Is anyone else having a major mozzie problem at the mo? its doing my head in

It started at home with the intense weather we had, I must have had my bedroom window open a tiny bit, as the room gets no circulation as it is. My room at the moment has got quite a few lurking about, you can hear them buzzing, I spent the best part of 3 hours trying to kill them or get rid of them, they will not budge. They are a constant annoyance, keep me awake and night by dive bombing on me,

Some even got in to my open laptop bag last night, came in to work today, and now iv got some harrasing me in work.

I dont need this when I have work to do

Install a very fine screen so that you can open the window without the buggers getting into the room.

Closed windows + air conditioner.

How am I a queen? someone who is scared to the point of a mental breakdown over an ant is a queen.

I just find mozzies highly irritating, with the buzzing, and the diveboming and the keeping people awake at night.

My dog kills them for me, leeping dog of death.

Urm yes we do. And yeah op I know what you mean, I've found one or two per night each day for the last week.

The mozzies were out in force last night on the restaurant terrace. It wasn't much better inside.

Get a Dragonfly nymph.

I react badly to bites, instead of a little itch and a red bit, it swells to about the size of a 50p, bulges out about a cm and oozes white blood cell's and crusts for about 3 days, then starts to calm down and go away.

Not pretty, but better than sweating in bed all night.

What you're most likely seeing are midges, not mosquitoes.

We do get mosquitoes in the UK...

dekez · 29 Jun 2010 at 15:21

I'm definitely seeing mosquitoes in East London. It's not the only part of the country either:

Your right, they are probably midges, still equally annoying though and still bite

Dutch Guy · 29 Jun 2010 at 15:37

Another option is to get a young cat, my cat caught 2 flying bugs yesterday, he just swiped them mid air, stood on them when they were on the ground and ate them.

But not enough to cause problems.

I think what you mean is that some parts of England dont have them ? ... I dont get a problem with them where I am and dont see them when out and about either.
