I've had mossies bite me through nightwear & bedding on holiday. Have used plugins ever since & been fine. As for outdoors, usually exposed areas only.

Not a one CG and I have sat outside until it was dark. Dont know what's happened to them but it's great.

Not even had them in our community garden up till now.  Makes a nice change as they just love me.

They will all be hiding HB and one day when you least expecting it, they will pounce.  :)

Still no midges. Don't know where they have gone but I hope they stay there  ;D

We have had little rain and they need dampness to multiply so perhaps that's the reason.

I hadnt seen flying ants before, till i seen heaps on them running along edges of slabs on patio.  Anyone know how best to get rid of them?  I have just poured loads of water on them, maybe some of them will drown

Ant powder - its the only way. I try and kid myself that it is more humane than pouring boiling water on them.

I think I drowned the ones on our patio and just to make sure I spent ages scrubbing the
Slabs with a bristly brush, that was my exercise yesterday.  All good fun
