To burn the house down? (Mozzie related.)

Just jumped after hearing the whine of a mosquito, saw it on the bed, tried to squish it and missed. Now it's disappeared. Would I be perfectly reasonable to raze the place to the ground? I'm hoping the massive spider that I saw scuttle under the bed last night just had a tasty snack, but I'm not sure. (I like spiders, they're not blood sucking bastards.)

Spray the room and under the bed/corners, close the door and leave it.

(dont know where you are but sure if you have mozzies you will have spray to zap them)

I don't actually, I'm in the UK and couldn't sleep! We don't seem to get them much round here, but when I do hear them that's it, I want it dead. I have body spray, will that help?

The spider would be my main concern.... but then mozzies don't eat me! They prefer DH!

I'm blood group A which is supposedly a mozzies least favorite snack, but there's no one else for it to eat. Sad

Jesus Christ, you 'want it dead'? What actual harm will it do you? You're hardly at risk of malaria in the U.K.

Another example of: it's alien to me so fucking kill it. Jesus

You are shitting me, Pivone! Its a mossie, they bite, its itchy. Absolutely ridiculous.

Mossies are no good to anyone. Im covered in very itchy sore bites right now, despite repellant (not uk).

Body spray will attract it. Hunt it down, clap, don't try and grab it.

Em... They can make me pretty miserable. Think this on every limb and face. Not fun.

Kill the little bastard!

One mozzie? ONE MOZZIE? You think you've got problems? I've got a clothes moth infestation. I've thrown away everything the bastards have got into and washed the rest and still they come.
