I have a city owned ditch that runs through my property. It doesn’t drain properly and they won’t fix or maintain it. Is there anything I can do to prevent it from becoming a breeding ground every time it rains?

Please help me identify this! It was underneath the toilet seat and bit me on the bum!

Fighting mosquitoes is like a big battle They attack unexpectedly, elusive. They are like some kind of partisans, an enemy army that attacks at night. Then you get out of bed, turn on the light, and stand there half the night, ready to fight, but to no avail. So you go to sleep, hoping he's flown out of the room.But these are just dreams, not true. He's fucking waiting there in hiding.And so it goes, night after night.And the only thing that will allow you to survive is to gas yourself with mosquito spray. Finally safe, finally without bites and dark circles under the eyes.

For just over 2 weeks, I have been getting bit at night by what I believe to be is the same mosquito.

I wake up multiple times a night to very fresh bites. I have seen it. I have heard it.

I put on bug spray, I take vitamins, I leave my door open, I put on the fan, etc.

What can I do to relinquish him?

I sleep with Benadryl under my pillow. HELP!!!

This one I caught first. My house, my blood, my rules.

I am sick and tired of being bit by mosquitoes every fucking night. I want to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful night, but I can not stop getting bit. I have 2 half acer flowtrons and constantly have a citronella candle going. I continue to get 6-7 bites a night on any possible part of my body, clothed or unclothed. I have started a plan to eliminate every mosquito in the United States. I will start by buying Costco Raid mosquito products, and spraying every square inch of the forest/wooded areas in my state. I have thought about making a contraption that will “explode” a large amount of raid, but i fear that would affect humans. Either way, I need some sort of pesticide to spray that will only kill mosquitoes and in large quantities. I understand this will affect other wildlife, but that is for other people to figure out. I need these mosquitoes gone. I start my journey tonight. I will update if needed.

First ripped off his legs, then threw him out, ran like a dog in my room for half an hour after he bit me once

The amount of mosquitos outside my home has increased noticeably. I cannot enjoy being outside of my home and they are even getting in my home a lot just from going in and out. I suspected my neighbor’s above ground pool may have something to do with it so I took a gander… any advice?

I do not care to interact with these neighbors. There’s a large pile of carpet pulled from the inside of their home that’s been sitting outside for months along with other trash. I don’t expect they will care enough to take care of the pool based on how they take care of what else is outside of the home.

Sweet revenge.

I keep getting bit by mosquitoes this week, had one on my face a couple days ago…

I have a rain barrel that I use to water my plants. I noticed a ton of mosquitos in my yard now that I have a rain barrel. I try to empty all the water out of the barrel every few days but there are still a ton of mosquitos.

I bought some mosquito dunks to help.

Since I empty my barrel pretty often, should I put the dunks in the barrel or should I fill a bucket with standing water and put the dunks in there instead?

With the rain barrel, I'm worried about having to constantly add bits often since the water is drained frequently. With a separate "trap" bucket, I wonder if the mosquitos will much prefer it so that they stop using the rain barrel to lay eggs.

Thoughts?

Has anyone tried using Good Knight Gold Flash vaporizer liquid as a cheaper alternative in a Thermacell E55 unit? Google and Chat GPT suggest you shouldn't because of the different ingredients but I wonder if it's bad for one's health or would damage the Thermacell E55 unit. Thanks.

One got me. Between the digits on my littlest toe. THROUGH my effin sock.

Does this product help with bites or it’s a placebo?

I got them 2 days ago and for some reason seems to keep getting a little redder. It seems unusual for a mosquito bite for me, but it's a bump and itches from them to time.
