Rainfall in May and returning heat is perfect environment for thousands of mosquitoes in Arkansas
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – If you've had any BBQ's or bonfires outside lately, you may have noticed them. Pesky mosquitoes come back every summer, but this year it may be worse. According to the insect repellent company 'Off', Arkansas is under a high mosquito risk for May 30 – June 2, with a severe level expected by Monday and Tuesday. Andrea McNutt is one of many Arkansans feeling the effects of the Natural State's persistent rainfall from May. 'Like, I'm some kind of mosquito magnet or something,' McNutt said. Arkansas Storm Team Blog: Mosquito Mayhem Ahead for Arkansas While the sun has returned, some lingering puddles of water have become the new home to thousands of mosquitoes. One woman said it's becoming unbearable. 'They're horrible. I can't even sit out on my porch and drink my coffee. Within five minutes I'm swarmed,' Holly Hipple said. But there are some ways to try and keep mosquitoes from biting. Of course, one example is mosquito repellent. 'I don't like to go out a whole lot. And if I do, I'm spraying down with 'Off',' McNutt said. Philippine village battles dengue by offering bounties for mosquitos — dead or alive Other ways to try and avoid mosquitoes are clearing out clogged gutters and drains, and keeping your pool treated or covered and making sure nothing in your yard is holding standing water. This, mixed with the returning heat, can quicken a mosquito's life cycle. 'I had to dump my bird bath the other day. It was full and we left the tractor bucket up and it was full of mosquito larvae,' Hipple said. But the return of warmer weather is something these insects are going to have to share.

Sligo Rovers V St Patrick's Athletic Sligo Rovers will play their final game before the mid-season break at home this Friday, May 30 at The Showgrounds, instead of the usual Saturday evening kick-off.

This riotous one-woman show is the ultimate girl's night out, but everyone is welcome to join the fun. Elevation 'Elevation' by Conor Gallagher opened at the Hamilton Gallery last Saturday, May 24. Elevation started in Spring 2024 with journeys around Teesan, Carncash, Rahabarna and Kiltycooly in north Sligo where there are remarkable views of the Dartry mountains at close range. The show features paintings, photography and prints which are part of Conor's 'Sligo Mountain Series'. Conor's paintings in acrylic with their dramatic monotone blue skies offer a unique view of these familiar locations.
