Sanibel Island Has Mosquitos?

I laughed outloud as I wrote the title of this post! 🙂

Of course we have mosquitos on Sanibel Island… where in Florida are there no mosquitos, right?

Well, with the Fourth of July Parade and Festivities coming up tomorrow, I’m here to tell you to always be prepared with plenty of strong mosquito repellent.

One year I forgot and boy, did I ever pay for it!

Every year the Lee County Mosquito Control District spends the week leading up to the 4th of July festivities spraying the area like crazy to kill the mosquito larvae before they hatch, but unfortunately this past week has not cooperated with the rain and winds that we’ve had, so there may be a “few” more mosquitos than we would all like to see.  You can read the article that they posted today regarding their efforts right here:  Lee County Mosquito Eradication.  Despite the weather, it looks like they will still have most of the area sprayed before all the events begin this weekend, which shows the incredible effort being made on their part!

So, a big thanks go out to them from all of us…

Well, we look forward to seeing you all out and about at the parade and events tomorrow and if I run out of mosquito spray will you lend me some of yours?  😉

Have fun and enjoy the long weekend,

Sandy and Rob
