As a Florida camper, you always have to be mindful that this is a tropical state with lots of bugs. Light is always the big draw for any flying insect, so the trick is, keep lights away from the TM Door. I use hanging lights from my awning to draw them away. I have also changed out the light bulb next to the door to amber and put a poster board over the door window to block the inside light. The most active time for mosquitoes is the first 30 minutes after sunset. They settle down after that, and you can usually sit around the campfire without being attacked. Mosquito repellent containing deet also helps. Follow these simple guidelines and you can survive in the Florida campgrounds.
