    They love me :evil: and I'm not used to them, so the bites get big ...

    I won't leave the house in the evening without taking a "shower" in Off or that natural citronella stuff. And I started eating vitamin B12, I read that this might help too. It's worth a try, right?
    Gardening is much more fun if they don't come close...
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!

    I used to get tons of bites as a kid...
    Now that I live in an otherwise mosquito-less area, when I go get bit, they are huge!
    Have one on the back of my leg that is about 3.5 inches in diameter. :x

    im the same swell up like a mf...

    up here the sell these b12 patches (apply like a cig patch) and last for a day or so. Very effective.

    other than that i use the off candles/lanterns for patio and spray.

    try looking for afterbite... really good for the itching.

    I heard about those patches! I need some...or maybe I should just take a bunch of B vitamins in the summer... :think:

    I heard that if you pee on them, they don't itch.

    My SIL attracts mosquitos like crazy. Which is good for everyone els hanging out with her. Take one for the team!

    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    I was there, I can't believe it's been that long. Damn.

    I read recently that if you dig a hole and place a beer bottle, with the neck exposed above ground, with a little beer left in it, the mosquitos are attracted to that. So if you're hanging outside, it might be a good idea to place a few well selected bottles around. Just remember where you put them and keep the kiddies away from them.

    I could see myself getting drunk, forgetting about them and stepping on them later when I sneak off to take a leak. :lol:
    I suppose I'd take a few mosquito bites over a beer bottle puncture through my foot! :lol:

    thought this thread was about Hershey show..
    If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

    Well you could always place them up against the house by the deck or whatever, maybe by the fence? I hear you about the potential for danger. Maybe use plastic beer bottles, at least that way you won't hurt yourself.

    I heard that you can also get some dry ice, and place a bucket of water with dry ice in it and the skeeters will be attracted to that since dry ice is basically a carbon dioxide haven...so, not only will your picnic be skeeter free, you have awesome ambiance. :lol:

    ( I might even do that with the yellow jacket traps so they can't get back out... :idea: )
