Two things here. One is that if you have previously had wimpy mosquitoes that ran at the whiff of citronella you have had it easy.
Secondly, it isn't nice to lock your parents outside as a lure for the mossies. And I didn't lock them outside! :( They were outside with friends, we came home, said hello, chatted for a bit, then decided to move inside. (We'd just come back from yoga and were sweaty anyway.) My parents and neighbours came in about 15 minutes later. :( |

In the past we usually have 6 candles and 4 torches going, so the backyard usually looks a bit like some crazy ritual is going on. :) It keeps most of them at bay, it's better than nothing. Doesn't sort it 100%, though.

Re: Hope yet for Canada
Those citronella candles, have been less than useless to us. I bought citronella plants and have them in all of my tubs...they smell nice but the mozzies seem unmoved...this is NB and everything is slow and stubborn after all! Two days ago I bought a bumper pack of "Deep Woods Off" from Costco (avert your eyes Oink:blink:) and it seems to be working, I smell like hell, and look greasy too, but appear to be non bitten:thumbup:

Jesus, never mind the mozzies, WTF is this huge wasp thing on my mower! The tail on it was a good 6 inches or more!
(Im told that we men sometimes have a hard time distinguishing what exactly 6" looks like, but trust me, it was HUGE!) http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...ps51eddb67.jpg |

I'm sorry but what's your point?
You think the bolded bit doesn't prove beyond all reasonable doubt, once and for all, that Canada is boring? |

Only if your metric for determining boredom is how much you complain about things.
Boredom is a complaint about not having things to think about, a condition rather prevalent in Canada. |
