Ok, maybe another "old wives tale", but, I heard somewhere way back that the mozzies home in on the carbon-dioxide that you breath out..
Not the aftershave or the b.o. that attracts them, and they can't recognise dinner when it lies down.. (not like some people here...
)
So, I have always used a normal standing fan when I go slumming it at my mates game farm, or anywhere else in darkest Africa - as long as there is electricity, that is, and even in winter, makes the duvet and the human heater alongside sooo much better..
Even with a net, the blasted bzzzzzzzzz keeps me awake and swatting at 'em, no such hassles with the fan. It supposedly blows all the carbon-dioxide away and the b@stards cannot get a lock-on on dinner... also, apparently they cannot land in the breeze, no, really, I'm serious...
Yeah, I know.. outside at the braai is still a problem, use Tabard..
Oh, and Flyhard - MARMITE is MUCH better...!!!
