Why is it that when you see a mosquito in your house...
 

...you immediately start getting itchy all over?

The mosquito isn't even on your shoulder yet it suddenly itches.
It's not on your neck either, but now that's itchy too.

You feel a sharp itch on your leg, it must be the mosquito!... you slap it... but there's nothing there.

You'll spot it 20 minutes later, buzzing around your tv, or your monitor, or you'll be lying in bed trying to sleep and it will "eeeeeeeeeeeeeee-eeee-eeeeee" past your ear. Then you'll have to turn on your side lamp and wait until you spot it up on the ceiling or high up on the wall. You get a chair and climb up, and smack it... and "SPLAT"... little fucker was full of blood. Now you've got to go get a wet rag and clean it off the wall.

God I hate mosquitos.

Talk to Pavlov and his dog.

I have no idea what that means.


But I do know that they fogged the city this past week. Twice. The mosquito population is down to almost nil now.

I love it when they fog. :D

It's interesting stuff.

we have plenty here and my mosquito magnet is not keeping up to it:disgust

In Sweden the mosquitos are so big that it feel's good when they suck :)

Must just be you bro. I don't itch or slap unless they've actually bitten me.

Same shit that happens to CD happens to me......... I get freaking itchy everywhere and my skin is all irritated/itchy even before the g-d dam mosquito has bit me.... I don't complain too much though ..... in Central America (costa rica) there are some freak of nature mosquitos with larger than life stingers......that shit could literally go right through someone's jeans....

shit now I am itchy....... :(

Mosquitos are absolutely worthless creaturs.

psychosomatic - the mind is a powerful thing

No, I don't think it's just me. I think it's everyone but you.

Lucky you.

I think someone around me ordered a buffer zone around thier house, cause when the fogging truck came by the sprayer was not on.
so there is lots of Mosquitos around my place, but for some reason they do not bite me, and if they do bite me, it seems to have no effect.

this guy gets pretty hyper when a bird ends up in the house

We don't get them where I live.

That's one thing I loved about socal, definitely.


Some of the people in this thread have obviously never seen a manitoba mosquito. You think you have large one's where you are? ha

Just found out the best way to kill them short of chasing them. Spray the walls with bug killer. they spend more than 60% of their lives on walls.

maybe you are too slow :winkwink:

Nice, but it does nothing against the ones that get into your house.
