I did take a ride yesterday to the new store.  Got my new bucket and bought a few supplies.  It is a nice store but it is not a super store like the one in Hartville.  It is more the size of an Ace Hardware.  I went to the big store afterwards and got to talking with one of the employees there.  The store in Tallmadge does pull from their larger inventory and it gets delivered to the Tallmadge store for the customer.

Been a swarm of large mosquitoes get scared up when walking across the lawn lately.  Don't think they bite though.

Just the females...

Could you use a trap?

...are you sure they aren't Mosquito Hawks? They look like overgrown mosquitoes and are basically the raptors of the mosquito world, while mosquitoes are the bunny rabbits.

  Your right Dan, I remember when it was an Ace hardware in Hartville. I stopped yesterday and picked up a couple of Freud saw blades, but very limited as far as tools go.

They look like mosquitoes but are 10 tomes the size.  Didn't know what they were called.  Thanks.

Crane flies.

They lay their eggs in the lawn and the larva will eat the roots of the grass leaving large brown dead spots in the lawn then they develop wings and fly off to breed. We have them from 1" to 4"across.
