Hi, any predictions on how much if a pest they'll be this year , just wondered if the cold spring would have affected them. I react badly to their bites so im prepping up with sprays etc.

Coils in brass container hanging outside bivvy door . . .creates an invisible forcefield against all flying blighters . . .
Just be careful if the wind changes tho - you can wake up with a headache if inhaling fumes all night . . .

I normally fish rivers without a bivvy so coils aren't much use to me , just wanted to sound out if this years curse would be any different to previous years

Im exactly the same and always have been
Then i went to Thailand and got proper done
I was due to go back out there a few months later and was advised by hotel staff when i go back take Vitamin B12 for 2 weeks before we go back there 1 per day.
I did so and never got touched once, but you must keep taking them every day through summer
Ive actually been bitten already this year so now im back on them and wont stop until Autumn.
Ive been hospitalised through being bitten by them before aswell
Ive done all the sprays going including pure Deet used by my nephew in Afghanistan and the little f##kers have still done me
Apparently they dont like the yeast that the B12 releases
Hope this helps you and any others that are bad when bitten by the little sh#ts

Thailand ,Philippines, France, Spain, Greece,Germany, Holland, Belgium,
are countries where I did not get bitten by Mozzies while friends around me got bitten to hell !
why ??
Cos I used 2 things Incognito mozzie repellent (you need to reapply it after 6 hours )
AND mozzie coils BUT NOT THE DANGEROUS CRAP SOLD HERE !!! you need coils based on Geranium oil get mine from France they work superbly and wont give you head aches etc like the rubbish sold here
EDIT JUST FOUND OUT VAPONA ANTI WASP & MOSQUITO COIL GERANIUM PERFUME are available here
cheapest place I found for Incognito products LINKY POO

. . stick the coil holder on a bankstick if fishing out in the open or under a brolly . . .they still work and you'll be unlikely to get bitten by any flying vampire within a 10ft radius . . .

Link to Geranium coils please Gerry?
In the meantime see here - Incognito products
Wonder if the room refresher would work as a non burning option in the bivvy?

I remember fishing Sutton park in Midlands for the bream and tench,watching a quiver type all night with a starlight on the tip Me and my mate must have been around 18 so over 30 years ago and we set up in the swampy type swims,we had the crawling over us you could feel them even with hoodies and the ties pulled right up over our faces it was horrible,still caught though even though we looked like we had a bad cast of spots.
Much better now in terms of what can be used,I'm sure Gardner used to do a type of repellent a friend had one when I lived in Southampton really good not sure they are still available.

Yes that works, I use jungle formula in spray , factor 4 the strongest, can get from chemist etc, very good, get the factor 3 or 4 , not the 1 or 2 strength, always works for me.
