Anopheles females usually fly at dawn and dusk, they fly about 9" above the ground. The females are after your blood to feed up their eggs.. .They fly silently, so if you hear mozzies buzzing they ain't anopheles. . .One of the best remedies is to spray "peaceful sleep" around your ankles and lower legs before sundown. Avoid standing around braais in shorts and spray the room where you are going to sleep with copious amounts of "Doom".. .A net will help alot, though they can bit you through it!. .V1 Rotate.
