Hey 4X4, you reckon I could use that zapper on my kids as well?!

[4x4]

Hi Jo

Not sure if the Zapper will work on children.

When I find out what a "Child Board" is, that might do the trick.
You either strap them to it or hit them with it ( not that I would do such a thing )
I am sure your children are perfect examples.  ))

When I was there last week my daughter a mozzie spray and I used Avon Skin so Soft. Don't know if it was coincidence but she has loads of bites and I didn't have any. I'll certainly use it again as I normally do get bitten.

Must admit, June, the only nights I didn't get bitten this year were when I used Skin So Soft all over, as well as repellent sprays.

That's good to hear cos I have just bought some skin so soft & my usual jungle formula with 50% DEET. I assume it is the pink skin so soft as I got a free blue skin so soft.

I always thought it was the blue bottle (dry body oil spray). You have one anyway and the jungle formula is very good.

I like the pink one better but then the mossies might like that one too. I can see i will be going out smelling like a tarts boudoir if I lather myself with the pink, blue &deet stuff!

It's the blue bottle- Woodland Fresh- that acts as an insect repellent for some people. I think its got eucolyptus (spelling?) in it that acts as a natural repellent.

[justlynn]

Yes, definitely the blue bottle - Soft and Fresh - it contains citronella, I believe......

Mike swears by it and gets through 2 bottles of the stuff...mind you dont slip on the marble floors if it gets sprayed on.

Never mind the mossies over there what about the midges, horse flies etc over here in the UK. Last couple of days I've been bitten like hell in spite of putting on all the stuff i can think of. Jan reckons I look worse now then i did in Pefkos in May. Bytheway sat outside at 21.48 with a large glass of Merlot enjoying the lovely evening and surfing the old interweb. Only 10 weeks and 4 days before we hit Arillas.

I dont normally have a problem here in the Uk but come to think of it what I thought were spots were probably bites from sitting in the garden at night.  Will have to get the holiday kit out and spray it about a bit.

Barry - VERY good!!

Do you hire yourself out to visitng Tourists??!!

There is another way to reduce mozies - it's not exactly to everybodies cup of tea but DOES work - if you use a little of your own urine on your skin they don't like it - ureaic acid therein is somthing the buggers don't like, but as I say - not to everyones taste.....(!!!!)

........, but as I say - not to everyones taste.....(!!!!)
