I Hate #19 - Mosquitos

Where I am, mosquitos are absolutely brutal in the summertime. I'm in the prairies at the moment, and there are always massive clouds of them hanging around. And I hate to admit it, but the ugly little fuckers creep me out... it really bothers me when I look down and see one of the repulsive little bastards (or should I say bitches, since it's the females that feed on blood) snacking on my arm or whatever.

I also really hate that high pitched whine their wings make when they fly. I have an unfortunate reflex that when I hear that whine in my ear, I freak out like a little sissy girl and slap at my head like it's on fire... usually sending my glasses flying and generally ending up looking like a total spaz.

Remember, tip over any containers of standing water you find outside so they can't reproduce in there. Lots of times when you find something with water in it you can see the larva swimming around!

ถึง dmc01 : Yeah, wouldn't be so bad if we were like Texas and had any kind of decent bat population, the talk about um before Longhorn games lol, Texas bats eat 10,000LBS of insects per night, talk about pest control.

ถึง ShitJustGotReal4U : West Nile has shown up here occasionally since 2002. Western Canada has pretty hot summers, which probably helps a hot weather virus like that stick around. Thankfully it's still extremely rare here.

Dragonflies love eating them. The other night I watched a huge swarm of them flying in circles above me just before sunset... it was actually pretty cool.

Good advice indeed, Skeeters are a serious problem here on the east coast also, just recently had our first case of West Nile Virus pop up a few miles from my area, make sure you don't have any large objects obscuring the sun also as they will hang out in the shade to hide from the sun.
