Does it make me cruel if I enjoy punching them out of the air? ;D
No, it makes me a hero!

The war is going quite well on the Belgian front. I made more mosquito casualties in the past week than I did in the rest of the month. Keep our banners up! Hold your ground and smash those towels! The problem with this place is that you just can't get rid of them completely, there's too many of them. They'll just keep coming back. Thankfully, like I said my body has adapted to them. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Good to know you're being successful, keep it up! (I hope they didn't BUG you too much during your exams) ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ;D

The way to kill them when you're unarmed (by "armed" I'd mean "equipping" a can of raid) is by slapping them with both hands (a.k.a. "clapping" them). ;D

I declared war to all the huge nasty spiders that are coming out this time of year! As afraid as I am of them, if I can reach them in a proper way, they'll be smashed in the blink of an eye! ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png)
Update: I already killed 4 of them in the past week ![:'(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cry.png)

So we didn't have much mosquito since August... Instead, we had an invasion of wasps. ![](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w73/kiahiram/Angry.jpg) Some even made a nest at the entrance of the house's air-exchanger trap. ![:-[](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/embarrassed.png)

How do you deal with them? I'm so glad my neighborhood doesn't have so many of THOSE...

Raid (a quite nasty insecticide) is what did the trick for the nests we found... There was a stuff that was like foam and supposed to just block the entrance so they would be stuck in/out and would abandon the place, but it didn't work at least on the ground one. Whatever one tries though, it's better done at night with a flashlight pointing elsewhere. Usually we don't mind them around too much, but when they build nests they're aggressive around them and peaceful cohabitation isn't really an option. And those stings really hurt. ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png)

I guess I have one thing to look forward to in the cold of Winter. Go to ice hell you mosquitoes! ![:'(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cry.png) Still, I've managed to mostly avoid them lately. Only thing that got me was some sort of plant I guess I touched and gave me a rash (a bunch of itchy bumps that look like mosquito bites ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) ) on my hand, arm, side, surrounding stomach, back, and leg, and small areas on one heel, and the other arm. Yey. =_= And just from it touching my hand. >_> But its going away now. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Killerzzz

A few weeks ago there was a short documentary about a new (imported) plant causing rashes in Canada, abundant in a suburb of Quebec city; maybe you met it. ;D I can't remember the name. ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) It's a tall plant, with a big globe-like cluster of small white flowers.

Well, I'm not sure what got me. I was reaching into a pile of pulled weeds at the time, looking for something. Then I felt a little sting, and thought "ugg, that better not be poison ivy/oak/stinging mellow".
Well, it was none of those, so maybe it was your plant there. ;D

While showering I just found a dead mosquito...on my hand ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) What happened? Did I shower it to death and did it land on my hand? Or have I developed mosquito-poisoning blood?

My fellow soldiers! Brothers in arms! Brethren! Do not lay down thy weapons yet! I have been attacked twice this night. Our most gruesome enemies still holds position. Do not think the war is over yet! Pray for winter's coming but always remain vigilant in the meanwhile! Why didn't I take my chemical weapons with me on my student room ![:'(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cry.png) Aaaargh! *EDIT: I just made the first kill of the day! ...by hand ![>:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/angry.png)
