This might be one of the most random topics I have ever seen on a forum board in awhile. Those mosquitos are sneaky bastards though. They always bite me when I don't notice, or when I do notice it is too late.

Mosquitos suck. And attack you.

This is what i use on the bastards:

In the summer time when I work at the beach horseflys are everywhere. Truly a pain the rear. I generally grab a fly swater and just clear every room that I hang out in when on my break. I go on this like killing frenzy. I'm at the point know that I hear the buzzing and I just think, time to swat!

[zarakand]

That should take care of it. Psst, how about those mosquito screens, eh? I hear they really work wonders.

Get a spray bottle of water and spray at it, the water will weigh them down and they plummet.


Of course supplementing spray bottle with can of hairspray and a match is a lot more fun.

Now there's one in my office! What did you do? Scare it this way?

Where I lived in Northern California, the mosquitos were the size of bears!!! Freaking scary to be outside during the afternoon...

[Shiv]

Well at least it solves the bear problem.

Hes not here anymore..I guess hes asleep or my dog ate him, because he was buzzing around until I logged off (and avoiding slappage!)

Horseflies and deer flies are evil! but their eyes sure are pretty cool looking.... I want to get one of those electric fly swatter things, apperently they are lots of fun you hit people with when youve been drinking.
