Slight OT post ... so, having moved to LA from England, and having largely
completed the unpacking we've started to turn our attention to the garden.
Last night while planting in the twilight I got eaten alive by mosquitoes
(or at any rate little insecty things). I'm not too keen on slapping on
anti-bug stuff all over myself ... what do other folks do to keep the
mosquitoes at bay? Are these blue zapper lights any good?

TIA

What part of California? Our climates vary from alpine, through
Mediterranean and near-tropical, to desert.
