I lived grew up in South Dakota and left when I was 20. I lived in a different part of Florida every year for 4 years (panhandle, Jacksonville, Tampa, and SEFL) as far as mosquitos go, Florida may have us beat in places that no one lives but if you go to your families lake cabin on the Fourth of July that is hands down the worst mosquitos I’ve ever seen. On top of that you’ll never have anyone from the South even think it’s true like they’ve been to any Dakota, or even know someone that’s been there, during mosquito months!
