OT: mosquitos

We have them really bad here in rural Ohio along the Ohio-Erie c****. Over the weekend we had a lot of people over and tried a new deterrent: dryer sheets. Just rub one of those fabric softener sheets all over your skin that is exposed and then tie it on your belt loop. It actually worked! I guess the little ******s don't like the sweet smell and film it leaves behind on your skin. Good luck!

 

Ok, we posted that at like the same exact moment it must be the new national remedy!

 

Back home in Corpus Christi, TX and all along the Texas Gulf Coast, the mosquitos cast shadows and sometimes prey on small animals and children.

 

Don't you guys have blood ****ing parasites of another kind?

 

Maybe it was the years of constant exposure to grease, motor oil, and misc. petroleum products that did that. These items have been proven to cause cancers.

 

Go visit Alaska during the summer.
I doubt you'll even notice yer little *****er's once you return!

 

***** Your wife will give ya' mouth to mouth .

 

Sounds like a lot of good ideas here. Txhrcor, I'm in CC. Anywhere around the coast is really bad right now. The guys on the drilling rigs on So Texas ranches tell me they don't have them near as bad as here. I just got back from taking my pointer to the vet($120 bucks) and he said this is the worst year he can remember for fleas and mosquitos and I've been taking my dogs to him for twenty years. Here the mosquitos also carry heart worms that attack and destroy the dogs heart, real pleasant stuff, so we have to give them medicine once a month. I plan on hunting this year so I wanted to get the ole hound all tuned up.

 

First liar doesn't have a chance around here!!!! BUT, they are so big around here the FAA has to license them. Their humming is so loud, there's a city ordance against the noise. They're so plentiful at night, you can't even see the moon or stars. When 20 or more congregate, because of the wind their wings make, they put out tornado warnings. Nothing beats wearing a scubba suit for keeping them off.

The bounce fabric softner sheets do work well, also put them in your ride this winter to keep the mice away. (If you're not going to be driving)

 

try buringsome old tires or runing that old fill the oil check the gas chevy
they dont like smoke

 

We have a cottage by a lake up in Maine and they are so big up there we call them moosequitos!

 

Dryer sheets work well as mouse repellent in visors and tucked into seats or trunk area. Smells way better than moth balls when storing your cars.
Fortunately in Mn. its been dry and mosquitoes haven't been bad this year in my area. Smudge pots and foggers work well.

 

a big stinky cigar works wonders at keeping the *******s at bay

 

Apply a heavy dose of dehydrated garlic to the lawn, then water it in. Use a few applications and it should help. Also, try planting some garlic in all the flowerbeds ya have, this fall. That will help next hear. Not to mention, you can yank it, and the wifey can cook with it.................

 

A few years ago I was driving a Subaru Brat downeast when it started slowing down and finally just stopped in the middle of the road. The engine seemed to be running ok but the little truck just wouldn't go. I took it out of gear, got out to see what was going on. Turns out a mosquito was sitting on the tailgate and dragging a couple of its feet. After hitting it a couple or three times with a tire iron it finally flew away....Seriously though all *****ers are local. They don't fly very long distances and rarely travel more than 100 yards from where they hatch. We've been sort of lucky this year in that its been very dry. Unfortunately we've been inundated by other blood****ers in the mosquito's absence, mainly deerflys, horseflys and lawyers.

 

dragging a couple of it's feet! I think NC is fixin to get it's share of rain if I read the reports right. OH yes, it's hurricane season, OH boy!
