  8. Antispeciesism includes parasites like leeches mosquitos and bedbugs.

    There are non-lethal ways to protect yourself from parasites.

    No one chooses what species they are born in to and villainising moralising or stereotyping parasite species helps nobody but it does reinforce human supremacy and anti-insect speciesism

    Ever noticed how in fiction insectoids are almost invariably unintelligent evil or ravenous beasts and humanoids can be approachable and reasonable: that is an example of anti-insect speciesism

  19. "How are you dealing with all the mosquitoes?" asked neighbor 5 doors away. We have almost no mosquitoes. We have two mosquito dunk buckets, a purple martin house with loads of bug-eating birds, and we have plants that the frogs seem to like. That neighbor has grass. Americans, smdh.

    Another neighbor complained about JuneBugs. I haven't seen any this year.
    I guess these efforts are working!

  30. “We found that a 6% catnip oil was just as effective as #Deet, and the 2% #catnip oil was only marginally less effective than that.”

    “Deet is out of the price bracket for most of #Uganda’s rural subsistence farmers, so buying commercially available #mosquito repellents is just not practicable.
    “We wanted to make a repellent, which is highly efficacious, but also allows local people to be involved in the production cycle so that it costs a minimal amount of money.”
