I have mosquitoes in my house. They can’t be coming from outside because it’s too cold for them to survive outside.
What do I do?
December 8, 2016 9:44 pm at 9:44 pm #1197426B1g B0yParticipantKill them

December 8, 2016 11:28 pm at 11:28 pm #1197428👑RebYidd23ParticipantDo you have standing water in your house?

At least in NYC, it hasn’t been all that cold this season yet, so it’s also possible they’ve survived under bushes etc. IIRC, the average mosquito lives for about 30 days. I don’t think it’s warm enough for them to breed though.

Also, they sense people via their carbon dioxide emissions. Exhales and bodily odors/off-gassing, so put up fans around you to prevent them from finding you.
Besides living in terror, you can negotiate a deal so they leave you hostages alone.
I suggest offering them a helicopter, 5k, and six CR usernames.
Actually, if you get them a mini-laptop, then they’ll be too busy on CR to notice you slowly carrying the thing outside.
Or… invite a lizard or frog to spend Shabbos with you. You won’t even have to cook anything special. They’ll devour your hostage takers.
December 9, 2016 2:37 pm at 2:37 pm #1197432MenoParticipantI’ve been told it’s not polite to ask someone if they’re pregnant.
But then again, mosquitoes have never been very polite to me anyway.
I like the lizard idea though.

December 9, 2016 4:36 pm at 4:36 pm #1197434yekusiel11ParticipantYes only one or 2 really but usually do not have any at all in the winter it’s strange
