Mesceeeettoooo out

[clearconscience]

I just remember one year camping and rafting in Maupin and the mosquitos were so biblically aweful I didn't want to leave the tent. There were swarms of them.
You walk out in the morning and any piece of skin was instantly covered.

Taking a leak was aweful.

That was the most miserable time in the outdoors I've ever had.

Have you been nice enough to build a bat house for them?

Thanks. Now that we own a home, I'll make a project this fall to build a bat box and mount it on the side of the house for next spring. Something I can 'do once and forget' around here with little or no maintenance.

Elimination of any stagnant water will go a long way in keeping mosquitoes from reproducing.

I have a light in the back yard. It's murdered many so far this year.

one time the mosquitos were so bad at my buddys house we put out a zapper and started drinkin beer. it killed so many mosquitos there was a heavy smoke haze we were sitting in. BLAHHH!

I used to work down in Klameth Falls a few weeks a year. They have trucks that drive around spraying for them.

The hipsters on the west side would just sh*t if they saw that.

I have a bubbler on the deck and noticed some larva in there today. Got three feeder fish at the pet store and dumped them in there. They went right to work on them.

It's tempting to say that they've never bothered me much, but then I think about those days back in the 1960s in the high sierra meadows trout fishing when you'd step out of the truck and immediately turn black with mosquitos.

I am a mosquito delicacy! Must be my corn and beef fed O-NEG goodness.

I have a rare blood type, ab- and mosquitos think I'm delicious

If you ever need a blood transfusion you'd better hope one of us O- are around... we are the quintessential universal blood type, but if I ever need a transfusion I'd better hope another O- is around, nothing else is compatible!

That would make for a good Weird Al spoof-Hendrix tune... "mosquito haze".
