Especially up in Scotland, camped by a river up there when I was a teen and got swarmed by them

My point exactly......

Not had any problems here - yet. Plenty of irritating thunderbugs around though. Dreading the flying ants descending - and the wasps.

Darn it have know been bitten on the toe, right where my flip flops go ##

Well, I can heartily recommend Avon's Skin So Soft product for reducing bites when out and about - doesn't smell too bad either.

The SAS also use it when out and about on manoevers wherever there's an insect problem too.

Thanks Peekay, much better for your skin, I'm not a fan of citronella either though, I end up smelling like my kitchen floor

Gonna need to try that then Peekay.. certainly would smell a lot better than jungle juice.....

Lol I know, it's only because I've done a lot of travelling in Asia and when you have to wear this stuff every day for 6 months at a time you do get tired of it

Aw I miss geckos, maybe I could get a few for the house....
The dog has taken to trying to snap at every fly that goes past him in the house, he hasn't managed to get one yet

I used to have a cat that was partial to daddy longlegs. She'd grab one then stroll away with the legs sticking out the side of her mouth like extra whiskers

That's just it though - you don't. It's a fresh musky smell that isn't too strong, so its suitable for blokes as well as the ladies.

Trust me - I wouldn't wear the kitchen floor stuff meself.

Loads of bugs and nasties around this year, I read that there are few wasps about (havent seen one yet) due to the really wet weather, that must have a knockon effect.

Got stug by a horsefly last week..bloody hurt

I haven't seen any wasps yet either, I hadn't really noticed it but now I think about it.... I saw a hornet for the first time ever in the UK though last weekend... a small one by hornet standards... horsefly are a pain, evil creatures..

No shortage of wasps up here... chased three out of the window today already.. ....or maybe it was the same one on three seperate times.... #icon_rofl#
