Mosqitoes?

<< < (4/12) > >>

Karen:
I suffer mosquito bites every year and I am allergic to them. 2 years on trot had to have steroid injections from the local doc!!  Have tried everything but I find the Jungle sprays are very good, but you need to spray as soon as it gets dusk.  If I do get bitten I start to take Piriton tablets straight away and they usually work. We use the plug ins but still find mossies flying around the room, so best thing is keep doors and windows shut as soon as it gets dusk.  Oh and they don't seem to like air conditioning.

Jules:
Take your Jungle Formula out with you as well so you can top up if needed. Roy never gets bit and he puts it down to eating marmite.

Speros (Nafsika) told us to go and buy cheap insect spray and always spray the room as we go out in the evening.  Windows closed etc.  Plus, I never even go out on the balcony without jungle formula and also the Soltan insect repellant after sun on.  Following this I have managed to beat the little b's for last 4 visits!  Someone also told me that Avon SKIN SO SOFT - DRY OIL BODY SPRAY IS GOOD TO USE TOO.  So, I NEVER wear perfume (the mossies love that) and spray with Avon!  I am definitely prepared.  Got a bite by a horsefly on my foot on the beach 5 years ago - blimey that really did hurt!

I am also lucky, I have never had a mozzie bite in Ag. Stef, (in 27 years now), but Linda does get the odd bite though!
Mozzies are a pain, but they like the freshly sunned the best, when skin is reddish, and you have just arrived, I find.

Eat lots of garlic, some say marmite - but it's pot luck - just use the spray!

I always use a mozzie spray there, but I think maybe because I take anti-histamine all summer helps as well.
We always use a plug-in (liquid) in the room as well.

Just sensible precautions.
