    I'm used to mosquitoes having lived in tropical areas before, but they're still a menace.

    I fail to see how they contribute ecologically.

    I water/Sprinkler my lawn every night, suck it water conservation. I've been dealing with them all year, but now they're out in full force. Hopefully the front on Thursday pushes them to Mexico.

    Don't come at me Swoly!

    The mosquitos were outrageous today. I got swarmed so bad walking my dogs, I though somebody was ****ing with me. Sweet Lord, I hope they all freeze before Halloween, I'm wearing a kilt!

    Can't walk the dog without 3 of them circling over my head at all time. Had bug spray all over me yesterday and they just bite me through the shirt/socks.

    Please eradicate these mother****ers.

    I thought there was an experiment done by scientists to try to have a mosquito gene passed on so wingless female mosquitoes would be produced.

    Even in hell drought Austin those ****ing tiger mosquitoes will eat you up. When you're moving though it's cool you can keep away from them -- it's been a while since I experienced hoards that would follow you when you were walking around.

    mosquitoes are no joke, while at the drive thru for my 7th mcrib today, them b****es were waiting for me to roll down my window... i am guilty of making myself so delicious as a result of consuming the mcribs, but damn... i seriously thought about passing up the drive through and walking a short distance for food... can you imagine?

    i had to move some light furniture out the house. there was no way we could carry the stuff TO the car without be attacked. so i backed it up onto the yard and got as close to the front door as possible. still, we sprayed the front area with half a can of bug spray just to make it tolerable for us to move the stuff 5 feet.

    that rain a couple of weeks ago was a curse in disguise. I got bit like 5 or 6 times bringing in groceries. I later found a smeared black dead mosquito body and my blood on the side of my leg that I must've smashed when I was scratching without noticing.

    Played Hermann Park on Friday and we literally couldn't stop the cart for 5 seconds without getting completely swarmed.

    A little advice for you guys - Mosquitoes are attracted to dark colored clothing, and they also locate you by smell. So any scented products, like cologne, hair gel, etc, is gonna attract them more.
    Also, get one of those off clip-ons and spray your arms and legs with off as well.

    Annoying little sh!ts. I sprayed my entire body with bug spray and they still bit me in my fingers and face.
