3. Growing up in SoCal and my kids growing up here - we NEVER had mosquitos. Until the Aedes aegypti arrived in 2014.

Misery ever since.

And I look for every tiny little standing water source and use mosquito larvicide granular disks in any I can't empty, like plant pots.

Those things bite and bite, and bite some more. I hate them. And they're so small you often don't see them until it's too late.
