  Ya know, I don't really mind the blood sucking part of mosquitoes. I don't like it, but that's their thing, so can't complain about that.

  It's the dang diseases and the itch from hell that comes with it. Why can't they just suck blood in peace?

    And the flying next to your ear when you try to sleep

    It’s a blood thinner. That itch comes because we are allergic to the blood thinner they inject so they can suck more easily.

    Some people claim to not get bitten by mosquitoes ever. That’s false, they are simply not allergic to the blood thinner and nothing shows up after the mosquitoes leave, so they don’t think they were bitten.

    I just returned from three weeks of mostly tent camping. Those assholes wouldn’t even let me close the tent door in the morning before landing on my legs.

  I have on several occasions left my uncovered leg as an offering for them so that they would stop zzzzZzzzZZzZing in my ear while I’m trying to sleep. They do it anyway. This is why we don’t negotiate with terrorists.

  Yes, someone thinks about the poor Malaria, Denge and other bacterias, also with a right of life?

    Terrible idea if you are serious i have had people seriously suggest trying to do this it would be terrible on the ecosystem that feeds on them and their eggs including for example already engendered amphibians and that’s just what we can predict.

      Wasn’t there a study recently that debunked the claim that mosquitoes were actually important?

    Literally climate change.

    pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7068582/

    Weather has a big impact on mosquito numbers & feeding behavior:

    • Cooler temperatures = more mosquitoes
    • Higher humidity = more mosquitoes
    • More rainfall = more mosquitoes (for some species)

    biologyinsights.com/at-what-temperature-are-mosqu…

    Climate is moving north, thus your area is likely getting wetter and more humid.

      Partially correct, mosquitos prefer warm humid environments with stagnant water to lay their eggs also they suck at flying so if it’s windy outside you won’t be bothered be many.
