It’s your own darn fault if that happens, because there should not be any water in the pitcher in the spare room until and unless someone occupies the room! D’oh!
Fire the chambermaid! Maybe even burn her at the stake so that the smoke will stave off the pestilential infestation! (Just trying to be practical, ya know?)
A few drops of essential scented oils will keep the pitcher in your spare room mosquito free. This was commonly known throughout Froglandia, although people in Florida, a less advanced country, had no idea of such things, or even how pleasant a few drops of scented oil made their daily ablutions. Primitive skunk ape people, all of them.
Ooooo chamber maid, when was the last time you changed the pitcher of water? It’s blood curdling…..and there’s that spittoon in the corner…HELLOOOOOOO ?
This reminds me of an illustration I saw decades ago with a story about fingerprints betraying a crime and tiny spider webs all over the furniture that looked like fingerprints.

They don’t carry something useful, like luck, or intelligence, or literacy. Oh, no, it has to be West Nile and encephalitis.

…old literature is the best litter…
…that’s alright…
…the bats will eat them…
…might not be as fancy as fishnets…
… but mosquito nets can be fun too…
…spare bedrooms and empty chamber pots…
…was that an old Hankie In Your Pocket?…

You guys make it hard to leave a comment that doesn’t suck mosquito larva. How did Teresa get so many funny people on her side of the fence?

Which was convenient because the town had started spreading kerosene on the pond.
