dgbrit 258 Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 In May/June out in the countryside we get Noseeums millions of them they get everywhere bite turns into a welt that you are dying to scratch looks like you have been machine gunned They will get you anywhere you have exposed skin or up your trouser legs & around your belt line In your ears they sound like a F1 car, A couple of days with temps over a 100 they are gone. Nothing seems to scare them off & one thing I learned is don't leave your car window open you will have them for a week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colwickite 35 Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 If you cram cotton wool into a small tub (say) like an Aspirin one, pour the citronella and baby oil on top of it, no leaks no splashes! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 My wife gets bitten to shreds and so did my late mother. I'm lucky. They don't bite me. I must have poisonous blood. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Karlton 582 Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 if I remember as a kid we would rub on a dock leaf for a nettle sting. in me trade I worked with hot bitumen as a roofer and many adult would say I bet thats hot mate, and i'd reply oh yes it cures toothache, does it really? they'd say. Oh yes dip yer finger in you'll forget all about yer toothache. I wouldn't recomend it though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
