Are the mossies still about

[lizcoy]

hi to all, have the mossies settled down now or are they still bad .never had a problem with them before in icmeler compared to other resorts x

[reesy1959]

We returned a week past Saturday and never had any problems. The mossie man is still about on a daily basis spraying everywhere.

[Kalof]

The mossie van is out every night and sometimes during the day spraying down the drains. I can't say that we have had a mossie problem but I have seen a couple of people who obviously have reacted to bites quite badly. I think it's the luck of the draw in some respects, if you are a mossie magnet they are going to find you! As long as you take the necessary precuations then you should be fine.

Lots of mossies still about due to excess rain and therefore standing water. I was fine using my Skin so soft.Tony got badly bit and then used skin so soft!Ha! I would say take every precaution. I saw some right messes that had to be lanced.

We arrived back on Sunday. We have never had any problems with the mossies before but were both bitten to death this time round. The mossie man does not seem to be spraying as regularly and despite taking garlic capsules and using the Avon dry oil spray, the mossies still had a field day. The fire brigade were out in the Old Village whilst we were there spraying down the canal to try and kill them off, but we were told by one of the locals that they are such a problem this year as the winter was mild so didn't kill them off as usual. Take plenty of repellent.
