Mothballs can work too. When I see neighbors walking their dogs and not picking up after them in my yard, I'll lay out a line of mothballs along the curb in the grass. Dogs will sniff & move on to the next yard.
That should be another case where pick up what was left and deliver it back to the owners yard!!

Has anyone ever tried the "flaming poop in the bag and ring the doorbell" trick?

Has anyone (who'll admit it) had it done to them?

There is a mosquito in my house and he keeps biting me but I can't find the sucker! I saw him once! I've felt him a dozen times in the last 2 days.

Get one of those hanging no-pest strips - it releases vapor that will knock that little sucker down.

Uh... Sol? It must be a 'she' not a he. Only female mosquitoes bite. (And unless I'm mistaken, I believe male mosquitoes obey Marquis of Queensbury Rules. i.e. no hitting below the belt, no kicking, no biting, etc.)

(And actually, several of them there, as mosquitoes usually don't bite more than twice before they die.)

I didn't think those things were still being sold. Something about 'too dangerous for humans' perhaps? Am I mistaken?

The last ones I bought had explicit warnings NOT to use in areas where food was prepared or consumed.
If you can find them, they are still the greatest thing to hang in the bedroom so you don't have to sleep totally covered up to avoid the little beasties.

I need something! I used to use Raid, until my brother disturbed a bee hive, grabbed Raid and started spraying them in the air. He ran out, so he grabbed brake parts cleaner. I was in disbelief as I watched bees stop flying and drop as soon as they got hit. I've never seen anything kill them so quickly. Now that I have gigantic roaches that occasionally make their way up a drain and into the house, I can't imagine using anything else. They're too big to die easily with just Raid, which means they may die, but after they've crawled back into a crevice, this stuff kills them instantly. Anther bonus is you can spray it at your wall and it's brake cleaner, so no oily, or any kind, of residue what so ever.
