Mosquito Bait-That's Me!

[KittenLittle]

Help me!
Has anyone tried any of those mosquito killing devices such as Mosquito Deleto, Mosquito Magnet,etc.? They are all pretty pricey,but I have to do something. I am tired of having to rub on/spray on chemicals every time I JUST WANT TO GET THE MAIL!
I am the only one affected in my family-mosquitoes go out of their way to find me.I dump out standing water and spray the yard,but we have a heavily wooded yard that backs up to a golf course with a creek and water hazards. PLEASE post if you have any experience with these new gizmos!! Thanks!

Same here. My family tells me the skeeters like my sweet meat.

A Garlique pill a day will take care of the problem. Honest. But it needs to be Garlique and not a cheaper brand. You won't smell like garlic, I swear!

I will buy some this weekend and let you know if it works. If it works for ME, it should work for ANYONE!
Still need info on the gizmos, Thanks,all!

It will take a few days for it to work through your system. Be patient with it.

They eat me alive. I'll have to give that a try.

My dad says they come after me with a napkin around their necks and a fork and knife...they love me also. I read that it's the way you smell, like citris of or flowers that attract them. I'm not sure what keeps them away but I do know that when you get a real nasty bite, if you put a hot washcloth directly on the bite, it helps get rid of the venom and eases the itching. Can't wait for the summer.

I'm just glad they feast on me,and not on my DD. She is quite the drama queen-suffers great tragedy with every little cut or bruise. A bug bite would give her moaning material for days!!

I'll have to try this too. I am the same way, they love me and they'll ignore everyone in the house to come look for me. It drives me nuts.

Support group! Support group!
They are really terrible here,but the worst bites I ever got were way up North in beautiful Minnesota.Nasty!!
I am definitely going to try the Garlique.....

I had the same experience in Minnesota. I was told they are their state bird. LOL! We have a lot in Oklahoma, too.

The sun is out! No more rain in the forecast for at least a couple of days! Time to fog my forest!
Die you bloodsuckers!! I hate 'em!

i don't know anything about the devices but you might try keeping a hat by the door and spraying it with bug spray instead of yourself it works!!

Momsal,I will try it and the Garlique and report back!
The local home improvement stores are really pushing the gizmos and talk about West Nile a lot.
