Re: Do you get mosquitos in Perth ????
I got bitten to pieces when I went to Thailand, day and night whatever I used.
In Cyprus I didnt get bitten once.
I wonder if it depends on the country you visit?
When I was in QLD I got bitten initially but after a few days I didnt.

March (or Marsh) flies are even worse....when one of those bites you....you stay bit :scared:
One of the hazards of living in a warm climate.
Try doing a search on here and you will find lots of horror stories.

I wonder if it depends on your skin or odour, as my OH and daughter didn't get bitten once but I had about 20+ bites.
Is it true that the closer to the coast you are the less prevalent they are ?
( Mind you, we were right by the coast in Bulgaria so perhaps that theory is bunkum )

Nice.
