It is our first summer in our house nears Ferrara. Our property is adjacent to a canal so we have a lot of mosquitoes in the evening. Is anyone aware of an effective repellant that does not contain a signify amount of deet?

That’s interesting to hear as we only renewed in September. Doesn’t bode well for the future. I think there was another company who quoted but were more expensive. I’ll see if I can find the details.

We had the same problem and it was only by chance that I noticed that earthquake cover was no longer included in our schedule. It took a while to find a company who would provide this cover by eventually went with Schofields. Their price was very competitive. Their U.K. number is 01204 365080. Goid luck! Shelagh

Thanks. We are getting used to the habits of zanzare so know when to expect them. Also in process of putting up screens - kit bought from our favourite DIY store Leroy Merlin.

Ah that’s really interesting. I was with a friend on the beach last week and she was bitten badly on her legs. It must have been these little blighters. The bites didn’t seem to respond to Fenistil which is a remedy we buy from the pharmacy and  find very effective for mosquito bites. Thanks for this info.

That’s v helpful. We are right next to a canal so no chance of avoiding them. Will try Autan. Can you send the treehugger link please. Cheers
