Default Mozzies

Had the windows open the other night because of the heat and got bitten 12 times! Anybody got a solution that works for mozzies? Bought a couple of raid plug ins from Apolonia and giving them a go but it would be interesting to hear others thoughts....

plug ins seem to do the trick and we always give the room a good spraying also, having said that we tend to use fans and try and keep the windows closed after about 6-7pm

Cool Re: Mozzies

As we are here fulltime we got screens fitted, can be a bit pricey but worth every penny especially now we are now in the 30s.

Strangely enough fire eaters, you know the guys that run those burning firesticks up their arms, don`t get affected by mozzies.

Eat Marmite, have it on toast, the little sods won't touch you. I know not everybody likes Marmite, but it works.

If you have a Mercadona where you are go to the baby section & get some baby colone called Nunuco, get a plastic spray bottle put it in there, spray it on you & that should work as well.
