Attack of the Mosquitos?
We have been coming to the area for 15 years, and this year for the first time we have suffered insect bites, presumably mosquitos but during the day rather than at night, in all probability whilst innocently sitting on our terrace.
I wondered if we are alone in this, or there are others of you similarly affected this year. We just went to stock up on antihistamine and cortisone cream!

Could be the tiger mozzie who is active during the day too.

I have actually had my first bite during the night and am sitting here scratching away in front of my computer - otherwise haven't seen many so far this year.

Attack of Mosquitoes
Just like you we have been coming to the region for years and have never been bitten as often as we have this year. After scratching endlessly, I resorted to searching in the bathroom cabinet and unearthed a packet of Piriteeze with an expiry date of 2008!

I'm bitten every year.
Last year 'they' didn't, apparently, spray at all and this year only half strength.
We have a venom sucker which is excellent for getting out the stings.
They are available from chemists and Decathlon.

Mosquito attacks
I believe it works on most stings, wasps, mozzies etc.
I've even 'sucked out' a bramble thorn.
The one we have is called 'Aspivenom' but I believe there are others on the market.
