HOW TO: How to get rid of a single persistent mosquito, at night?

[GammaGlobulin]

Dear Folks,

 

Unfortunately, this will not be a long Topic, as I am now unable to easily sit at my computer, being consistently dive-bombed by just one super mosquito...already bitten me several times, and she is still out for blood!

 

Some of her bites, on my hands, I have already rubbed raw with a stiff scrub brush....yet still they itch, and itch....

 

I cannot see her, buy I can HEAR her.

 

What can I do...

Oh...

What can I DO!!!!?

 

I am sure you realize, just from being in my position in the past, that this is actually NOT a joke.

 

I have tried opening one door to the bathroom....with a light on...

Yet, she will not cooperate.

 

So....

Any ideas?

 

And, just about....

How much longer will she live...if I do not kill her before she dies a natural death?

 

Thank you so much.

 

Best regards,

Gamma

 

NOTE4:  Mosquitoes in this part of the world....prefer biting .....

 

Hands

Feet

 

IMHO....

Every supermarket, maybe even 7/11 is selling small spray bottles of ARS 1push. Just one short press keeps your room mosquito free for 24 hours. And no danger for human health.

This stuff works pretty good…

…or order some ddt from China. A non-toxic alternative is to get a bug zapper.

I know this product.

 

Quite good.

 

But, I do not like the stickiness and the faux lemon smell...

 

Still, this product DOES work better than most.

 

And, it comes in several different strengths of DEET....

 

So...I have used this a lot in Thailand....for various purposes.....

Some of which...

I will not name here.

I keep the 95% stashed in the motorcycles and cars, do a lot of walking in the mountains. Use the 50% when tooling around outside the house. The stickiness isn’t a bother, not as much as those little vamps

The electric ones work really good, plug them into a wall socket wait 10-30 minutes and bugs just fall on the floor.

Mozzies don't like the light. 

Spray water around bathroom to make it humid. Leave door ajar with light OFF.

If have mozzies go in, enter and lather up a hand and then swat them. They'll either stick to the soap lather or, if you've only clipped them they'll go down like a German Messerschmitt.

[stoner]

let it land on you and drink till she overdoses. then swat the fat bitch all over your foot. 

 

have a funeral if you want.

Well this could not happen in Singapore, on my last trip I mentioned to the guide I have never seen a single mosquito of course not said my tour guide they are all married.

This company, as you might know, has slightly changed its packaging...over the years...but...

 

It's still the best stuff I have found...so far....outside of....

 

THE US ARMY Supply Depot....

My house NEVER gets humid.

 

I do not let water collect on the bathroom floor, which is a hazard, in itself.

 

The ONLY reason I have one of those mozzies, as you call them...is because....during new AC installation...

The workers left the doors open...

Just a further inquiry, following your comment:

 

Does this stuff work on human leeches, too?

Maybe also Pattaya leeches, and leeches in the Caribbean islands, also?

 

Leeches, so unfortunately, abound almost everywhere.

But there is no worse than human leeches, ...maybe....

Wow!

 

I just saw, this moment, on this forum....

An ad for ...

 

CHANEL N° 5

 

FINALLY....this forum is beginning to dish up some ads that I actually LOVE to look at....if not...

Buy.

 

No Joke.....

We need more CLASS around this place.

 

And, if you have the money....

Chanel is good for the mosquitoes...too.

 

ALSO....

 

This is an example of Beautiful Packaging....

 

If you are into this kind of thing.

I'll take hers......

 

 

 

So distinctive....

Put a can of mosquito spray by the bed, they seem to recognise it and stay away, works for me

I made some blue PVC pipe window screens something like this for my night-time windows and now the mosquitos just go someplace else.

Sit him down and discuss energy rating decals on white goods.

 

He will either get up and leave... or neck himself.

Very nice craftsmanship, for sure.

My GF has sweet blood. Any time there is a mosquito in the room, it heads for her instead of me. I let her deal with it.

 

OP, you need a GF with sweet blood, who also irons clothes.

This is OFF TOPIC, the one you started yourself. Unless you use Chanel 5 to get rid of mozzies.

[steven100]

Best mozzie-zapper I ever bought ...      you can use it as the tennis racket zapper and stand at night with the UV light ...

Now I get it but a comer after mosquito,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,would help.

Throw a hot Iron at it.......................

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned a fan yet. You need a fan on you anyway if you're not running A/C. If you are running A/C mosquito's are not an issue. Welcome to Thailand.
