Just returned to Spain, what is going on with the mosquitoes ? been eaten alive, never known anything like it in past five years. Looking for recommendations for screens for patio doors and windows, at war with the little blighters .

Hi try Ferri in Villena they make them to measure Windows and doors in the mean time get plug ins keep them in day and night. Look around your property for water trapped in buckets on top of bags they will find any to lay there young

There will be more of the wee blighters after the recent heavy rains helped provide ideal breeding grounds.

Thanks to everyone, we have lavender plug ins in the very room, and use lavender body lotion but still the wee blighters bite, 23 bites in 4 days 😒 no stagnant water lying around, waiting on quotes for screens etc

Obviously lavender plug inns and lotion not working. You need to use lotion with 50% Deet and proper mozz plug inns.
Yeah, it is proper mosquito plug ins, also trying aqua de colonia which was recommended , got three different creams from pharmacia for bites. Never known it this bad.
Thanks Jan
