Mosquitoes driving me nuts!

BraziliaNZ

So it's 4.47am and I haven't been able to sleep all night as Mozzies are whizzing around my room all night and seem to be swooping past my ear making that freaky eerie high pitched buzzing noise almost as if they are purposely trying to keep me awake . So now I've had to turn the light on and go on the net as they are just too irritating. As I have no spray or anti-mozzie devices here right now, are there any other ways of getting them the hell out of my room??? And I've to start a new job in the morning...

a rolled up newspaper and some patient stalking should do the trick

So this pirate walks into a bar and he's got a mosquito and a drive-shaft attached to his crotch. He asks for a pint. The barman says, "I'm sorry, I have to ask, why do you have a mosquito and a drive-shaft attached to your crotch?"

The pirate says, "Yaarrr, the mosquitoes driving me nuts"

Give up the house, they have clearly won.

Personally, I welcome our new mosquito overlords.

Ladies and gentlemen, er, we've just lost the picture, but, uh, what we've seen speaks for itself. The BraziliaNZ spacecraft has been taken over - "conquered", if you will - by a master race of giant space mosquitoes.

I tried hiding under my quilt but it's too hot for that and you can still hear the bastards. Anyway I've given up now they won this battle, no sleep for me tonight. However I'm going to spend a fortune on defences later on for my room, I'll teach them to mess with me...

I'm baffled. So much I don't think I can even spell Baffled correctly.

Where are you exactly? Country wise?

BraziliaNZ

New Zealand. Why are you so baffled?

rubbing dry soap on the bite

applying vinegar to the bite

licking the bite/ applying saliva

Please stay away from the hospitals, they have enough trouble without you suggesting stalking patients and swatting them with newspapers (though on the other hand if it reduces waiting times, Mary Harney might thank you)

And yeah cheers OP, it's cold, wet, dark and miserable here without a single insect bothering to stick its proboscis out. So thanks for rubbing our noses in it with your heat and summer and barbies and hobbits and scenery and all you have to worry you is a tiny insect looking for a little sip.
Bah humbug, yeah humming bugs.

Wear dark clothes, use plenty of perfumed deodourant/soaps, keep your windows open at dusk and dawn, leave some bowls of water out, avoid nets, that only enrages them and the really hungry skinny ones squeeze through the mesh but cant get out when they gorge so just keep coming back for more.

Jungle spray, and avoid perfume. it attracts them

actually, it'll be alright. these demons only possess the body of a virgin.

Don't live in a freaky country that has flying lizards. Ireland has no extreme weather, no killer buzzing things, no killer anything full stop. Great land that'll grow anything.

See now! Thought it was great going off to a place in the sun and what did it get you? Mosquitoes.

Smear honey all over yourself. That'll sort it.

slipss

Your best bet? Break itno the nearest pet store and steal a couple of dozen lizards, let them loose in your room, problem solved.

ok I have bought a Mortein Odourless Mozzie Zapper from the supermarket today. Let's see how the little gets fare against this...

FunkZ

Get a lighter and a can of Lynx.

BraziliaNZ
