This mosquito is good at hiding
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Wallace" saying something like: OK then, I'll always believe an actual test over what some "expert" says. Wow, you could knock me over with a feather! I've never seen such a reply on the web! Good for you man. I'm not kidding. A thumbs up for you! All I've seen is the digging in of heels and the name calling and restating what was said so as to call the other a liar and bolster one's own position. I am really awestruck! Speechless! You have made my day. Unless you are pulling my leg . . . Thin end of the wedge, if you ask me. I mean, before you know it, we'll have tests and facts and undisputable results and the experts will be out of a job. Could turn things on their head, that could, and be the end of civilisation as we know it, with consultants on the dole queue left, right and centre. Think, man, think - the economic revival might very well depend on clueless, useless, otherwise unemployable armies of consultants and experts, dispensing worthless advice and baseless information. To have these finger-in-the-air advisors rendered impotent might be very dangerous indeed. |

One of the dangers is that, near water, they do form swarms large enough to cause cattle to stampede to try and escape them. In our garden they are silent and almost invisible in the evening, and they have no trouble biting through clothing, and leave lumps like new muscles that ache for several days. They are supposed to rely on running water to breed, but our garden is on a hillside half a mile from the nearest stream. Only way to beat them is not to go out there at dusk. I agree with you aboit the sandflies. I think I have them in my garden. No bites all day but come dusk... |

Even then the buggers are so thin you don't know they are there until you turn the light off and, shortly after, hear the whine in your ear. Turn it back on and they vanish instantly. They zero in on CO2, but I've also heard they like sweaty feet too. I doubt if they would be enticed by either light or flypaper: on the contrary, they hide till it gets dark. When you do try to swat them, come from behind or v slowly from above, with something wet. Or, if you don't mind the noise, a vacuum cleaner with the 'behind the sofa' attachment on is favourite. Get them first time or you will be up all night. The ones that sit with their back legs up and the body at an angle to the surface are the malaria carrying ones, and, yes, we do have them in the UK. I've generally found them on the wall somewhere nearby. I don't think they hide away anywhere. They do need a bit of looking for sometimes though. It doesn't sound like mosquitos in this case, though, unless there is the tell-tale whine. |

I don't care who is right and who is wrong. I just want the correct answer. I had seen a number of websites that say mosquitoes are not attracted to UV, and nothing to say the opposite. When I next see mosquitoes I'll drag out my zapper and see if it works. Mostly, mosquitoes are attracted to 3rd-World countries, and people who don't have any of the mosquito-nets yet. Fly-paper strips, you pull out of the cylinder like a coil, are really the best because you can taunt the little boogers until they croak... "Cain't touch this... Cain't touch this.." It's very gratifying and returns your sense of control. HTH. [I don't think PETA or the SPCA covers mosquitoes; but just in case, please use discretion repeating any of this because if they find out, they may stalk me -- or blog badly about me. They can be so insensitive and ruthless! TIA.] -- I AM Bucky Breeder, (*(^; and I'm not talking to the aliens because Stephen Hawking said it's not such a good idea : http://tinyurl.com/2g76h4c [http://www.timesonline.co.uk] http://tinyurl.com/396ljz4 [for those who need illustrations] Repent! The end is near.... So, smoke 'em if you got 'em. |

A mosquito has been in our bedroom for about a week, biting regularly at night; when we are fast asleep, in the early hours. We have some immovable cupboards etc, that are ideal for it to hide behind. Is there any way to entice it out, so we can deal with it? Spray the room with insect spray, doofus. In the cupboards, under the bed, everywhere. It'll smoke out and kill the ****er. |
