I'm someone who helps a bee/spider/any insect find its way instead of killing, but for some reason I literally want every mosquito on the planet to die.
Perhaps this explains it.

Someone mentioned flies. Don't come to Australia if you have a problem with flies. Those fuckers are scared of nothing and they respect nothing. They just sit in your face whilst you are walking and don't give a shit. Much worse than the European ones that are flying around but don't really land on skin.
'Skeets typically are waiting high up on the wall for lights to go out. Go around the bedroom and nearby rooms and squash them, if you haven't got the paddle.
The best protection for me is a large rectangle net bigger than the bed, and it gives a royal suite touch to the bedroom.
Hearing a mosquito bumping into your net is like being warm and sheltered when it's raining outside.
And if you have hunting urges, don't like the noise and can't sleep with ear plugs, they are easier to kill since they will often stay between the net and a wall.
This might explain why I have sometimes needed to lay the thing over my ear instead of leaving it on the nightstand.
Maybe I should leave a glass of warm seltzer standing by it.
I'd mention Dead Man (1995) as a Western or Western themed movie to watch. I would give it a very similar description to yours.
I moved from Africa with its noisy mosquitoes to Canada where the mosquitoes are silent but the bites are violent.
But they do thrive very, very well in places with permeable soil. Scotland has its peat bogs (for those unfamiliar with the country: in some regions, basically all ground is peat). In the past, the country experienced freezing temperatures during most winters. But with global warming, that's no longer true. The freezes would kill many midges. Now, you can encounter hellish swarms of the little beasts.
Scotland isn't the worst, though. I've read that in Siberia, during the summer months, biting flies swarm so thickly that they can kill. Cattle have been found suffocated, their nostrils completely clogged with flies, and some of the local tribes traditionally went into tents and just waited out the swarms for a few weeks or months. Here's a fun little video: https://englishrussia.com/2015/09/01/mosquitos-and-insects-i...
Correct, in Costa Rican Spanish they are called purrujas.
Where I live in Turkey has too much of them especially on warmer seasons and humid weather, sometimes making it unbearable to just sit outside without getting constantly bitten or hearing their irritating sound.
Especially those ones which constantly fly around you super fast in circles... irritating.
Fun fact: mosquitos and flies are the same word (sinek) in my language. Perhaps someone who hates them equally just got away with a single word with those little devils.
