catching mossies in mid flight >?

Featured Replies

whats your success rate when catching them in your hand and squeezing them to death with malice?

some seem very good at this

The only time you will catch them is after they have took your blood, then they are full and slow, clap your hands on a mossie and see the blood,

100%.

about 80% for me, I still have quick hands :-)

clap2.gifclap2.gifclap2.gif works one time in ten, for me.

Try doing it with chop sticks........grasshopper!

 

Without the use of an electric bat the best way is to grab at them with soapy hands. As long as you're pretty close to them they usually get stuck on the suds.

my sister used to live here and teach the preschoolers. when she taught them the work mosquito she would always clap her hands together. by the end of the year when she would say "mosquito" the whole class of 4 year olds would (loudly) do a single clap cheesy.gif the cutest thing i ever saw.

Where do you think the wai originated?

Catch them i cant even see them but i know they are around by the lumps on my legs.

I only do it with chop sticks. Otherwise it's no contest.

wetting your hands improves your score by 80%

I catch them alive, pull their legs off and let them go.

I get hours of enjoyment from this sitting back, wondering how they are getting on.

It's only the female mozzies that bite - typical!

If they've already gotten into you, don't swat them. Stretch your skin and they can't withdraw their proboscis and get their tank overfilled. Then they die of internal haemorrhage and fall off dead.
