kizzy Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Just back from a week in the three cities area of Malta and the mozzys are totally mental, bitten to fcuk and been told they get worse later in the month, just glad I didn't have the kilt on. You have been warned!!!! Its the Asian tiger mosquito's thats the culprit so take some spray especially if you have kids with you. http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20110511/local/No-escaping-the-Tiger-mosquito.364750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottincarlisle Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Heard an article on Radio Cumbria this morning about things you always take on holiday. Apparently Marmite is good to repel mozzies. It didn't actually say if you were to eat it or wear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenblueeyes Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 No bites in Malta but got a corker in Rome. I only get bitten at this time of year. Apparently, it's getting to the end of the season and the wee feckers go on a feeding frenzy before dying out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
