My very first blog entry… of all things, was about how much I hate cockroaches.  Hahahaha.

I take it back.  If there’s one thing I could make extinct on earth, it’d be mosquitos!!!!!

If you follow my Twitter you’d see that every once in a while I’ll be raging against mosquitos. >:((((((((((

Our apartment for some unfathomable reason has seasonal problems with mosquitos one T_________T

Went back to see my own tweets and got angry all over again wtf.

For most of the time I cannot figure out where all the mosquitos are coming from!  On advice from Wendy I actually went around the whole house (and out to the balconies) to check for stagnant water because it seemed like the more mozzies I killed, the more came to take their places.

But no stagnant water.  Granted they come more when it’s rainy season but we usually try not to open windows and we still get mosquitos in.

I was going crazy.

Mosquitos only seem to bite me not Fatty.  Many a night I’d wake up in the middle of the night cos I could hear mosquitos in my ear or cos I was itchy all over. T___T

I tried spraying the room with pesticide.  Mosquitos didn’t die!

I don’t like the traditional green coil that you have to burn because it’s smoky and smelly and eventually turns your ceiling yellow.  So I bought the electric appliance where you insert the pad of pesticide in.  Smelly but still didn’t work either.

I googled and tweeted for solutions and went out and bought this.

Oil burner + citronella oil.

Ok this works but it doesn’t work to destroy mosquitos.  The smell of the citronella oil confuses mosquitos but once I step further away from the burner, the mosquitos would detect me again and start nomming. -_-

2ndly, I put the burner near my bed for max protection and because it’s an open dish, the water and oil in it gets spilled a lot all over my carpet. -____-

3rdly, I DON’T WANT TO CONFUSE MOSQUITOS I JUST WANT THEM TO DIE.

I’ve actually been waiting for the day where I can blog this.  The day I found a satisfactory   solution to my mosquito troubles.

This is called a lantern the Khind Aedes Buster.

All the parts.  With all their powers combined….

I tagged them to show how it works.

1 – The top part which has the slat windows for evil mosquitos to get sucked in.  There’s a fan in there to create suction.  There’s also a UV light tube inside to create light and heat to attract the mosquitos.

2 – Glue tray which goes right at the bottom to catch mosquitos so they can’t fly out again.

3 – Funnel which sits above the glue tray to funnel mosquitos through.

4 – Bottom part which holds the glue tray and funnel.

5 – Shade which sits on top to focus the light.

Quite simple to assemble!  Glue tray goes first, followed by the funnel then the whole big top part.

Just screw on the top.

Done!

The Aedes Buster works to attract mozzies in three ways:

1)      Odour – The Buster is coated with a layer of Titanium Dioxide Coating.  The Titanium Dioxide interacts with the air to release carbon dioxide, which mimics carbon dioxide exhaled by human beings. Mosquitoes can detect carbon dioxide up to 100 feet (36 meters) away and that’s how they get to you. >:(

2)      Light – The ultra violet (UV) light produces a strong visual attraction to mosquitoes within 30 feet.

3)      Heat – Heat released by the UV lamps mimics human body warmth and lures mosquitoes within the vicinity of 10 feet from the buster.

Once the mosquitoes get near to the Buster they will be sucked into the mosquito collecting compartment and stick to the glue tray muahahaha. Then they have no choice but to die there muahahahha.

I stationed it in a corner of my room.  There’s a timer so the buster automatically turns off after four hours.  Four hours is enough to clear the room of mosquitos and saves electricity as well as the longevity of the UV tube.

Just leave it in a darkened room for four hours (so the UV light will be more effective in attracting mozzies).  Try not to stay in the room, or if you have to, put the buster at least 10 feet from you to avoid conflicting sources of CO2 in the room wtf.

I just tried it officially for the first time last night!

I was in my room the whole night watching Downton Abbey so I didn’t turn on the Buster.  Then I went to sleep and woke up half an hour later with an itchy hand. -____-

MOSQUITO I KEEL YOU.

I jumped out of bed, pulled out the Buster and turned it on, making sure I put it at least 10 feet away from me.

Then jumped back into bed and pulled the covers over me so I wouldn’t release CO2 lolol.

Slept peacefully for the rest of the night. ^^

This was me before. LOLOL damn funny this video.

Me now! ^^
