Ngaire, I live on the bay marsh, like Suzie (I think) where mosquitoes love beating out whatever you do to avoid them, especially at dusk! I'll test out the "waters" our first night. Here, even long pants don't help. They get through the fabric, or find your ankles. Remember the old movies when they had the mosquito netting over the safari "helmets"? At least we're not faced with that!
