Our neighborhood sprayed this awful white gas from a truck one or two times a week! I don't think it really helped but I don't know. Our solution to the mosquito net thing was to ditch the one point kind. Sienna got herself all tangled in them and Oscar just put his arm to the side and they bit him through the nets. We got 4 point nets. We got the largest size (king) and then installed them over all the beds. Then we tuck the loose side into the bottom of the mattress, because a lot of mosquitos will hide out under your bed during the day. This worked like a charm. We also put a strong fan on our beds and the nets would sway but not move out of the way because they were secured under the mattress. I also put a spray bottle in bed so that you can mist yourself and the with a fan it is pretty effective at lowering your bodies temp. enough to get to sleep. If you are ineterested in the 4 point kind I know of a great company that ship around the world : ) : ) : )<BR/> It makes bed time a bit of an ordeal but peaceful sleep for me was worth it!<BR/><BR/>AshAshley Dumashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548130652024676622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044945947832003194.post-51493806161925840202008-12-30T18:47:00.000-08:002008-12-30T18:47:00.000-08:00Sandra: We have screens too ~ never stopped a mozz...Sandra: We have screens too ~ never stopped a mozzie yet! They come straight through along with the sandflies! lol. Some of them are monsters. We call them the grey bombers because they're the size of a jet & sound about the same. They will bite through anything, including denim. I'm sure they have teeth instead of a probiscus thingy. We are over 83F in the shade today & totally melting. It is ghastly.Ganeidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176246964466185315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044945947832003194.post-81680810360022066162008-12-30T18:20:00.000-08:002008-12-30T18:20:00.000-08:00Have fun during your visit. i hope you all survive...Have fun during your visit. i hope you all survive!<BR/><BR/>Many people think the state bird of Minnesota is the Loon, but those of us who live here know it's the mosquito! But we have screens on our windows so they aren't a problem inside. Outside is another matter.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13915962999372304054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044945947832003194.post-51012178036856913522008-12-30T16:45:00.000-08:002008-12-30T16:45:00.000-08:00Ash: We have a huge mosquito problem.

We burn coils if they're really bad & have lamps we can use outside to little avail. Most of us can't sleep under nets though Ditz had one for a while ~ until she put her feet through it. Fans are pretty effective & we turn our ceiling fan on full bore if they're being a nuisance.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the well wishes & a HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all!Ganeidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176246964466185315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044945947832003194.post-31477558833175099542008-12-30T15:49:00.000-08:002008-12-30T15:49:00.000-08:00Have a nice trip and Happy New Year ! Do you guys...Have a nice trip and Happy New Year ! Do you guys have mosquito problems over there. I was shocked in Brazil with the mosquitos that filled up our house at night. We all slept under nets, but the brazilians do not. I don't get how they survive! I had to buy the nets in the US and ship them to myself in brazil. : )<BR/><BR/>Bye for now,<BR/><BR/>AshAshley Dumashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548130652024676622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044945947832003194.post-38100343050651776282008-12-30T15:19:00.000-08:002008-12-30T15:19:00.000-08:00Have a safe trip and a very Happy New YearxcHave a safe trip and a very Happy New Year<BR/><BR/>xcThe HoJo'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04535973575442294099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044945947832003194.post-72916477850327992472008-12-30T14:00:00.000-08:002008-12-30T14:00:00.000-08:00LOL I think Ditz might survive it.
