    You could try asking him to leave ... I've seen this work :) Other times, they pretend not to understand.

    Sleep through it. Takes some getting used to, but that's possible.

    Or get some cats. They eat them and you don't have to feel bad because it's just nature taking its course. :)

    I am fortunate to be one of those people who doesn't get much recognition from mosquitos, living in SE Asia that really helps quite a lot, also considering I have no shots for malaria, yellow fever or dengue fever. I think some of us know about the whole Dalai Lama thing and mosquitos..? He has killed a few in his time.

    I see them as a potential danger to my health, I have heard of many cases, in my area alone of people getting fatal viruses from mosquito's, If I am in the car and I am able to, I will shoo it out of the window, however, if I am in the position where I won't be immediately rid of it, I will definitely kill it. If they didn't carry these viruses I wouldn't but unfortunately they do...

    Any potential danger to my health, even if it's involuntary on their part, and insects get it. Flies are filthy, mosquitoes are malarial - and they carry other diseases too... fleas also, are for the high jump.

    If you'll pardon the pun.
    These insects are potentially life-threatening. And having participated in Health & Safety/Food hygiene training, I'm telling you, these insects are not good news.
    I'm sorry - but I draw the line at Metta and compassion for a blood-sucking, disease-spreading, poo-sucking, itch-inducing nasties.
    If they had any useful, redeeming beneficial qualities, I'd think again.
    But they haven't, not uniquely....

    Depending on where you live, there's things like West Nile Virus, Dengue Fever, and Malaria.
