mosquitos.

I'm in the same boat. I actually bought deep woods Off to get a good night of sleep earlier this week. What is the deal with them? I've never had this problem before. It is weird!

Call 311! wait.... you can't. Its the mayor's creation. :roll:

They've gotten me 6 or 7 times since i moved in my new place a week ago right by Cafe Shane. I guess this should get us more excited for the temperature to drop and winter to begin.

Subject: got busloads of them over on lincoln and washington.

thought it was just the standing water on my roof. eating me and the toddler alive!

i gotten bitten at my building a few times i think its coming from the foundation part of the condons that are being built. damn water borne pest.

i was rudely awaked by a HUGE buzzing in my ear at like 4am earlier this week. scared the bejesus out of me. it wasn't an angry fly, but actually sounded more like a bumble bee, or since you are have skeeter probs, come to think of it, it was probably just one of those ginormous mosquitos! why on EARTH are they still out???? with this october deep freeze coming though, maybe they will all go away, but it seems as if theyve decided to take refuge in our apartments, which sucks!

Funny, we thought it was just us. The other half is really upset because several nights over the past three weeks, he's been bitten so badly that its woken him up. I on the other hand have been "relatively" bite free. His solution has been to turn on the AC and crank it up as high as it will go to freeze them out of the bedroom.

It's lasted so long that we too thought it might be bedbugs, but then I spotted one mosquito in the bathroom and another in the kitchen.

Exactly. My God, that noise! I hate that noise they make in your ear. One of the worst sounds in the world. I would prefer to hear cats in heat for days.

yup, same situation. we igot ourselves in a mosquito net for over the bed. they really seem to like attacking sleeping victims... but the net's been working out pretty well.

I so hope the frost comes soon!

Lying in bed last night I had one buzzing over my head, like a circling vulture. Sucks knowing that as soon as you fall asleep, they'll descend on whatever part of your flesh is outside the covers. I woke up this morning with a big bite on my face. :x

Whatever variety of mosquito lives here in this area seems to leave really BIG welts, too. They last a long time.

I too have noticed the mosquitos. Have a nasty bite on my back right now in fact. This has forced me to close my window at night and I love sleeping with the cool air coming in. Perhaps for whatever reason we are having a bad mosquito season in the area. I was over at a friend's house in Sunset Park a couple of weeks ago and got tore up by them there too.

And for the person who asked about bedbugs, these are definitely mosquitos. I checked the bed to make sure there weren't any insects coming from below. (And for the record, I know bedbugs do exist but I think news-driven paranoia has started to blow them out of proportion.)

We had mosquitoes so hard-core this summer that we basically abandoned the back yard. I couldn't even water the lawn without garnering a dozen bites. I searched everywhere for standing water, but many friends complained of the same thing, and a girlfriend of mine said that she had read somewhere that this year would be horrible for mosquitoes because of global warming, so we eventually chalked it up to that (you can blame a lot on global warming).

And they just didn't seem to be leaving. Although, apparently now that some cold weather is upon us, they are all moving inside!

Subject: Bed Bugs vs Misquitos vs The NY Times

Oh thank g-d you guys also have misquitos. I've been bitten all over and I swear I have seen at laest one flying around my apartment.

My father called me today to say the front cover of the real estate section of the NY Times today was: Everything you wanted to know about bed bugs and were afraid to ask.

I secretly thought I had bed bugs, but I don't know. I have seen misquitos around and these bites are very misquito-esque.

What's the deal? Global warming somehow? They think it's August still?

skeeters love heat. just open all the windows and kill em with cold.
