I've lived in pretty much every part of Florida in the 45 years since my family moved here. I can tell you that the "blind mosquitoes" are HORRIBLE in some areas of North Florida - and especially around Lake Okeechobee. We would get them 3 inches deep on the decks by morning during a bloom at the docks in Green Cove Springs. Love Bugs are thick in May and September - north of about Fort Pierce - and especially away from the coasts. However, for pretty much everything else, it seems to depend on what municipality you live in as to which bugs are under control - and which are not. At Lighthouse Point Yacht Club we NEVER see mosquitoes, flies, midges or most any other pests for that matter. But when we were 5 miles south of here in Pompano Beach, the mosquitoes were absolutely unbearable at certain times of the year!
