    Mosquitos - Help!!!

    I can't stand this anymore! For the first time in my life I am being attacked by mosquitos. They start biting me about 4 am every morning. I have no idea where they are coming from, I have been leaving my window and door shut and running the air conditioner and they are still getting in. It is making me seriously miserable, no sleep and I am afraid of West Nile disease. We have never had a problem with them before. What can I do? I am desperate, will try anything!

    Time to spray. Either yourself or your house. With Bug Dope. OFF! Works good.

    OMG, I am such a dingbat! I actually bought a big bag of citronella candles at BigLots and totally forgot about them. Going to go light some candles right now.

    OK, I have 12 citronella candles burning in my room now. I am going to go to Lowes and get the spray stuff and try it too. If that doesn't work I am just going to have to move!

    "Off! Skintastic" works well for me. It's lotion as opposed to the smelly aresol stuff in the can. If citronella candles do not work you may have to set off a bug bomb. We had some flying gnats after getting work done in our kitchen and the bug bomb worked well. We haven't seen a flying gnat since we've used the bomb. Good luck!

    Ok, I am going to try every single suggestion here. We are going away for the holiday today so I am going to bomb my room, I'm burning the candles, going to get the stuff from Lowe's and the Off lotion. BTW, the citronella candles were a great deal at Big Lots - 25 tea candles for $1.99. If all of this does not work you all can find me in the corner sobbing hysterically. Thanks for all of the suggestions, you guys are the best!
