Mosquitoes are extremely annoying


Dear Pedro, I think that mosquitoes are extremely annoying, and I bet you do too. No matter what kind of mosquito spray I use at camps — even lemon eucalyptus oil — I still get bitten to some degree. Do you have any suggestions? Also, do mosquitoes fly near peoples’ ears just to annoy them or is there some other reason?

I use my tail to keep the mosquitoes away, Ryan, but I guess that doesn’t help you much. I think The Boss uses cinnamon oil with some success. I can only hear mosquitoes when they’re flying near my ears — they’re just so tiny (and annoying).
