Hi all

Is it me or.........

For the past month, we seem to have been plagued by mossies.
Plagued is far too strong a word of course, but the night time ritual now
includes vacuuming upto a dozen of the things from around the bedroom
(they do infiltrate other rooms as well obviously).

Is there a known increase in numbers this year? Possibly due to wet
weather earlier in the year?

TIA

Funny you should say that, only this morning I was thinking that we haven't
had ANY mosquitoes this year. Usually I see the larvae under the surface of
the open dolly tub which acts as a butt at one side of the greenhouse but
there's been no sign in 2007.

Before anyone tells me, I put a few drops of oil on the surface of the water
when I see the larvae.
