I think we would want to put one in the lounge as (like Spotty) I am allergic to mossies and there is be a small stream right outside our garden fence and running through the complex so we wont be able to keep the doors open in the evening anyway I guesse. Ron, still no email with details, are you having problems getting through to me?  :)Thank heavens you are all so knowledgeable and coming up with all these ideas, I wouldn't know where to start otherwise! :)

Just an idea for people who worry about keeping the downstairs doors shut - I have seen mozzie doors made - that are fitted just inside the main doors thus allowing the main doors to be open and the mozzies at bay. This might mean you don't necessarily need to have aircon downstairs.

I have mozzie nets but after hours of chasing haven't managed to catch a single mozzie yet  :)

Hi Scunner
Whenever we come to Turkey we have no problem catching the mozzies!
We just make sure Pauline sits with her G&T anywhere in sight of water and she catches them all on her ankles. Nobody else within 50 yards seems to get bitten. I am considering hiring her out for parties, BBQ's etc but not until she can get a proper work permit!
Otherwise, my experience in Canada leads me to believe that the mosquito-net doors are the next best thing. A bit awkward though when we're down on the beach.
regards,

farmer

We've been bitten each time we've been to Turkey, Aug, Oct, April, June. Not badly and only when we've forgotten to apply mozzie spray but they seem to find us any time of the year.
