I love the warm weather and I can even take most of the bugs. I do hate the beetles that bore into my zucchini stems though and we get so many house flies buzzing around in the yard. I don't know where they all come from. If you have the door open for a minute 20 will fly in and I have to spend the rest of the day catching them.

Bugs? I haven't even seen a skeeter yet, not that I'm complaining mind you. While I do celebrate the solstices and equinoxes I'm waiting for some longer nights. It's a bit of a drag having to wait til 9 oclock to do anything with the telescope.

quit cooking - flies are attracted to smells - don't cook and they won't come in - LOL - I hate flies - period. if one comes in I'll chase him forever to get him back out.

there's a site for getting rid of things -

helpgetridof.com

for bugs, pests, etc.

I sympathize. I sometimes have to put a small fan in my kitchen window when I use my stovetop smoker. I always use the smoker later at night when it cooled down outside and the bug fly in like crazy while that window is up. I keep meaning to get a piece of screen of some sort. They have lights all over the balcony that attract bugs like crazy.

You can staple a piece of screen in place. You know the mosquitos are horrid, a reason I did not mind not having a garden this season. I am waiting until fall, and will probably put in a fall garden.
