They seem to be worse this year. In number and ferocity. Normally 2-stroke exhaust from my chainsaw keeps them away. Not so this year. Guess I'll have to go with a heavier mix to thicken the exchaust.

I skimped on raking the lawn this year 'cause of them. Just a quick once over to mitigate any winterkill.

They're not bad if you keep moving at a walking pace. Bug spray keeps them down.
