How to Kill Vampires (Mosquitoes)

We all know the itchy and annoying bite of a mosquitoes. Personally, I think they are the scourge of the world has THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING but spread malaria and be obnoxious. Mosquitoes are the Jimmy Fallons of the insect world.

But what's the best way to kill them?

Clap them.

Mosquitoes are very light, so swatting at them with your hand causes an air column which can push them around your hand of death. When you attempt to clap them, each hand is pushing a column of air together causing the insect to become trapped.

Another way is to just smack it against a surface, where again there is no wind flow to carry it away from certain death.

User hints have also recommended wetting your hand and swatting at them so they will stick to you ("Mosquitoes have a high surface area to weight ratio and they are easily trapped on a wet surface. ") or WD-40 and a flame torch.
