I get that with all of the rain and then the heat the mosquitoe population has exploded but will nature balance things out and produce loads of spiders & bats to compensate or are we screwed from now on?

I have never had problems in our garden and then we had a party Friday and everyone woke up eaten alive. There was over 30 mozzies in the house and millions in the garden.
I can only assume they are having a whale of a time in the neighbours pond but will we go back to the normal amount?
Also, other then nets is there anything else you guys use to keep them out

Spray yourself with Autan. Works for me.

Only the female mosquitoes bite. The males are harmless vegetarians who live on the nectar of flowers.

Bloody typical.

I know both of the above and do have some pray on deet - that feels crap and sticky, I'm considering buying one of those plug in things that sprays out a sent that keeps them away... - like a fart machine to keep fit women away.

Do these really work? I could put them all over the garden and even fishing...

We've got anti-moz screens on the patio doors, back door and all the windows including the velux ones in the attic. Which means everything is nice and open to cool down from the 27oC the living room hit earlier today - and not a mozzie to be seen!

Raid! Sprayed in closed room in the early evening

You can get all types of repellents,even plug in ones,you know like the glade plug in air fresh,except its insect repellent.Your high street chemist should have them.The most popular usually contain a chemical called DEET,it was developed by the US Army for jungle warfare,but if you spray it on yourself,it has been known to cause skin irritation etc,keep it away of your eyes and lips,You can also get DEET free sprays now..

not had any problems with them in our place so far. But then we dont have a pond or water nearby.
went to my mates the other day just down the road though and got swarmed by them in the late evening.

Brilliant thanks for this.. I've just purchased some and will do a rictule (ow er) and dance around calling on the fish gods

Also for this weekends party I don't want my guests getting eaten alive and thinking it's dog fleas - like the last party

DYK

I could just imagine you garden full of Joss sticks everywhere and the look on guests faces as they enter the garden of Human Sacrifice....

Don't forget to play some Enigma music

With climate change we'll be getting the Malaria ones in a few years. Then you'll need to worry

The anopheles ones are much less irritating I found out our trip to Zambia in the winter,until they kill you of course

Can't see it happening here we can afford to spray
