So 2 weeks ago we had a C-130 spraying the entire area from Avery Island to Crowley for Mosquitoes.  I'm flying on my paramotor watching this thing zip around the area back and forth....and can't figure out why in the world they decided to come down here to "test" spray....according to the local news.  WELL WELL WELL, now we know.  Daddy warbucks was scheduled to visit the area, planned to land a 92 in the Marsh and actually get out of the vehicle.  Had they not sprayed.....this is what the scene would have looked like.  But fret not.  These are marsh bugs, they don't kill easy and will be right back next week in larger numbers.  I'm afraid their lil project down here in the swamps might not go as well as planned once mother nature has her say.   This statement comes to you from an Avionics technician who worked in Cameron swatting skeeters for over 10 years down there.  And some nights....this image is "balls on" accurate.  I once had to work on a getting an Outerlink cp-2 swapped out of a 407 and I told the mechanic.....just close the damn baggage door on me when I get in there....That's how bad they were that night.  Breathe through your teeth.  Otherwise, you'll have bugs clogging in your nose...and down your throat.  

worked in cameron and intracoastal and was never bothered by mosquitos. 

Lol, yeah, the five minute walk from the Ops building to the helicopter .....to start the worlds largest leaf blower.....

Gee I guess you didn't get too many mosquito bites.....jack-a-ss.  

You didn't work in Cameron liar.  If you did you would have shut the Fk up on this thread and just chuckled and kept scrolling like EVERYONE else who did.

You, just like Say wut, are the type of guy we'd open the aircraft doors on, and leave them open all night with a Lamp and extension cord .....just to make damn sure you had a comfortable ride all day trying to kill the 50 mosquitoes buzzing around the cockpit biting your a-ss.

Share the love.

That's our motto.

Interesting. I also have worked in Cameron and Intracoastal City and remember being tormented by skeeters all summer long. Guess they like the taste of my blood more than yours. (I wish it were not the case.)

Worked from Venice and Freeport and everywhere in between. Gotta say Sabine Pass was the worst. Those mosquitoes were fierce critters. Summer or winter, it didn’t matter. There are stories of them choking cattle. 

I concur !
