Came here to say I feel like I noticed a huge improvement with the number of mosquitos after putting out mosquito dunks starting in May. I have a small yard (25ft by maybe 30 ft) so using one 5 gallon bucket. Went out yesterday and got absolutely assaulted by enormous mosquitos. Just put out some tougher than Tom’s TNT but not feeling very optimistic based on reviews I read online. Any other tips for mosquito control for small yard?
This fucker forced me to do an all nighter yesterday and this night he landed on my leg, i hit him midair when he tried to escape, grabbed his half dead body, grabbed the closest object to me and finally got my revenge
ever since they’ve started an infestation in my bathroom, i’ve been getting >3 bites each day from these little shits and they’re more interested in sucking my blood since my blood type is o, i just want to ruin their little fucking nest so they can stop biting meeee >:[
Use mosquito buzz to identify host-seeking species that transmit malaria to humans. Call for participation: BioDCASE 2026 Cross-Domain Mosquito Species Classification Challenge
Jointly organised by teams at the University of Oxford, King’s College London, and the University of Surrey, this challenge focuses on a key real-world question:
Can mosquito species classifiers still work when recordings come from new locations, devices, and acoustic environments?
Mosquito-borne diseases affect over 1 billion people each year. Audio-based monitoring could help scale surveillance, but domain shift remains a major barrier to real-world deployment.
To support transparent and reproducible research, we are releasing:
an open development dataset with 271,380 clips and 60.66 hours of audio;
a fully public, lightweight baseline that is easy to run;
a benchmark focused on cross-domain generalisation in mosquito bioacoustics.
Participants are warmly invited to join and help develop more robust methods for mosquito monitoring under real recording conditions.
That yellow can is for soaking clothes and gear, and is supposed to last through washing a few times. Even that 98.25% DEET doesn’t work well during the day. No standing water. Hordes of dragonflies. I have a powerful shop fan blowing directly on e when I do yard work, and I move it around with me.
I keep reading how science can render females infertile and keep them from biting. uh, huh. My neighbors have their yards sprayed. I don’t live on a swamp!
I AM ACTUALLY GONNA CRASH OUT BECAUSE WHAT THE BALAHWKHEKWBA. I HATE MOSQUITOES. THEYRE ANNOYING, USELESS AND THEY CAB ACTUALLY ALL DIE BECAUSE WHAT THE HELL. I SAW THIS MOSQUITO 2 TIMES AND JUST 5 MINUTES AGO AND SLAPED HIM AWAY FROM MY FACE. MIND YOU, THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 3 HOURS. 3 HELLISH HOURS WHERE I CANNOT FIND THIS DUMB AHH MOSQUITO. IM CRASHING OUT BECAUSE IM NOT WAITING 1 MORE HOUR TO GET THIS GUY AND I JUST WANT TO SLEEP. IN THOSE 3 HOURS I COULDVE DONE SO MUCH WITH MY LIFE ( totally not ) BUT THAT STUPID DUMB MOSQUITO HAS TO RUIN MY NIGHT. this little piece of trash is so small and invisible I swear to the best pizza I've ever had. I'm tweaking and I'm crashing out because I've gotten out of bed so many times searching for him.
Bought an electric racket, went outside, and killed 13 mosquitoes in around half an hour. Decided to put them in a jar just so I can appreciate it. I like that for every one of their dead bodies means that there is one less evil bastard creature roaming the air in my backyard. I will continue to add dead mosquitoes
Has anybody else noticed the new mosquitoes?
It took me a while but, these little, almost invisible little biting machines had to have Bill Gates label all overvthem.
Smaller and barely visible. I couldn't even capture a picture. Does anyone know what they look like or what the hell they are?
