mozzies any tips?
i am a member of a forum in turkey where we have regular discussions on ways to combat mozzies.
most of us agree that the best thing we have found to stop the little critters biting you is marmite.
have you had the same discussions on here?have you any good tips on the little bleeders

Re: mozzies any tips?
There's an avon product (not designed for mizzie repelling, I think it's a body spray or something) which is supposed to be fantastic, everyone I know in the UK/in the US and on this forum who knows anything about mozzies recommends it, but the name of it escapes me. I might try to find ut and get some though, the deet is not working on the noseeums
