Mosquitos

Alcohol doesn't deter them!

I was in Petchabun with a mate while he visited his gfs parents. Me and his gfs brother got shitfaced on Sang Som and I fell asleep on a bench on the porch. I was bitten to buggery in the morning!!

Not a nice place to be "in the morning"

I once called an American as my Yorkshire grandmother used to call me - a bleedin' bugger.

He said he knew what a bugger was, but a bleeding one sounded very nasty.

Maybe you don't drink enough!

Would the Boots Cream helped then ?

Seriously though, Roll On deoderant works well, as long as the actice constituant is Aluminium Thyosulphate.

As far as a repellant, The good old Rid or Aeroguard Tropical is the best, the active constituant there is something called D.E.E.T, look for that and it will make you invisible to the mossies. I think DEET is for Di-Ethyl-Ethyl-Toluine or something like that.

Slapping on generous amounts of Buffalo Manure may also work.

I agree the squitos here are indeed very smart torpedo bombers. Heck I just go to the bathroom, and zooooom one goes by in front of my eyes and it comes back in stealth mode. By the time I get done and get out, I already got zapped quietly and effectively mind you.

In America, when those squitos start to bite you , you can most of the time feel that bite and zap it dead on your body. Here if they sense you are about to zap them to oblivion, they vamoosh out and are gone by the time you hit your body.

That is why I am say they are indeed smart. Coils are effective but up to a point. Best is to find that Anti- repellant, and make sure it is loaded up with DEET. If you are smelling like toledo your guaranteed to be never attacked but don't bend over unless you have your target off center.

One thing I did notice here tho, electricity for some reason repels them outright, but it sure does attract the ants by the hundreds of thousands.

So figure that out?????????

We'd use that in the bedroom (less choking than a coil) and use a coil on the balcony.

One day you might learn how to use contraceptives properly

These raquet zappers, do they have an English brand name?

And made in LoS?

Could someone post a pic?

TIA.

Mine has "Electronic Mosquito Trap" embossed on both sides of the handle and has the name "Little Angel" written very small at the top of the handle - where the little light comes on when you push the button on the handle to "electrify" it.

Those tennis raquet things are top fun!

It looks like the OP, Bergener, has been carried off by some big Darwin mozzies.

Did anyone see him go by?

Dave, I've found lathering up my hand with soap in the bathroom proves more successful at hand-swatting mozzies. They either stick to the soap or if you just clip them, then they'll fall spinning to the floor like a downed messerschmidt.

I think the ants may be attracted to the dead mozzies carcasses or remains on the zappers.
