Mosquitos

[gnipper 6,761]

Is it bad for the blood sucking little sods everywhere at the moment or just round here? I'm covered in bites from work, walking the dogs and around the garden. There's loads of them and I'm scratting like I've got mange.

Best cure for the itching is hot water,,,,as hot as you can stand,,,for as long as you can stand,,,,best done in a shower with a movable head,,,,,I promise it works,,,but the key thing is,,as hot as possible,,for as long as possible...

 

Just to add,,you do this direct to the bites,,,not the rest of your body,,obviously

it was the same over in Alberta this year, they were brutal, you couldn't sit in the garden without being attacked, the experts were saying...because we had a wettish start to the summer season, then sunshine/showers, it makes good for mosquitoes, the larvae can lay in rank stagnant water for a year or so until the perfect time comes and then they all come out at once, they are attracted to carbon dioxide and the heat of living things, so we don't stand much of a chance when there around, plus, it's only the females that bite you, further on in Alberta, people were wearing bee keeper suits to protect themselves, it was that bad, didn't Britain have a wet start before the summer came? it's probably the same thing there, but the upside is....since we moved over to Vancouver island, we haven't seen one........

I am the same except my face looks like freddie krugers legs,all that scratching used to drive me mental,loads of times fell asleep outside the net and my face would be up like a balloon the next morning,you hear drones of them in formation buzzing around your head while your in half-sleep mode,its always worse with a skin head as they get you everywhere.

Get some garlic in your meals you sweat it out in your pores and they leave you alone

Luckily the horse flies have buggered off this year as it's always bad for them round here.

These mosquitoes like the taste of the skin so soft spray.
