Just how damp does the damp low lying damp land need to be?  |

Mosquitoes like to breed in damp places...ditches, ponds, swamps etc. with climate change we seem to be getting these warm wet summers which mosquitoes love. As Swindon gets increasingly concreted then more low lying areas are becoming prone to flooding, and so damp areas. |

Fact of the day: STFCLady does not like Marmite, and certainly does not have it on toast.
Mosquitoes don't like Marmite either.

Supplementary fact of the day: Guinness Marmite wasn't quite the "limited" edition it was cracked up to be, as all breweries skim the top off their ales and send them to Marmite.
It is called 'yeast extract'.

I'm just glad we don't get Tsetse flies here, but it's probably only a matter of time.
