Dark Star Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Does a warmer winter have any effect on the insect population, like gnats and mosquitoes? Are there any general guidlines on how cold it has to be to reduce the mosquito population? Some mosquitoes were flying around my car two weeks ago in Linden NJ.

MJO812 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 This winter feels longer than it has so far. I still remember people were talking about an epic pattern in late Novemver and comparing it to 2010 because of the blocking. What a failure that was 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a horticulturalist not an entomologist but if insects react like plants it has to do with the lowest temperature recorded more so then the overall temp. So despite this winter being incredibly warm overall we have had some decent cold and this next shot could really do the trick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but I don't believe they "die" they just go into hibernation and as soon as it gets warm again back they come. And especially if it rains a lot which is why we're told to spray all standing water to make sure we kill their larvae dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibertyBell Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Some horrible person decided to take a pigeon and color it pink using a dye and the sickly bird was brought in to an animal rescue where it was nursed back to health. The bird couldn't fly and couldn't fend for itself and needed to be rescued. The theory is this dimwitted person did it for a "gender reveal" party. This reminds me of the dimwit who set off fireworks that started a massive wildfire for a gender reveal party in California a couple of years ago. All gender reveal parties should be BANNED. No one cares what your offspring is, keep it to yourself and stop damaging the environment with your egotistical need to brag about being a breeder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
