For more than half of the year, all that we look forward to are sunnier days and warmer evenings ahead. By the time they finally roll around, we relish in the arrival of consistent vitamin D, Aperol Spritzes on terraces and gorgeous loose-fitting linen.
Yet every year without fail, we curse the existence of summertime pests such as mosquitos and midges which threaten to thwart our enjoyment of the great outdoors, especially during particularly hot nights. Slathering ourselves in deet and natural mozzie repellents is all well and good, but the dastardly insects always seem to find a way through the topical forcefield.
