Ha, we don't get them enough here in FL, land of the mosquito being our state's bird.

 

When I was a kid and we would all be outside playing, as soon as someone heard the truck coming they would yell "BUG TRUCK!" Everyone would run for cover until the truck and spray were gone.

LOL.  Seriously it isn't a thing in Seattle.  But we can also sit outside in the evenings without it being a bug fest.   My mom lives in Michigan (she was born and raised here though), and everyone there has these screened-in porches....a requirement for being outside!   I wouldn't enjoy that.

It's 95 degrees Fahrenheit in Memphis right now. I was going to add some moisture to my backyard compost pile... but the water that came out of the hose and into the bucket was actually steaming.

 

It's interesting, in a horrible kind of way.

So, coming from the Philippines, how does it suit you?

Twice weekly, loud trucks go down every city street, see JD ma'am.

They start at around Many (2x2x2+1) p.m. and finish whenever, see JD ma'am.

They spray kill-mosquitoing vapor into the air, die little biting suck-blooders man.

The effects are almost immediate, see JD ma'am.

The sequelae are good for a couple of days, with luck, see JD ma'am.

The stuff kills even those Q-Tip or Kotex skeeters** or whatever that carry West Nile virus, whee man.

Not ZERO.....but many few.  Also, no poisonous snakes on this side of the mountains!   This is important for those who would bring over snakeless New Zealanders.

Is good for garden! I envy @Adventine...... I am far too lazy to tend to compost pile.  Her garden must be so happy!  Here in Seattle, we do compost all food scraps or face FINES - then purchase compost bags at hardware store.

Many'rd,  si man.  We do await the big Cascadia subduction zone 10.0 quake though.  We embrace this as our fate for living in a beautiful snake-less and bug-free city with amazing summers.

Not deprived!  80, with no/low dew point humidity!  And back down to 50 at night.  This is July and August.  Abject perfection.

 

But, we did actually install AC last year. Growing up in the 70s and 80s, no one even had  AC in their cars.  The rainy August Gin Rummy tournaments of my late 70s childhood are gone.

Yup, we ran from the bug trucks in Ohio too. Screened in porches are wonderful to me, but No-See-Ums can get through pretty much anything.
