Mosquito Eliminator

Mosquito Eliminator

Isn’t it funny when we know there is one mosquito or several mosquitos in the house and you can’t help but turn into the mosquito eliminator. I guess mosquitoes carry a lot of disease and when you hear them buzzing around with their high pitch radar you know they’re going have a piece of you.

No one likes to bitten, especially if you have a bad reaction towards bites. Recently I had a spate of mosquitoes to deal with in the house, I never saw them, or heard them, I just knew they were there from the welts they left behind. I was desperate it was going to call the mosquito eliminator or put my insect pest control skills into play

Sometimes the mosquito would bite when I’m sleeping, or after my shower, but most of the time when I’m outdoors watering my patio garden.
Figuring out where the mosquitoes are coming from is a real dilemma, because they usually live near stagnant water, and there were no signs of water around the house. To the best of my knowledge the taps don’t leak, yet they’re still breeding somewhere very close.

To my horror when I was putting the clothes in the machine I saw one emerge from under the washing machine, and sure enough, the washing machine had a wet patch under it, which is of course is a nice cool dark place for them to breed.

Having found their hide out, I just had to figure out how I was going to rid the machine of mosquitoes without disturbing them. So now I am going to have to make sure I regularly lift (yeah right) the washing machine to clean under it.

Despite my hatred of insecticides I think I will use my mosquito eliminator techniques and grab the mosquito repellent, and spray underneath the washing machine. Although I felt a little fumigated at least I can be in the house without feeling like I am the main course for mosquitos.

Insect Pest Control

Insect Pest Control

I know it’s not a good idea to kill insects but some insects can be annoying, for instance flies they buzz around you until they become such a pest they leave you with no option but to use any measure of insect pest control to rid them from your vicinity.

I guess they don’t call them household pest for nothing, seriously why do flies have to be so stupid? This morning I was in a great mood, I was minding my own business, and I certainly wasn’t in the way of insects going about their business.

So why did this fly want to be my best friend, it wouldn’t leave me alone.Yuck, the fly kept landing on my legs and tickling me, and every time I shooed it away it would simply land on my computer, or my coffee cup, and then back on me again. It even buzzed my face. This was it, it was time to put my insect pest control system into play.

Now any normal person would’ve got the fly spray out and sprayed it, but I thought I’d be kind and open the window to let it out. That didn’t work, the sudden gust of breeze couldn’t have been enough of a hint for the fly don’t you think!

So next I tried shoeing it towards the window using my arms, I am sure the fly was laughing at me, as I flapped my arms around the room like a maniac. Humph, still the fly was buzzing around me.

I really needed to shake this fly and I had one or two insect pest control techniques left before I would zap it with the fly spray. Patiently I waited on the sofa and eventually it settled on the inside of the glass so I cupped my hand around it and encourage it to move towards the opening. Unfortunately the fly had other ideas and I kind of squished underneath my palm. Hmm sad but true, but at least it’s not going to bother me.
