Nice killstreak you got there. Too bad if something came to ruin your concentration, eh?

I am a magnet for midges and mosquito's. Can;t go fishing because of them

Mosquitos are stealth builds, they try NOT to ruin your concentration in order to succ

You notice their presence but it's exceptionally difficult to track them and then they hide and wait out evasion phase. I swear they have some tactical flight pattern that breaks your eye lock on them. It is so fucking frustrating.

Have any anons had success with mosquito traps?

I do the yeast/CO2 and cider traps but they're only moderately successful at best.

Use yourself as bait. Sit in a small, well-lit room during early morning hours, when the mosquitos are active. They'll fly into the room. Close the door, trapping them in a room where it's easy for you to spot them and impossible for them to escape. Then kill them.

>>715797327 (OP)
Wouldn't be a problem if you just left those spiders and house centipedes alone ;)

>a room where it's easy for you to spot them
If I had personally designed this apartment from the ground up there might be a room like that but as it stands there is far too much furniture. That being said, I have observed certain patterns in the surfaces mosquitoes like to rest on: they prefer flat wide surfaces and a decent distance from the ground, so they do not hide in the theoretically best spots for them. Maximising the surface area you can easily see when looking around, avoiding obstructions is key.

When I hear about how Europeans don't get A/C and have their houses full of mosquitos I'm glad I'm an American despite the other issues in this country.

Both are pollinators

Don't be a retard

>>715806880
Other species will simply use the increased opportunities.

>>715806880
>t. mosquito

"However, the extent of their contribution to pollination is generally considered limited. Most plant species visited by mosquitoes rely on multiple pollinators, and mosquitoes are not typically the primary pollinators for most plants. Furthermore, while some studies suggest that mosquitoes may play a role in pollination, the overall impact is often minimal compared to other pollinators."

>>715807175
Pollinator networks are extremely tight-knit and don't offer a lot of leeway when a species involved in it disappears. Yes, many plants are generalists and do receive pollination from many different species, but you'd be hard pressed to find a network entirely devoid of specialists, and that does include many fly species. On an individual basis, yeah, flies are horribly inefficient pollinators, but they make up for this with their extreme numbers. This makes them, as an order, the second most important pollinator group on the planet only behind bees. That said, mosquitoes don't have a lot to do with that. Their (extremely important) role is to redistribute protein from the top of the food chain back down as an adult, and to feed many species of aquatic animals as a larvae.

do mosquitos make a lot of noise? we don't have them in bongland

Overhyped. Even the stupid asshole exterminator who I thought knew nothing managed to get rid of them in a month or so. And before you say anything, this was three years ago so I'm pretty confident about it.

>do mosquitos make a lot of noise
They make a noise that is very noticeable in silence but can be drowned out by anything else. That's why they are very annoying when you are trying to go to sleep but you can't notice them at all when you're outside unless they fly right by your ear.

>>715808154
This is because they go to sleep in the light. Mosquitoes in my room get a fucked up reversed sleep schedule just like me.
I think most flies have a light-based activity system like this. Bees however are different and use a mix of light and internal clock, specifically they fall asleep immediately in darkness but then eventually wake up at a roughly scripted time. I noticed this because a lot of bees also come to sleep in my room for some reason(they fly towards my bed and then go missing, I theorise they fly under it and fall asleep in the shade) and they consistently wake up in the later morning hours, between 9 to 11 usually, regardless of it being dark. I've been woken up by bees crawling on my face but fortunately they are very docile and lazy when they are tired, and when I open the window they make a beeline out immediately.

I remember finding a bigass moth and letting it walk around on my arm once.
Then I got a terrible alergic reaction a few hours later. Now I just have to settle on watching them from afar

How the fuck did these zipperhead mosquitos become so dominant fucking everywhere? Are native mosquitos extinct at this point?

They don't make a lot of noise, that's why they make sure to get right up to your ear.
