Went down the lottie this afternoon and have come home with about 20
bites. The buggers even got through a long sleeved top! Anyway, I recall
a discussion last year when an Avon product was mentioned as the best way
to keep the little sods at bay. Could someone please remind me what it
was?
TIA

Kathy, who's feeling decidedly itchy and trying very hard not to scratch
her hands :-{

A friend who works an allotment miles away was telling me down the pub last
night that he is being bitten by something that looks like a little flying
beetle, like larger flea beetle, actually draws a spot of blood and itches
like mad afterwards. Despite finding them on himself he hasn't managed to
kill one yet, swats them but they are so tough they just fly away.
We had similar on our old allotment site years ago but luckily they don't
appear to have got to our new one, yet.
