\n It’s almost impossible to get away from mosquitoes but I swear by Marmite as an effective repellant (eaten not applied) my wife takes Vit B supplements which seems to have the same effect.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

\n The electric bug repellants are only safe for pets who are at least 7 kg. That leaves out most cats and many small dogs. Be sure to read the directions!\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n I\u2019m the opposite to the previous commenter. I\u2019m eaten alive every year by these little beasts. The only consolation \u2014 it seems to itch less than it used to!\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n I’ve lived in Italy for nearly 10 years and can count the number of mosquito bites I’ve had on one hand.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
