Talk about agony! Just the other night, i was once AGAIN deprived from my beauty sleep by those darn blood suckers. You might say i am making a big wussy fuss out of it. Everyone gets mosquitoes attacks once in a while.
You gotta understand, oftentimes Mr. Insomnia will pay me a visit. So i am generally lack of sleep *he always left me too reckless. Maybe 1 or 2 weeks in a month i’ll be mostly sleepless. Annoying but livable. But in rare occasions whereby Mr. Insomnia decides to leave me, i get ambushed by those pesky lil’ mosquitoes. When i say ambush, i’m not kidding. There were more than enough to leave me awake for few nights already. My house doesn’t have air-conditioning so it’s even more worst.
I had already sprayed my whole room with >aerosol insecticide (Shieldtox) 3 times a day for the few consecutive days. It didn’t help. Change to another stronger brand (like Ridsect) you say? Nope. I don’t think it would make any difference since i sprayed using this brand for 3 fringgin’ times already. Eventually, those pesky things seems to come back… from nowhere.
I could not begin to understand why had god created such nasty awful creatures! I don’t care bout those ecological shit so just don’t start with me. *yes. it’s already to THAT extend!
So, i did what was the most logical thing a girl in distress would do. I went on a crazy extermination spree!
I spent half of the today (first half was me, miserably trying to get some shuteye) in my room searching for possible cracks/holes i thought might be accessible. Masking tapes served to be handy. I taped all the cracks and holes with it.
Next, i sprayed my room with Sheildtox again. Even the taped cracks i sprayed. Despite the intense toxic smell, I actually stood in my room after i had done to watch those blood suckers fall dead *yeah i’m a psycho. So what. Determined to let everyone know i am not exaggerating, i collected the mosquitoes remains on a piece of newspaper. O_o Guess how many i killed? 16!! That’s just from the floor alright. Not including those i missed out or those that might still be on top of the cupboard or something.
I smacked a whole lot of them in the bathroom while showering. I killed few in the loo.
Next, i surfed *the net. The best way into an enemy’s territory is to know them well, no?
I had no idea there were so many types of repellents. There were the normal household repellents like aerosol, anti-mosquito coil, and mosquito killer lamp.
Then there’s the mosquito killer bat that looks remotely like a tennis racquet. Sellers in pasar malam will guarantee its effective. Don’t be fooled. The ‘net’ is actually electric rods. You’re to swing the bat at mosquitos to zap them. Frying – up mosquitoes i like, having to chase after them all the time like a twit i don’t like. I used to have one of this. *so tiring swinging at tiny winny mosquitos i could barely see. Went to the rubbish bin just a few weeks after.

I also found out mosquito repellants comes in patches… as like those body stick-on diet patches. But instead of body, you have to stick to the clothes your wearing. The patch also emits a smell which drive away those blood suckers. So imagine yourself as a walking, talking, human repellant that smells *um… not a good idea.

Among all, was the garlic made repellant. Yes, GARLIC. It’s a strong liquid made of garlic cloves! Apparently garlic juice is a very effective and natural insect repellant. Ok ok, i guess everybody knows that already. Well, i didn’t know and how i haven’t seen any on sale?? I want these!
Tonight i am going to lavish on garlics *does it work that way?. Tomorrow i’m getting the frequency-insect repellant…

Sorry for my crazy ranting on mosquitoes. I’m going insane. I really hate them.
