The word hate is such a strong word, but I'm going to use it. I HATE mosquitoes! Some people just look more flavorful than others and I am one of them. Whenever I get bit it swells up like an orange and that's without me itching it. My weakness is itching and stairs so the itching doesn't help either. That tennis racket thing you see is actually a electronic mosquito bat I picked up when I was in Vietnam. All the hotel employees had these in their hands whenever I was in a hotel, swinging in the air hoping to zap a mosquito to it's death. I know why it just says mosquito bat, rather than bug bat. I locked a fly in the bathroom with me so I could try and test it out on flies. It pretty much would just paralyze him for 20 seconds ( he was buzzing all over but couldn't fly) and then he was fine after that. I had to pretty much zap the fly for 3 minutes before he died, so for flies this is useless but who give a hoot about a fly.... those damn mosquitoes!I just took a 5 minute brake, to kill 2 more in my room while I was writing this
shit. I recently put a air conditioner in my room ( about friggin time!) and there is a hole somewhere letting the mosquitoes in. It's seems only mosquitoes come in too which suxs, because my room is closed and I'm getting bit in the dark, swinging this bat around hoping to kill them doing so. I pretty much taped the outer part of the air conditioner because I thought it was coming from the air vents but that's not the case because I tapped up ever vent and taped a screen over the vent and still they keep coming in.One more day of this and hopefully this hole will be shut! I woke up today with a huge bite on my temple, my neck, the knuckle of my thumb, even on my damn Adams apple! WTF?
update - 9/5/07 4:39am: Just hunted down another bastard mosquito with a little patience and a golden retriever arm grabber thing. so that's a total of 13 mosquito's I've counted and killed so far in my room thus far in 10 hours
