As Paule would say: "I don't want to start nothing but...."
Only the female mozzie bites and make noise. The blokes are easy going and go around their business with the ladies. There are some devices that emit ultra sound noises that are supposed to repel the females. It's the noise a male mozzie will do. Only fecondated females will bite (and make noise). So it keeps them away coz they're not interested in going for "seconds" [see wedding cake theory]. Now feel free to tell me I'm full of it. That's my story and I stick with it.
