mosquitoes . . .

I'm assuming that its only when you arrive on a late flight you need to take precautions.....I never seem to be bothered until after the witching hour.....then its on with the Zofff and Vera Wang for men they dont like it.......

Got back from Kalkan yesterday (Sat 4th June) didn't see a single mosquito!

With everyone's attention having been on matters aquatic for the last few weeks, has anyone seen or heard the mozzie spraying trucks or men around town?  I was in a restaurant last night with one of the ultraviolet bug zappers and it was going off every few seconds!

Mozzies love damp, wet conditions, no water no mozzies.....

But has anyone told the mozzies that, or more importantly, the olive flies?

I was in Kalkan in the second and third week of June and the mozzie spraying lorries were busy going round, certainly in the Kalamar Road part of Ortalaan so assume they were spraying everywhere.

I was bitten once or two but tossed down some extra antihistamine tablets and put some gel on the bites and and the itch went away.    I did put on plenty of deet and sprayed my room before going out each evening.   Gave it an extra spray on returning and used the time waiting for the worst of the smell to evaporate by having an extra glass of something elsewhere.   No hardship.

Overall would say that the mozzies were no real problem this year for me and certainly didn't spoil the Kalkan magic.    In fact had as many nibbles by something in the garden in London yesterday when the weather was gloriously hot and sunny.
