Prevention is better than cure. When I hear that dreaded noise past my ear sitting at lunch, or trying to sleep in a hotel bedroom, I an instantly alert, distracted from rest.
I just watched the video on how to make a fly attractor and trap. I remember years ago being told about making a sugar syrup in a half buried bottle. This system adds yeast.
I was interested in what it said about how your body attracts mosquitos. Mostly at night, worse at night. But you can get bitten daytime, anytime you walk on grass, or just sit out around a dining table. I never sit outside, but I have friends and family who always want to sit outside. They think it's part of the joys of summer and holidays or being in a warm country, or off work, or at work taking a meal break.
Hot water, brown sugar and yeast - you must buy the yeast.
This works at home.
But travelling on business or on holiday you'd have to buy brown sugar and yeast and take them (or the portions needed) in the car/suitcase. (Plus a piece of old newspaper, big plastic bottle and tape - which are probably available at your holidays destination, but why leave it to chance. Alternatively pack fly repellent cream for your body and fly killer for the hotel bedroom, or put it on your packing list now.
As for that summer barbecue, garden party, march, or festival, even in the city centre, be prepared.
