Hi r/houston

We’re looking to move to Houston, but are unsure of what to make of the mosquito situation. A lot of what I’ve found online is pretty gloomy – “just stay inside May through September” “don’t try fighting it as none of the misters or anything do much.”

Are the mosquitoes really that bad and is there anything that helps keep them at bay? Are some neighborhoods in the greater Houston / Harris County neighborhood better than others? (We’re primarily looking at The Woodlands / Spring)

The main draw for moving is warmer weather and the possibility of a pool. We’d love to spend most evenings in the backyard, but mosquitoes seem to love me and I’ve seen a lot of posts that say just stay inside after sunset.

Any help is appreciated.

Seriously – what the f**k are we doing on I-45 north of downtown? People line up for miles tailgating each other in the left lane, refusing to move over. Then, you can’t move over when you need to because of the sheer congestion of the highway. You basically have to ride the same person’s ass for 45 minutes until you get to The Woodlands area.

Then, you’ve got assholes dangerously weaving in and out of lanes just to ultimately get a single car length ahead of where they were to begin with. Not to mention the criminal scum that emerges onto the highway at places like Greenspoint, Aldine and other hellholes of Houston.

Is I-45 one of the worst highways in the nation? I’m not sure the expansion project would really do anything to alleviate the issues that plague that road.
