Suck It, Ms. Mosquito
Oct 28th, 2007 by Nola
Every morning these days, we wake up to little red bites over Sun’s arms and face. Right now, she has over 10 bites on her. Mosquitoes. I HATE mosquitoes buzzing in my ear and biting me at night. Even more, I hate the thought of them biting on Sun unable to swat them away. Poor little boo-boo, and she doesn’t even complain.
We have researched what to do to get rid of the skeeters. We now turn off the indoor and outdoor lights when opening the outside door. We keep our windows closed. We kill them when we find them. I even find myself going in to the nursery in the middle of the night on the prowl. Usually I don’t find any. I don’t find any, that is, until the morning–then the bellies of the few we find are full of blood–Sun’s blood. IT SUCKS!
So, to combat all these evil mosquitoes, it’s come to this:
Yes, mosquito netting over the crib.
Welcome to the South. Enjoy the food.
Stumble it!
Poor Baby Sun
I hope that this helps.
Poor baby. Hopefully the net will be full-proof!
You know they love her because she is so sweet. They can’t help themselves. It is the same reason they love ME! ;P
R U sure they are mosquitos? This was happening to my son in his crib and someone suggested they looked more like spider bites and that babies skin reacts to them like a mosquito. Well, lo and behold, I started paying attention and started seeing these teeny tiny spiders in his room. Called an exterminator and GONE! No more bites. Spiders are bad right now . . .
