I simply cannot go to sleep if I know there is a mosquito in the bedroom apt to bite me in my sleep. No matter the hour, how much sleep Iv'e lost, or how early I have to get up the next day and how busy it might be, I must dispatch the bugger before falling off to sleep.
Just wondering how many of my fellow C-D members are like minded, or could go to sleep under the circumstances. A poll is included if you would be so kind as to vote...
A. The Mosquito Must Die!!!....
B. Sleep is more important, I'll risk the bite...
Neither.. bring out your pop up mosquito netting for your bed. Can find it on amazon. Best thing ever.
Boy oh boy, you guys are taking me back. Spent my first 23 years in Ohio and I remember that dreaded buzzing in my ear during the summer. Moved to Los Angeles and I haven't heard the buzz for 43 years.

Sounds like a great idea for folks with a persistent long term problem. Unless the netting is super easy to set up and break down/store, it might be too much of a thing to deal with/have in room for folks with the occasional mosquito problem, also if someone has claustrophobia issues, that might be a problem with the netting as well.
Okay, trying to keep this about psychology. Mosquitoes have existed for 100 million years. That means they were around since we were still living in the trees. You'd think that we'd have totally adapted to them by now, yet many of us still find them unbearable. And they still love sucking on us.
Either we've gone soft (which clearly we have) or they've changed and gotten nastier. I suspect that our resistance and resilience have diminished as a result of indoor living. Time to start sleeping out of doors again.

Haha, don't move to Florida. An occasional mosquito room mate is very common. Besides, they only bite you one time during the night.
Step one. Go in the bathroom and apply mosquito repellent.
Step two. Go back to bed and sleep well.
Step three. Ignore the complaints in the morning by my wife about how she was bitten during the night.
Is the wife not asleep? If so:
Step one. Go in the bathroom and apply mosquito repellent. Have the wife do the same.
Step two. It is hero time. Hunt the evil so that my wife can sleep.
Step three. Go to bed and sleep well.
A question. Has anyone ever found a mosquito in a spider web? For me, never. Do mosquitos have a natural ability to avoid spider webs?

Sooooooo, tooth decay, poor eyesight, broken bones, and horrible diseases also existed long ago. We have gone soft and should not bother with prescription glasses, surgery, or vaccines. Yeah, right.
We have adapted to mosquitoes. We haven't adapted to diseases carried by mosquitoes because bacteria and virii evolve quickly, unlike men and mosquitoes.
The buzzing would annoy me. I'm not going to go out of my way at night to kill it unless it bites me.
