RangerClay Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) If anyone had told me I would have been swatting mosquitoes in northern NY on March 15th, I would have told them they were nuts. They were out in force last night!! Edited March 16, 2012 by RangerClay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUDRUNNER Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 It's going to a bad year for bugs and ticks. I've even already seen a few bees flying around the yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I had them buzzing the other day. I went to retrieve some steps from a tree that grew around them in a season. Needed a hammer to break them free. It felt like i was in the middle of August. It seemed like everything budded and popped out in the hours between noon and 5 o'clock.

Shaun_300 Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Yeah I couldn't believe the amount of bugs hitting the car coming down I-81 this evening! BTW Joe, we pulled into Adams, NY to McDonalds for a quick bite to eat on the way down, would have gave you a call but still didn't get a PM reply confirming your numbers. We'll try and stop in on the way home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Tick crawled across my boot while I was working on fences here yesterday, Christina got back and had one attached. Gonna be a real bad year for crawling and flying bugs here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I had a bug free weekend cutting wood. I am expecting a bad year with bugs in the Catskills. I don't think I taste good. Ticks seems to leave me alone. Mosquitoes love me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
