I sleep with the windows open and haven't heard a buzz or woken up with bites at all.

Am I the only one noticing this?

I had one in my room yesterday but that's about it

Do we even have mozzies? I thought we just had midges in this country. Maybe I don't know what a mozzy is.

Didn't know they existed in the UK

And there was me thinking I'd just done a good job controlling water sources in the garden...

If you get frogs and dragonflies, that's a win

I get dragonflies, but not frogs.

In seriousness, I have just try to spot when I've left something in the garden that gathered water, to stop mozzies.
One day, I might try doing a pond, and managing it properly.

I had a mozzy dancing on my phone screen while I was trying to watch pornhub in the dark

I have 4 active bites and squashed one in the bathroom earlier!

But the wasps have appeared in the last couple of days.
