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

PS: Now I understand why the windows have screens!

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

After this week's extreme heat and extremely low humidity, I think
the problem will soon be gone. Although mosquitos are occasionally
annoying in southern California, they are not a serious problem
unless you live adjacent to a persistent wetland or some other
breeding area (e.g., ornamental pond without fish).
