I was thinking of the lush green lawn thread...I spent a lot of time in my yard this weekend. And I get pissed sometimes I cant enjoy it -- fucking mosquitoes!
Anybody use those electric zappers, sprays, etc, to get rid of 'em?
:x :evil:
I got the spray system... But I've learned that Florida mosquitos laugh at the spray :shock:

Yeah, they are some devilish bastards! I had one of those sprays that you hook up to the hose. Worked Ok, but with all this rain, I think it just washed away.

i once was bitten hundreds of times maybe thousands & could not leave my location as i was on a secret mission lurking about in a swamp, mid summer during a very wet season, & was sporting sandals, shorts & probably a sleeveless t-shirt. once i was home, i became ill for several days afterwards with fever & flu type symptoms & i itched like 41 mf'ers
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
They like people who sends out lots of hormones like if you're h**rny and also people who are drunk and have dark clothes..
Sometimes I let them bite me it's kind of fun to look at

they also really like people who have 'Type O' blood...I am O+...and I'm allergic to mosquitoes...the bites turn into huge swollen welts the size of golf balls. :(
I need to get a 'bug suit'...

bats eat them too...having a pet bat would be cool...he'd love me, it would be like eating at an all you can eat buffet for him.

Too many. :x Not to mention a spider bite. Vengeance will be mine.
Maybe if that spider had more mosquitoes to eat, he would quit biting you. I have 0 mosquito bites currently, but the powers that be say the W. Nile mosquito is at higher levels than ever in this town. Our county is leading the state in mosquitoes testing positive for W Nile. :fp:

Lol, my kid had a couple the size of a baseball, no joke. Must have been munching on him for about 10 minutes.
You know that can be a frightening thing. Both my boys have had massive reactions to mosquito bites when they were younger. My older boy got a bite on the ankle that swelled so much he had difficulty walking. The bites he got that year were like 5 inches of red, hot, swollen, painful reaction. Over time they have gotten less and less and now are more like normal mosquito bites. The younger boy got it on his forehead one year. I saw the mosquito on him. 24 hours later, the swelling nearly closed his eyes. The bridge of his nose was massive and you could almost see the swelling spreading down to the tip of his nose. They had to put him on prednisone. He can still get a 2-3 inch spot from a mosquito bite but nothing like the first time. I saw the pictures a few weeks ago and it still kind of takes my breath away. :shock:

Its crazy. My kids reactions are not as bad as yours but he had a huge egg on his forehead from a bite. Luckily he is disciplined by nature and doesn't scratch them much. Still a little freaky to see them swell up so much.
Well apparently the mosquitoes are so bad, and the threat of W Nile is so high that they have a city of 150 K trapped indoors while they spray pesticides all over town. I even brought my chickens inside the garage because the pesticide could make them sick. :fp:

all natural, was outside for a good 8 hours, and I didn't get a bite! Feel better that I'm not spraying myself with a chemical that they aren't sure what the long term effects are.

In a town that was ranked #6 in 2010 in Money Magazine's Best Places to Live. It is ordinarily just lovely, a high desert and is usually very arid. Last year we had a massive wildfire. But it has been wet this summer, and the mosquitoes have gone crazy. And apparently so have the powers that be. According to the county health department website's West Nile virus page, so far this summer:
Human cases: 18
Human WNV risk: EXTREMELY HIGH
WNV-positive mosquito pools: 162

I'm also +0
I'm afraid that's all I could think of too.
Do those bug 'tennis rackets' work on mosquitos? They have an electrical current and you wave them through the air and zap the bugs.

I've always wondered if that girl was permanently scarred to the point of spending money cosmetically.
Maybe if that spider had more mosquitoes to eat, he would quit biting you.
