there's an especially sneaky mosquito in here with me.

i gotta say that kinda sucks. that might be a pun, but if it is it's really quite terrible so i'm just going to ignore it.

Two ways to deal with mosquitoes...
1. Turn off all the lights and light a candle. The mosquito will fly into the flame and crisp up instantly.
2. Hairspray. One zap and their wings stick together and they drop to the floor.

Good luck.

Leave your arm exposed.

Wait until you catch the little sucker in the act.

While it's doing its thing, flex, and watch what happens when it can't handle the sudden bloodflow.

Okay, so you still have to deal with an itchy mosquito bite, and it's petty. But it's interesting to try once.

I like flashlights and vacuum cleaner hoses

Get a Bic lighter and light the hairspray as you spray it...this is an outdoor trick only

If you don't kill it, you will get bit either on the ear or the eye

My oldest was telling me about Vampire Kissers last night, I believe they are located in Mexico. Apparently they only bite lips but they inject some sort of Novocaine first so you don't feel the rest of the bite. According to Thing 1, your heart beats really fast when they're done. Now I haven't done any research but that seems like an awful lot of blood to lose in order to up your heart rate. Also your lip supposedly swells to the size of your head.

Please note: this was from a 10 year old so none of this might be true. The moral here is, thank goodness it's not a Vampire Kisser.

you people completely underestimate the sneakiness of last nights mosquito. i never saw it. i just felt it and by the time i tried to do anything about it it was long gone. it was an evil little fucker. i need to seal up my ac better.

 

[Noor]

[pointless]

That's why my choice is a lit candle.
Set and forget.

On a side note, I actually don't get bitten by mozzies... they fly straight past me and get everyone else. For some reason they don't like my blood.
Midges on the other hand....

 

[sweepthefloor]

It was me. I bit you.

 

[pointless]

[sweepthefloor]

i have a knife.

That will not be needed.

Flashing on an old Far Side toon showing two mosquitoes, one with a terrified expression and bloating up like a balloon, the other saying, "Pull out, Gladys! Pull out! You've hit an artery!"

Trivia: Mosquitoes of both sexes live mostly on the nectar of flowers. But, in some species, the females need vertebrate-blood before they can lay eggs.
