April - lock yourself in ...seal all windows and doors...and dont come out until October.
ARGH...Crafty...you beat me to it
but seriously, I have been bitten 7 times this year already - granted, work means that I am usually to be found in one of their fave hangouts come early evening...but still!!
last week searched for all manner of stuff to deter the pesky bleeders and heres what I came up with:
avoid eating bananas as they contain a lot of potassium and the little G**s love it; wear light coloured clothes - they seem to be attracted to darker forms; take vitamin B1 - cant remember why ; natural oils to make use of include:- catnip, lemon thyme, pennyroyal, rosemary and that Godawful Citronella stuff. They dislike smoke.
Apparently Texans favor smothering themselves with a mixture of olive oil and mexican liquid vanilla in order to deter the little bleeders. Available at all good corner shops!
But what I have actually resorted to are.....Lots and lots of chemicals..in me... on me ...around me.
100% DEET - all the better! ( well maybe not in me, that may just be taking the DEET fetish a little too far, being that DEET is highly toxic n all)

Make sure that you have a hefty intake of garlic. This should keep mosquitoes and other vampires away.

Not in this country they won't, but if you are off somewhere like sub-saharan africa then use 100% deet and take a course of tablets.
