weather clearing = mozzie delight

Rainy season is almost over as there are fewer rainy days than sunny ones, hooray!! The mozzies are out in force and seems to have these very nice white and grey striped legs. I have had a delivery of RID and these excellent little patches which look like a circular dot sticker and you stick them on your clothes. They are soaked with citronella and something else that smells nice. They are great to stick on the back of a small persons tshirt to keep the mozzies away. I also got a katori buta which is basically a ceramic pig which is hollow and you put mozzie coils inside. You put the pig with lit mozzie coil at the entrance of your doorways or windows or wherever you might be outside. The smoke comes out the pigs nose. I will put an image in later as it is kind of hard to describe.....I also heard that eating banana is a natural defence as they dont like the taste of something in your blood after you eat a banana...possibly an old wives tale....?
