You wouldn't want to that here or where Bill summers except in the
fall after there's been a killer frost. The bugs would drive you
crazy. After a good rain there can be over 8 million mosquitos per
acre and the 4 million blood sucking females are happy to travel the
100 feet to get to you.

Same here.
