Do you think the mossies will live in them.. my partner says as the water is renewed every few days they cannot live in them...You say that sand flies leave a bite mark..that has me wondering now if it is mozzies?? How can you tell for sure?
I am also O Rhesus Neg but I never get bitten I was assuming it was the Negative that stopped me but if you do get bitten then that's my theory gone.

I remember reading something that we all get bitten by mossies but its only if you are allergic to the saliva in the bite that you get the itchy reaction, my husband always gets bitten and the mossies seem to fly over me just to land on him, which is quite handy

Not sure about your hanging baskets, any stagnant water is not a good idea but can't imagine they would be living in your hanging baskets but I'm no expert.

Well as I am not drinking at the moment, I must say it is marvellous for PMT.

I would rather sit naked on a red ants nest covered in strawberry jam eating kangaroo shit than eat that stuff

I used to make a mint/vinegar mix up for my horse (and me) years ago - am growing mint in the garden now so will be trying it out again soon, see if it works on aussie flies

We were on a beach walk yest eve with the dog, i had the poo bag...and was surrounded by millions of flies - totally gross!
the coast around adelaide is definitely worse for flies than the city or the hills ... especially if you are anywhere near sand dunes etc

you need to move up next to us Kat there are very few flies around by us at the moment ... and even the mozzies are getting getting fewer as the weather warms up
