For clearing mosquitoes, I think the smaller device would be more suitable...


as though nuclear devices could be considered suitable...

Unless you yourself smell like a pig or a dog. Very likely in the jungle.

Of course the radioactive fallout could mutate the mosquitos to form giant size mosquitos! Ah, a new Hollywood movie is born, staring Ancient Dragon in a rubbersuit with wings and a long snorkel up front, chasing bunnies on the beach.

revenge of the bunny killing mosquitoes?

Does have a ring to it, but it's more of a title for a mid-1980s B movie than a real blockbuster I'm afraid.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

Use mosquito net in your window, door and if possible put a net around your bed.

that's not fighting mosquitoes, that's admitting defeat.
You're defining your room as a place where you are, the rest of the world you give to the mozzies.

Then there are those little oscillators that emit a frequency close to the wingbeat of the smaller male mosquito. The females avoid areas like that and they are the ones that bite.

Agent orange is normally contaminated with other chemicals that cause mutations. Again, you run the danger of mutating the mosquitos into giant Hollywood-style mosquitos. With some luck you could mutate humans into something so horrifying that even mosquitos won't bite.

Umm! Set the temperature of your AC to -0 (!?!). I am sure, those blood sucking mosquitoes will freeze to death ! Oh well, if you dont have an AC at home, you can hide behind the door and attack them from behind !
Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
