Jenny and I have been away for the last two days
camping and those at the
campsite told us how bad the mozzies were.
Lo and behold, Jenny whips out a packet of Mosquito coils. We put one at either end of the awning of the camper (so that we were protected no matter which way the wind blew) and no bites.
Sitting here tonight in the study which runs off the garage, I saw one flying around and swatted the bastard; blood all over my fingers. Then my arm started to itch. The sod had got me.
Those coils have been around for years and still seem to work. Not sure what they cost but it can't be more than $5 for a pack of ten. Burn two a night, one dollar to be bight free, Bargain.
Cheers,
Jim

I just take the kids and g/f
camping. They get bitten and I get left alone. Not sure why but it works for me.

On that basis they shouldn't like Berocca either so we shouldn't get bitten in the morning either.
