* bug zapper

One of my favorite memories as a kid was sitting on the porch with gramps while the zapper wrecked house. Every now and then a lizard would get in there and the fireworks....and smoke....would steal the show. Good times.

I spray my yard , hang the spartan tube's and light the green coils and have the rechargeable replant things i can't remember the name and if I have guest,party I have kerosene torches around the pool area that has the replant in the fuel.
I hate the little bastards

I noticed yesterday they’ve started back up. Waiting for the termite swarms after the next rain.



I cut my grass today and this was the first time I have been bothered by them this year. Makes no sense because it was cool and dry here today.

Sounds like you should move somewhere that doesn't have mosquitoes


Personally I like moving to the screen porch

I do believe the OP was going for a long winded breathless rant.

Just sprinkle rosemary leaves on your barbecue or whatever food you're eating outdoors during mosquito season, also wear lavender scented cologne. Mosquitos hate these scents and will leave the area

I read that your blood type has a lot to do if mosquitoes harass you or not. O- is supposedly the worst.

Funny thing, it was always me who didn’t get bitten much and she who got mauled. Then about ten years ago it switched, stayed that way for about three years before returning to the way God meant it to be. Weird.

I love when after a long shitty day at work and a few hours of chores and stress at home you finally get to relax and your kids stop screaming and you crack a beer outside in peace in beautiful spring weather and just as you finally start to decompress and calm down for the first time all day they come over and nuzzle you and steal that moment from you that you didn’t deserve anyway and you get fun scratchy bumps to remind you of the theft of that moment for a few days.


Can anyone diagram that paragraph of a sentence?

I know I can be bad too, but damn.

They are truly awesome. The have honing beacons on me and can find me from miles away. I don't know what I'd do without them

Special mention to gnats who are kind enough to swarm your face and go into your eyes nose and ears relentlessly. Such a nice feeling that never let's up while your sweating it out in 100 degree heat doing yard work.

At least with gnats you can cut a hole in your britches to get them out of your face
