Mozzies in March

Post by Dalcassian »

Hey All,
What is the situation with Mosquitoes in the month of March? Will we need repellent? Should we bring one of those electric sound emitter’s things for the bedroom at night? :?

From past experience you will not be bothered, but there is no harm in using the various devices available. Howevere, even in peak summer months the the ultra violet contraptions never seem to catch anything!

No, I haven't either Canada. I usually stay at Monte Dourado aparts and never seen a mossie in one, or been troubled outdoors..
BUT Joe...to be on safe side, I take Mike,Chislehurst's advice and eat Marmite on toast for brekkie as its supposed to ward off Mossies! :shock:
Is it the yeast or vitaminB or something? :?
If you don't like Marmite I believe Avon do a very good spray but can't remember name :? :)

We find April & September the worst for mossies. Having said that, I got bitten last week in CVO, but I think it was sitting out at dusk that did it - always a dangerous time.



:cry:
