Seriously buy a mosquito net, and cover your bed with it, is cheap and easy to use. I buy mine on IKEA, and was very cheap. Those tinny daemons will not bother you again i promise

You could hear is bzzzzzzing?
Oh then, you will be alright.
Only the Male Skeeters make a buzzing sound, and they down't draw blood. It's just the females for Egg production.
So in the middle of the night, when you hear that bzzzzzzing sound, rest easy...no biting, no skin drilling.
However....if you hear NOTHING, NOTHING at all....you need to be afraid, and prepared.
PS. I have no idea if what I wrote is true.

You certainly have a wonderful talent for writing.. and making every story interesting, lively and fun!
Here are some mosquito jokes...
"What is the most religious insect?
A mosque-ito!"
"What flies, bites, and talks in code?
A morse-quito!"
"What do you get if you cross the Lone Ranger with an insect?
The Masked-quito!"

Which makes me wonder, do you not put screens on your windows to keep bugs from getting in?

Basil works well against those VILE insects....keep a few pots around!
Also....you can try citronella candles, they work!
However, if you can't or don't want to get either of the above....do what I do...when I spot the bugger, I SPRAY it with whatever I have. Even water works!
Spray it with rage and its wings will get wet, it will drop on the floor where you can SQUASH the living hell out of it.
Works every single time!!!
Good luck!!!!

Hilarious read, but if you think those are nasty wait until a house centipede jumps in bed with you. lol I always thought 6 legs was enough until I moved into my new apartment. BTW, when I found out that I had them I stayed up for 2 days researching them, and I ran across this.

Funny story which I think we can all relate to. There's nothing like having a mosquito or fly buzzing around your bed in the middle of the night when you're trying to sleep. It's one of those things in life that really can get under your skin (literally).
My wife was bitten one night on the nose by some kind of beetle. It woke her up out of bed. When I examined the bite we noticed the darn thing took some meat off her nose! Well that was enough for us to hunt down the meat eating pest. It had it's last meal that night.
My wife and I never realized beetles could bite.
