Have you smelt that stuff Lorna uses? Its gorgeous. I've had cintronella candles and incense burning pretty much throughout the summer... need to carry on for a while.
 
I am in Staffordshire and visited the vets with my bunnies today - we discussed Myxi, and he said that he is not aware of any cases local to us yet.

whereabouts in Staffs, I'm in Burton and there have been loads and loads :cry:
 
If you live near wild rabbits then as well as the jabs i would put on a repelent on your rabbits There are a few but i use zentex that i get from the vet its about £13 but if you only have a couple of rabbit it should last you a season.Ive planted lavender around my sheds and hung it inside but not noticed a decline in the flies. Fine mesh over there cages should keep the mossie out. Bear in mind that they come out at about teatime and through the night. I would have them in there cages before then. val
 
We've got one but it doesn't seem to help, actually we have two :roll: so the whole pond surface moves but they still gather :?

We might have to get rid of it :(
 
I am so lucky my fountain stops any mosquito's going near the pone, the fish also probably help as if anythng gets laid in the water, it is immediate dinner :lol:
