can we talk about mosquitos!

[canella]

i'm going quietly mad and its only april!! the little buggers love me! we've got mosquito nets on half the windows and we only open those ones! and a hangy mosquito thing on the back door cause we've often got that open all the time! but somehow they're still getting me!

so i've taken vitamin B for the last month and i'm still getting bitten!its not only that they bite me but i react really badly to them - they swell to the size of a euro coin!!

so does anything work to stop them eating me?

citronella oil works and is chemical free

I think it is true about them preferring pregnant women because you have more blood circulating.

sorry spring, they need less than a drop to nourish their assassin offspring.

Think I meant were more likely to launch their attack on rather than preferring....DS up at 4.50 - that's my excuse anyway

Citronella is the only thing I have found to really work. I also make sure all curtains and windows are closed as soon as it starts getting dark.
