mosquito magnet

I don't know about you, but I'm a mosquito magnet

I was using the spray on the left and the one time I missed an area, I got bit

Another thing kinda junk about this spray is that it has powder in it, so sometimes I have this white line, going down my arm, leg...

And then I started thinking about the environment, that maybe I shouldn't use too many aerosols...

So after that can was used up, I bought the spray on the right

The junk thing about this spray though is that you have to "spread" the sprayed liquid out, to cover areas...I didn't know this and got bit in areas that the spray didn't hit...boo!

So, after this bottle gets used up, I'm either gonna go back to the one on the left, or find a different aerosol spray without powder.

do you get bitten while you're outside doing your daily routine or more around your apartment? curious because Manoa used to have so many mosquitos and not so much now. I wonder if climate change, or the several lily bowls with guppies and other small fish i have around the house help.

Wow I didn't know there were so many mosquitos in Japan. I too notice a lessening of them here. Like you, I smell good to them too. The problem is I've developed an allergy to their bites that any bites continue to itch and burn for 3 weeks later or unless I scratch so much it bleeds. It's very annoying. -N

Owee...N! I heard if you ice the bite it should stop itching, I also slap my bites, so not to scratch too much...take care! Kat

mosquito magnet me too. I just make sure that I'm covered in long pants/sleeves when outside during summer months, especially if I haven't yet started a mosquito punk going. I think I must go through at least 200+ coils the whole season.
