Author Topic: mosquitos and questions, help. (Read 3706 times)

Doctor today gave me a prescription for a hot tub: RA, Sjogren's, Fibro, raynauds, bad cervical and lumbar spine, ect...
I have choices narrowed down to Sundance Capri or Altamar...Possibly Hot Springs JetSetter NXT (hubby does not like hot springs)
No wet tests yet
and the problem is Mosquitos (South Texas) are on ultra high mode and very aggressive, so I don't even know if we could try a wet tests,
1. What is a good time of year without mosquitos? I certainly don't need anything else added into my list of ailments.
2. Also, are there going to be any 4th of July Military discounts? My Husband is retired military.

Sundance dealer had a Dover on the floor and hubby just fit, so we figure he'd fit the Capri a little better...
As for Hot Springs dealer here does not yet have NXT or a jet setter

Have you considered a hot tub screened enclosure / cabana, not only would it keep the blood sucking vampires out, it would also help protect the hot tub from the elements and probably prolong its life.

oh, yes, will be in a screen enclosed room ..it's just getting out for the wet test at the dealer. Mosquitos on the showroom floor.
They sure are aggressive this year!

It is the same here in SW Louisiana

I live in the Houston area. We generally use our tub later at night. I have not found insects to be a problem. We wanted to use our tub before deciding whether or not to enclose it. I will say looking up at the night sky is pretty nice. You will get more bites. But I am just suggesting you might consider the view.

Cheers,

I was going to wet tests today and couldn't get outta the bathroom as I got sick to my stomach. So hubby went off to home depot and he made a small house repair.
I'm so disappointed I was so excited...and no it's not pms...darn it!

Get a thermocell lantern. They work great to keep Mosquitos away. Just set it out about 10-15 minutes before venturing out....it clears them away!!!!!! You can find them at most sporting goods stores, walmart, and cabbalas,,,,,,hope that helps!!!!
