kuchitsu Posted August 5, 2016 There is one mosquito somewhere in my room. I wanna smash it before going to sleep. Of course the fucker is hiding ATM. Is there a fast way to find it? 0 Share this post Link to post
Obsidian Posted August 5, 2016 Listen carefully, I guess. On a slightly more serious note, citronella tends to keep them away from you. Maybe invest in some of that. 0 Share this post Link to post

Nine Inch Heels Posted August 5, 2016 Make sure to scare it away from surfaces on which it is hard to see, like darker pillows and whatnot. Check the walls, use one light source only, otherwise you're likely to over look its small shadow when it flies. Other than that, listen carefully, as has been said already. The more you force it to move, the more likely you will spot it. TraceOfSpades said:Leave out a bowl of sugar water and it'll fly to it eventually. That does essentially nothing, because mosquitos don't actively "look" for sugar. 0 Share this post Link to post
Voros Posted August 5, 2016 1: take a chair in the middle of the room. 2. Wear shorts and sleeveless shirt. 3. Sit and don't move. 4. The mosquito will come. 5. When it appears, let it land on your flesh, WHACK! 0 Share this post Link to post

Gez Posted August 5, 2016 Sure Bowb said:That does essentially nothing, because mosquitos don't actively "look" for sugar. Yeah, they look for blood of mammals. Things that attract mosquitoes: - carbon dioxide (breath) - body odor (especially from the feet for some species) Things that don't attract them: - sugar (they're not wasps) - light (they're not moths) If you want to attract mosquitoes into a trap, you're better off using stinky cheese than sugary anything. Also slathering yourself in citronella doesn't work too well, it only lasts for a couple hours. 0 Share this post Link to post
deadwolves Posted August 5, 2016 Spray a deodorant can everywhere, then when you see it, hit the sucker head on. That usually stuns it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jello Posted August 5, 2016 This thread has been going on long enough. DID YOU FIND THE MOSQUITO? THE MASSES MUST KNOW! The suspense is killing me. 0 Share this post Link to post

kuchitsu Posted August 6, 2016 Yeah, I killed that bastard but today there are more. One already dead and there is at least one more still hiding somewhere. Currently I just do the usual stuff on my computer and wait for the mosquito to appear between my eyes and the monitor (that's when it's really really easy to spot it). Somehow most of the time I can't find it by just going around the room and looking everywhere. I tried using a blanket to make some wind and hopefully make it fly but no luck so far. I dunno, I used to be more calm about this stuff in childhood but nowadays they somehow piss me off a lot more. And they seem much more clever than in the past. Maybe I will try that cheese thing. 0 Share this post Link to post
Voros Posted August 6, 2016 Get a fucking electric mosquito bat. Spray the room to oblivion. Sleep somewhere else Im serrious about the bat. 0 Share this post Link to post
RTC_Marine Posted August 6, 2016 Nuke the entire site from orbit Honestly just close the doors and windows then gas the room with bug spray and leave it for an hour before airing it out, I found that to be the best option and it will kill any other lurking bugs in the room as well. 0 Share this post Link to post
