mozzies
don:
1)-We use the room plug ins.
2)-A burning candle on the balcony.
3)-Shower with natural lemon shower gel. Allegedly the varmints hate lemon!
4)-Always have Garlic bread or Garlic mushroom starter.
5)-Use after sun with Insect repellant.
6)-Use anti-histamines.
7)-Mosquito repellant wrist bands. Lemon scented
8)-Vitamin B
9)-Jungle Formula
10)-Marmite
The problem is I still get bit. After putting on all the various gunges and quack potions I get bit on the hands. I really must stop washing them!
PS ..... any further suggestions?
How many more repellants out there?

Try to wear long legged pants and not shorts. Also don't wear perfume or after shave as they may be attracted to it.

Don't do perfume. Not my scene baby! As for aftershave... Sandra claims I never shave! As for long trousers... why deprive the world of my legs? You have kept on about them long enough! Must be something about them. Good or bad let the world share :o

All very interesting, but looking at your dodgy 'Tan' Don, I would say that you definately use Marmite as an instant tan,
the trouble with Marmite is - you either Love or Hate it - so only the Marmite loving Mozzies tend to bit you!!!
Now - does it rub off on the sheets??
It comes down to this - do all of the above - and if you still get bitten - wear a rubber suit from head to foot!! LOL
