Hi.....The little horrors don't seem to bother me as much as my husband....they used to land on him with knives and forks at the ready.... He now uses Jungle formula maximum....the USA soldiers use this, (buys on line).... but don't miss things like ankles cos they can get you! The good news is they are only about early morning.... by 10am they are usually asleep! Siesta! LOL....but return at about 5 pm till later evening....  they will be gone by end of October. All I use is the S3 citronella spray from Mercadona, decanted into a cheap spray bottle, ....they don't find me as tasty! .....As for the lamps, after a lot of false starts with sill cheap plug in ones.....no use at all, just look pretty! We did a lot of searching and reading comments online and have bought from Amazon ES a Sunnila.....Brilliant!

Hi we are looking to retire to the area but my wife does suffer with mosquito bites. Just how bad are they out there?

if they spray the still water areas it's not that bad you just have to use a good repellent and cover up if out if the evening keep the windows shut and spray the rooms.

They are only around for a short period

Help, i am been eaten alive by mosquitos. I have a plug in the bedroom but i am still been bitten. Can anyone recomend something i can use. Are the LED lamps any good.

Hoping for a quick reply

Thankyou.

We find that the best thing is to take a hay fever relief tablet containing CETIRIZINE DIHYDROCHLORIDE every day It doesn’t stop them biting you but the bites don’t itch or swell 

If you are in the UK you can buy them in Home Barga99p for 30
