Mosquito Terminator

Imagine a place that has worse mosquitoes than Texas, Louisiana and Minnesota combined (the 3 other places we've lived in our lives that all had mosquitoes--we can't escape them!!) I call it "the PLAGUE" although thankfully we're not dying from them. They are always here. At least in the states you get a rest from them for a few months after a freeze but it doesn't freeze here. And from what I hear April and May are the worst months. The apt. complex sprays twice a week and you'd never know it...that is unless they didn't spray...then it would be an all-out invasion. They are smart suckers too. Much more so than in the states. They are super quick and know how to hide. It's amazing how you think you got one in b/w your hands yet meanwhile they've escaped into oblivion. The boys all sleep with mosquito nets and we tried to for about a week but they were in the net with us!!--biting all night. We figured it's better to get bitten without the net than to be trapped in there with them.

Then we invested in a MOSQUITO TERMINATOR! We've seen them sold by street people since we moved here but never went for it. Then I found one at the grocery store. It looks like a tennis racket but has metal wires for the netting. You just press the trigger, swing at the insect and listen to it crackle!:) It's now our new toy and our most pleasurable hobby--electrocuting mosquitoes!!! It is so satisfying to hear them sizzle:) We still don't find them all, but every night you can see mosquito carcases all over the floors. The kids can't use it but we let Corban pose with it in one of the pictures:) I'm not sure if these exist in the states...maybe at Walgreen's in the infomercial section:)...if they do you should get one just for fun!
