Guest annie Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 hi. we are planning a move to Bunbury. We have just come back from holiday in Italy and have all been badly bitten by mosquitoes. Can anyone tell me what the situation is in Bunbury re mossies. They really love me and i have heard things like eating marmite and b vitamins can help deter them. i have been looking at rental properties online and haven't seen any mosquito nets on windows/doors. are there particular areas that might be more affected in Bunbury? thanks, annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a break! Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Most houses do have fly screens in the windows. I always wear mossie spray when I go out except in winter, and always carry anti hystimines to take the minute Ive been bitten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piccolo Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Hi annie....well yes they are here alright and they just love my OH. I haven't been bitten yet but he has a few. Most houses here have security screen doors and on the windows so you just have to be vigilant about closing those over when you go outside to do something. Also the local shire has a webpage devoted to how you can deal with them, like buying plants that emit citronella and deter them or burning citronella candles etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest annie Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Thanks everyone for all the tips. i love plants so it will be a good excuse to build a mosquito unfriendly garden. will make sure to get a rental with screens also as my daughter gets bitten in ireland in the winter so i cant imagine how she will cope over there. I have heard that they love sweet blood so i guess i could look at that too!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
