Mosquitos

[Dutchie]

Start taking B vitamins a couple of weeks before you come out and the mossies will stay away.

This will be our 5th visit in 12days time...not that i'm counting. Never been bitten. Is this because we have always been the first two weeks in May??

Perhaps thats the same time the mozzies go on hols !

We had occasions when we were plagued with them in the house. We would zap one then ten minutes later another one would buzz by. We have nets on all windows and all doors, and were paranoid about keeping them shut at all times. However whilst visitng one of the bathrooms I noticed four in there. I had only previously cleared this room half an hour ago. It was the extractor fan, which extracted into a large chimney like cavity. I removed the front cover of the fan and placed netting over the inside face. The fan itself is situated a good 6 inches away so there is no way of fouling. Havnt had 1 mosquito in the place for over a week now.

Just back. I used skin so soft shower gel, followed by skin so soft body lotion
Then covered myself in jungle spray. 11 bites on my legs in the first 5 days. Then changed to
Sin kov and no more bites. I didn't see the spray truck at all in the 10 day visit. It definitely made a difference
In previous years.

have never seen so many of the bloomin things as on this trip we also had four in the bedroom one night (mozzies that is  )and was forever spraying the room with raid... we did hear the sprayers one night about 10.30 ish...
we saw one poor lady on the prom whose legs were just smothered in bites and looked swollen I really felt for her...

Hi, what is sin kov, and where do i buy it? In calis?
Thanks

Just returned from calis. Saw mozzie sprayer once, ok till last day when temperature soared to 43 deg. Spent all way home with ice wrapped round both ankles suffering from bad bites.  My companion bought 1 of the bracelet anti-bites on the plane on way out but still got bitten.  Since being back have discovered at least a dozen bites now smothered in sudocream!!

Sin Kov is anti mosquito liquid, most of the corner shop markets sell it, it's definitely on the shelf in the Melissa supermarket in Gunlukbasi, we bought some yesterday. 3.50tl for a 100 ml bottle.

That's very cheap Rimms, I paid 6 tl for 100mls in Fethiye .  Many years ago in Fethiye  it was readily available everywhere but this year I could only find it in Pharmacies.   I could find "Off"in lots of shops  but not the original Sin Kov.
