Oscarben,

Mozzies leave all my family alone, but they love me (grr!)
We always use the plug ins and *touch wood* they seem to work!
(It's far too stuffy/hot to leave windows etc shut.)

But, we've never been to Kenya so I don't know if they would work there.
They might do. I would take them and try them.

Digby,

I eat loads of garlic anyway - especially when abroad - and take Vitamin B compound tablets
(starting 2 weeks before we go away) which are supposed to put the little blighters off - they
don't work for me - athough I know many people who swear by them.

I found that Autan worked quite well, (got just a few bites) but then last year in my "wisdom"
I picked up a cheaper version.
Never again - I was bitten alive!

So, I am now armed and ready for this years hols with Avon's SSS (green top) and my Autan,
together with our loyal plug ins for the living room and bedroom.

One tip I have picked up from others on the web is stuff called Mosquito Milk.
Reading about it from other people, it seems to have worked where everything else has failed.

Hope these tips are of some help.
