You've heard of mpg, psq, rpm and so on. Now in southeast Louisiana, there is another abbreviated ratio: mpm, meaning "mosquitoes per minute." It seems that three weeks ago, when a new batch of salt marsh mosquitoes hatched, a person on the Kenner levee could expect 20-25 "mosquito landings per minute" on his or her skin. After three weeks of aggressive spraying, by land and by air, the rate is down to just 5 or 6 mpm.

That is too much!! How do you guys manage? Does it get cool at all in Louisiana, and if so, do the mosquitoes still come around during the cooler season?
