Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt :)

For the first time since I started having holidays abroad, I have returned home without any mozzie bites. I did not need to use any sprays, lotions or portions. Well done to the Kalkan Mozzie Busters, whatever they are doing, it seems to be working.

Interesting, this.... I used to get bitten alive, but this year I was fine - at least, all the time we were in our apartment and in the town itself. Two weeks bite free!!

However, on the second to last night of our two week stay we then spent one evening with some friends up the hill a bit - just in front of the Samira Gardens. Result - bitten alive again!

So whatever mossie-removal they are doing in the town, it is not being done further up the hill!

You''re absolutely right MartynE.  I live just along the road from the Samira Gardens. Some friends came round for drinks on my terrace at about 6.30 on Monday evening.  One of them enquired whether there would be any mossies and I confidently replied that I didn''t have a bite on my body and that it had been the best year yet for lack of them. I spoke too soon, the next morning I woke up with numerous bites.  I think the authorities must have dropped their spraying campaign too soon.

I also think the spraying campaign has ended.  Yesterday a chap with a hand sprayer came round to spray our pool, we declined for the moment as we are still swimming but in about two weeks we''ll let him do it.

We have an apartment fairly close to the Samira Deluxe and were visited by the "men-in-purple" about 2 weeks ago.

They sprayed around and about and even down the loos and basins inside the apartment.

We too had very few mossie bites this time around and appreciate the work of these fine chaps.

They were spraying the town last night. We didn''t have any bites in the last 2 weeks when we were in Kalkan. It is much improved from 3 years ago.
