When you see a mosquito, do you try and kill it? email this discussion to a friend?

I was just replying on some of the discussion here in myLot when a mosquito came by my sight and I ceased typing for a moment. Silently followed the mosquito by sight and prepared my hands to clap it dead.

Then I recalled that I also do that in other places, in other situations even when some people are around. In the bus, while in class, anywhere lol

How about you guys? Whenever you see a mosquito, do you kill it? confused

I sure do. I hate them dang things. they eat me up. We don't have mosquitos out here yet in Indiana, I don't believe. It is warm outside today though, so there may be some. I will kill everyone of them that I see because they tear me up.

Wow, that's good for you then, not seeing them much thumbup

Yes!

I've lived in places where the mosquitoes were as thick as fog and also where they were considered the state bird.

I got rid of them any chance I could!


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (3024)   ranked 55 out of 19,485 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Hmmm, what are you methods on getting rid of them...?


myLot reputation of 90/100. Ldyjarhead (5170)   ranked 268 out of 19,485 in questions & answers  2 years ago


Well your topic was about smacking and killing them, so that's mainly what I meant.

I don't use chemicals, but I did use citronella candles and plant based repellants.




myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (3024)   ranked 55 out of 19,485 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Do you really see them dead on the floor near where you placed those or they just repel mosquitos away?


myLot reputation of 90/100. Ldyjarhead (5170)   ranked 268 out of 19,485 in questions & answers  2 years ago


They repel only. I don't know of anything that kills them outright (other than heavy duty chemical pesticides).


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (3024)   ranked 55 out of 19,485 in questions & answers  2 years ago

I see...

Thanks again for sharing thumbup

Yes. I hate getting bug bites. I don;t g looking for bugs to kill, but if they come in the house, I'll get them.


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (3024)   ranked 55 out of 19,485 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Yeah, I do that also. I got easily irritated by the noise they make. I dont want also to get bitten by a mosquito.


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (3024)   ranked 55 out of 19,485 in questions & answers  2 years ago

I sometimes get into such a pose, like those who do t'ai chi, or that chinese martial art and system of callisthenics, consisting of sequences of very slow controlled movements, and then suddenly clapping my hands too loud..

I'll just realize later that others are oddly looking at me lol

Mosquito's love me and I hate them, so yes I try to kill it to prevent the blood sucker from biting me, or my small kids! I can't stand them, it's second nature to try to kill them!


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (3024)   ranked 55 out of 19,485 in questions & answers  2 years ago

So what are the things that you usually do to have them killed? Insecticide Spray? Repellants? What types in case there are varieties..?

Definitely, when I see one, it's my reflex action to tap it or clap it. It annoys me, and mosquito can be quite dangerous as well. Especially those day mosquitoes, they can be carrier of dengue fever. I either use my hand, or anything around that I can see like newspaper to swat it dead. Here in the Philippines, especially in the provinces some are still using mosquito net when they are sleeping to protect them from mosquito bites.


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (3024)   ranked 55 out of 19,485 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Ah yes.. sometimes, such mosquito nets could be as big as the very bed we sleep on.

Others would install fine wire mesh on their windows. thumbup

We once had that when I was still small and my brother had a very old one which I often heard them call a mosquitero
