Summer is here, and with it comes the annual invasion of thousands of tourists.
Sure, they can get under our skin, buzzing around as they do on our highways. A fair bit of Alaska lore is built on the seasonal invasion of this bloodthirsty insect. Check out any Alaska gift store, and there, next to the moose nugget swizzle sticks and Alaska license plate key chains, you'll find the Alaska mosquito trap. Big enough to put a serious welt on a child's pinky finger, such gag gifts make the mosquito appear bigger than life. Marta Mueller, who works as a pest control expert with the University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service, isn't one to put this myth to rest.
