They skitter in the dark places Man seldom goes. Tunnelling through the very Earth beneath your feet, or soaring unseen towards you on wax paper wings. They bite, sting, spit acid and secret toxins unmatched in any science lab. They have ruled this ball of mud we call Earth for millenia before the rise of man, and will nest in the bones of our civilization long after we are the shadow of a memory.
BUGS. God I hate Bugs.
Ticks, Roaches, Wasps, Hornets and…. MOSQUITOS. Hailed as the Provincial bird of Manitoba by some, they certainly get big enough up North, the Mosquito holds a particular spot in my rogue’s gallery of Pests and Parasites. Perhaps because I seem to be irresistible to it. My entire life I’ve been sought out, HUNTED it seems by these winged blood-suckers. My entire life consisits of memoriesof Summers ruined – being the only person jumping, slapping within a cloud of the creatures while my friends and family lounged comfortably near by.
For whatever reason in the eyes of a Mosquito – I’m Filet and you’re all Spam.
I’ve tried Deet and Camomile, even electronic Mosquito barriers.
What works for you? Any passed down or Family mozzy deterrents to share? Below you’ll find links to some common repellant, I find fire works well but can have some less than desirable ramifications…
