They hang around until consistent freezing temperatures.

me too, on my ear for some reason and my arm. Luckily the bites are always gone by the time I wake up in the morning.

I just sprayed the hell outta the bedroom and plugged in one of those mosquito repellant things. Seemed to work, unless it spent the night out around the kitchen or living room and decides to attack me later.

Me too! I killed one this morning. I still had mosquitos 2 and 3 weeks ago and tried to buy one of those electric rackets off Gmarket, but they couldn't deliver it claiming it's out of season. Korean bugs are very resistent to cold. The mosquitos are horrible back home in the Summer, but they shut down well before cool weather comes. Korean wasp, bees, flies, and mosquitos can start up on any sunny Winter day. I seen black wasp crawling last March when it was only a hair above freezing.

You guys are lucky. I wish we had warm enough temps to still have skeeters around. Where I am, we haven't seen one since the beginning of September.

It's in fact freezing cold, but a few survived indoors up until a week or so ago. Mosquitoes are finished until the weather warms up to about 55 to 60 F and sunny.
