I just want to rant because I had enough of this set of species called MOSQUITOES.
What exactly did I do to deserve their constant bites and disturbing sound?
I have tried everything I can to completely eradicate them from my home but it's barely lasted a month and they come back double in size and amount.

I wasn't so mosquito sensitive before I had my baby, I lived in a boarding school and university that was close to stagnant water and dirt so the amount of mosquito I had to deal with in school was out of the world. I became a regular visitor at the clinic for malaria but I didn't bother so much because I genuinely did not feel the bites, I just sleep so well, wake up, and maybe during my bath I notice red bumps showing I had some mosquito visitor at night.
But when I got pregnant it seems my sense of feeling/touch heightened because even a perch on my skin by anything I feel it immediately, and this new sensitivity has been more than a curse than a blessing to me
A day doesn't go by that I don't kill a mosquito at night. I have gotten professionals to fumigate my house and the effect lasted for about 3 weeks, I have used all the insecticide brands available in the various supermarket here in Lagos and mostly last a maximum of 1 week period before it wears off.I ensured all the nets on the window frames are hole free, got covers for the bathroom hole and I don't leave my door wide open for any reason. I try to make my house insect-free But yet these insects keeps coming and coming.
Don't they have a period where they just go extinct and give humans a break? I am tired of getting to worry about them every night.
A lot of people have recommended getting mosquito nets but I hate that thing, makes me feels like I am locked inside closed space, very uncomfortable and my son hates it too, even been covered with a blanket, he dislikes it so much.
I have tried to cover him up when he is fast asleep but immediately he is aware of the fact that there is something external on him he wakes up.I wonder where he got it from.馃檮
If I get too busy and forget to use my insecticide, I just know that it's would be a long night. I cannot genuinely look forward to a peaceful night's rest because of them.
If scientists can find the cures to lots of illness, they can find a way to eradicate mosquitos because I am done with them and their bites.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
