They are designed to attract the mozzies, and may well empty all your neighbours yards of mozzies, which are all heading to your attractor. It may well dispose of many of them, but you could end up with more that are now in your location than you had before, that are targeting you, in preference to the unit.. However, place it at the far end of a 2 acre block, and the human occupied area may well be pretty clear. |

Re: Mozzies!
You can buy antihistamine cream at the chemist. Most people wrongly assume antihistamines are just tablets.
That will bring any swelling and itching under control fast. Gems |
Re: Mozzies!
I've tried many things to stop the itching and I recently read somewhere to rub roll on deodorant on them, I've since tried it a few times and it really works!!!
Hope it works for you too! |

We use the mosquito clicker and swear by it. I was a little skeptical at first, but it really works, a few clicks and the irritation goes in a couple of minutes.

Re: Mozzies!
I was attacked by mozzies in my first year. Hasn't been so bad since.
Vitamin B works. Vitamin C is a natural antihistimine. Both these vitamins work well if taken before and after a drinking session to avoid a hangover. Mozzies love people who eat bananas. Mozzies follow carbon dioxide - which we emit. Mozzie coils and candles etc. cover the carbon dioxide. Apparantly. :) |

Re: Mozzies!
Lavender oil is good, and the ice works a treat too.
I was told recently that mossies are attracted to you if you're Vitamin-B deficient to begin with (which i am) so that explains the recommendation to take Vit-B tabs. BTW, encountered march flies for the first time recently, now they're horrific!:eek: |
