Nothing is more frustrating to me than mosquitoes. Mosquitoes provide nothing really. They are the deadliest “animal” on earth. Responsible for a million deaths a year. Only the females bite you, so this firm developed a gene that kills off the females before they reproduce. The males survive, which don’t bite you.

I’m sure nothing will go wrong with that.

Only the females bite, just like in mating with Black Widow spiders, Praying Mantis all females are dangerous bolt

Reminds me of another mosquito story. We were camping out on the beach near SLP. A swarm of Mosquitos came in. I had supplies in an old washtub. I crawled under the tub to get away from the Mosquitos . They bored holes in the tub with their beaks. I picked up a hammer and started bradding their beaks to the tub. The Mosquitos flew away with the tub.

Any of you want to buy some ocean side land in Arizona. confused2

Skeeters are a food source for lots of other critters.

They are doing a terrible job of eating them. You can also buy dragonflies. Which I’m
Looking into.

Does it work on male skeeters that identify as female skeeters?


Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.
