It has been one week since the move and there are issues… well one big issue; mosquitoes and loads of them. The best thing about living in the South is basically being outside and still doing the things you need to do. Having breakfast, a coffee or lunch but also working and reading are all done outside in a quiet and warm environment. However towards the evening, there is an army of flying things that slowly takes over the place and starts eagerly kissing every human that is in its way. The results are interesting, legs and arms looking like a raisin bread gone wrong and the itching arrrrhhhhhhh. So the time has come that the new landlord starts to take control and shows them who is Boss!
A quick visit to the DIY store to stock the ammunition to start the battle. Two socket plugs with 24x7 lethal smell (whatever that means), two bottles of liquid citronella to fill up to burners, a can of spray and those funny circles that you burn slow also in citronella.
First evening all is put into action with mixed results. My philosophy is simple; you create something that smell bad to mosquitoes, they than will close their nose with one hand and obviously flying with one arm is impossible and they crash and burn, simple as that.
Turns out that some wear protective head gear or something cos the quantity has been reduced but the few still flying around seem to be ex Tour de France flyers (eg EPO filled) and strong as any Citronella tool.
I need to find an alternative tool that will win me the battle before I turn into a spotty looking guy with an bizarre itch…
