Avon Calling !!!!

Nice one madelinew

Kevin & Jayne

I think they are refering to the use of fly sprays etc within the tent.  I can not see any reason not to use fly papers or you tablets.  A word of warning about fly papers, remember to take it out BEFORE you fold up the tent!  It takes ages to clean up if you do not.

I hear that if you eat marmite you will not be bothered by mossies.

You can buy a battery powered ultra violet bug/fly killer on ebay, it electrocutes them (like what you get in cafes).  We bought one for £9.00.  We've tested it and it works.

I agree avon skin so soft is the best ever, I`ve tried everything but this is the best.

I tried it abroad in malaria zone countries and it kept them away but silly me( I`m new to camping ) never thought about taking it with us last weekend. I`m still itcing now with the bites.Will def remember to pack it for our next trip out.

Travel Bug

They've just modified the name - I think it's Soft and Fesh' now - anyway - you need the DRY OIL for it to work - it comes in a green spray bottle.

Hope this helps and I hope it works for you - (and me!)

By the Way - I tried to get one of the mozzie lamp things from Aldi - as usual they all disappeared before I could get there - should be on Ebay sometime soon.. even one of the managers reckons it'd be a good idea to hold some stock back for late in the day to 'reward' the workers who shop there and spend lots of moey.. no offfence meant by this - it's just we can't get to the store in time for the best things and yet we can be good customers..

Think I feel a letter to head office coming on...
