I love this solution

We were plagued with them in London, as our apartment overlooked the river. We bought a plug-in thing and they stayed away. I don't know what it was, but it was yellow and you could buy refills. Oh, and it was all natural stuff, not chemicals.

That's it! I've remembered now, it was called 'Jungle Formula'. My husband told me that it killed them, but I like to think it just deterred them and made them go elsewhere.

Just eat lots of garlic as the mossies hate the stuff.

You can also get garlic based sprays that are odourless to humans but not to mossies, may be worth a go.

Failing that, rent one of your rooms out to a French man, just make sure he stays away from your missus.
