The evil mosquitoes attack me, but I found the solution. Those blood-suckers are as hard to fight as the Christians. I live on the waterfront here in the South Carolina swamps of Charleston. But, you can sit in my HOT (at the moment) yard and hardly be bothered by biting insects. About 40' up the big oak tree that dominates my front yard are four big bathouses so stuffed with sleeping bats in the light of day there are bats hanging out the bottom of the boxes sleeping attached to the bats above by a toenail. How the bats halfway up the inside of the boxes even breathe, much less tolerate the 106F heat under my oak tree before the thunderstorms today, is another religious mystery. At a few minutes before dusk, magic happens in my yard as hundreds of tiny bats awaken, all at once, and drop out the open bottom of the houses from the blackness inside to start another night of rounding up every insect that dares venture to fly in the sonar-intense bat-guarded perimeter of my yard, probably a couple of miles, or more. If you are standing near the tree when the hoard come alive, it's just aweinspiring to see and the neighborhood kids never cease to be fascinated by it. The bats will come within a hair of touching you, so close you feel them passing in the darkness, but their excellent sonar ranging keeps them from bumping you in the darkness, at first quite disturbing, especially to the superstitious religionists who know about it. They get positively creepy over bats. ONE little bat can eat 10,000 flying mosquitoes in an 8 hour hunting night, along with a million other tiny bugs flying in the darkness. My bats are so good at what they do, I do not need a yellow porch light to keep the bugs away. No chemicals, no electric bug zappers, just the Boys in Black scanning the night. We DO, however,havea backup system in place that's also quite successful. That white light that runs all night (electronic flourescent - 36W) does attract large millers and moths to it the bats seem to ignore at times. No problemo! My other squadron of green tree frogs spend their days wedged up into the spaces around that light sleeping, waiting for the feed store to open up of the aforementioned moths. They sit there, stuck to the light, the wall, the frame of the door, all nearby the light, with that long, amazingly fast tongue, flicking and sticking the moths right out of the sky! You simply see them disappear as that tongue is too fast for the human eye without the aid of high speed cameras to see. Now if I could just get the both of them interested in MASSIVE PALMETTO BUGS, the giant roaches we breed by the billions running 40mph across the patio the size of a size 16 Nike sneaker....THAT would be neat! --http://www.goveg.com/feat/agriprocessors/responseToOUStatement.asp Watch the FULL video. I dare ya! Shechitah barbarians! Larry One of mysteries of the Universe is "Why the hell God created the mosquitoes?" But then you remind me that he was clever enough to give us the bats. I have solved my problem though by a very mundane method. Very powerful blowing faster that they can fly. It's not a miracle per se, but it works like one. I was reading all other remedies (other than DEET) barely work, including citronella. Adam & Eve must have had a hard time with the mosquitoes on their naked bodies, unless they had a secret that we don't know. |

"His Highness the TibetanMonkey, Creator of the Movement of Tantra-Hammock" I do believe "Highness" might be the operative word there... C-: You may call it "levitation," except for the fact that I'm suspended by two straps. Other than that I consider myself as high as ANY human being out there. But my wisdom is perhaps a little bit deeper based on actual observation of animal behavior. It's amazing what you can learn! For example, the lovely birds are afraid of the lazy cat. The cat itself is nice, but his very presence scares my winged friends, and that's no good. Sometimes my girlfriend feeds him milk, and I have been mildly opposed to it. But someday I may decide to kick the cat just to restore the balance of nature. I just wished someone could do the same with our predatory drivers, so I could come out and ride my bike. But there's no one watching over that. |

Adam & Eve musthavehad a hard time with the mosquitoes on their naked bodies, unless they had a secret that we don't know. Blind, mosquitoes detect you with two physical properties. You're warm, theyhavea thermometer. You emit a cloud of stinky sweat from your body's evaporative air conditioning system out there in the heat. Ever notice how much more you get bit when it's warm? You sweat more and make detection much easier. If the wind is blowing, the misquitoes come at you from the lee side as the wind blows your heat/moisture cloud away from you. In calm, the cloud goes nearly straight up for a long ways. Mosquitoes simply fly around scanning the area for an animal target meeting the criteria and follow the cloud to the target. Evolutionary genius, not some imaginary friend of the Pope. Anything you do to screw up the cloud's parameters, like put on a "repellant", which clouds the moisture in the cloud with oils and chemicals to help prevent detection by overhead bugs, slows them down, but they adapt quite well. A big blower blowing the cloud and mixing it with the air prevents detection. Now, some smart humanshavecome up with a fake animal running on electric and propane that lures the mosquito into a fan trap with heat, from a propane burner, and moisture. The bugs see a huge target that must be a dinosaur on the patio and go buzzing off to eat lunch, only to find a fan sucks them into a bag at the "target". That thing will clean a yard for the party in about an hour after first firing it up. Works great and the bugshaveNO DEFENSES for it as it mimics the primary target perfectly. The propane trap also emits CO2, further mimicing the target animals. The electric ones don't and don't work as well because of it. The bugs can detect CO2 near the target for "target verification". http://www.consumersearch.com/mosquito-traps Pricey....and a little pricey to operate, but NO BUGS CAN BE WORTH IT! --http://www.goveg.com/feat/agriprocessors/responseToOUStatement.asp Watch the FULL video. I dare ya! Shechitah barbarians! Larry Amazing facts about those bloodsuckers. It's like getting to know the private life of bankers and politicians. Anyway, I have momentarily found a sweat spot where they are simply blown away. What weapon of those above will lead to their ultimate defeat? I have power access. |

Nagging can get some results - caving-in or combat. Parents who want the best for the children, or children who want the best the best for their parents don't give in to either reaction. The tiny mosquito can drive the giant (us) crazy. David vs. Goliath. They are also many, so they also show the united we can accomplish anything. But do we LOVE the mosquitoes? Mosquitoes are part of life - do you love life with arms wide open, or chose little part that are sort of ok, some days, depending on how you feel...? Wait a minute, that mosquito is sucking your blood and he's within reach... What do we do? Strike or tell him "I love you?" We must draw the line somewhere, right? No. Wise Monkey smacks mosquitoes, Wise Buddha lets them live. Who knows which is which....a mosquitoe approaches... there is no line, chaos follows... What follows is improvisation, dance... No set lines. Wise Monkey blows them away with fan, and then whoever crosses the line is "dead meat." Though I can find a good reason to dance in their presence rather than sitting like Buddha. Hey, the mosquitoes have to learn to respect too! It's break time in the hammock, you know. There is very much climate change going on, and very bad news... That's the reality, even in the Tibetan peaks. Only simple life can stop it. I think nature is the only thing worth worshiping if there's something that needs dying for or living for. i prefer mutual respect to groveling or demanding worship, and nature seems to be okay with that, she hasn't stopped hugging me, or i her... You can hug a tree and never feel betrayed like a woman could. But when you start loving the mosquitoes, you know you went too far. when mosquitoes go too far you might love to let them know... what that says about human life though.... - n I'll say "I love you mosquito," before I smack them. |
