For those saying the mosquito is a vital part of the food chain...........there are plenty of flying insects to take their place, chain wouldn't be broken.

Red wasps. Those suckers are mean and will sting out of spite. The paper wasps won’t bother you much, but good luck if you accidentally disturb a nest. Dirt daubers are great and should be kept as pets.

My poor wife is like a mosquito magnet. I just taste too old and bitter to them. That or they somehow can tell my blood is about as thin as water. Either way, they leave me alone.

Mosquitoes and it’s not even remotely close for me. I don’t give a shite about roaches. We don’t really have them in our house. Wasps, meh. I get stung a couple times a year and it doesn’t bother me but once I go nuclear on them with some spray, they’re done for the year. Mosquitoes make bing outside at my house fricking miserable. The buzzing around my ears and the itching around my ankles at night. frick a mosquito.

Mosquito

It's a quality of life, thing.

If you don't want fleas, don't have dogs. Plus, done correctly, you can really manage fleas for the most part.

Roaches are an annoyance, but again, a little work here and there can minimize them.

I get that wasps are stingers, don't add value like honeybees, and can be very aggressive and persistent.

But, frick skeeters. Kill them all.

Well, that does it. This baw has never seen it, so it doesn't happen. The mosquito must go.
