Yeah, my mum was much the same, we moved around loads, so subsequently I am quiet reticent to move our daughter around too much, but I think I may have agreed to move back to the UK in 5-10 years.

I've ever actually seen a bug in the house here. When I was in Houston I saw "palmetto bugs" but I'm sure they were just roaches that were big enough to saddle - and they could fly. On an island north of Honduras (Roatan) I was eaten alive by bugs I couldn't see - they were called no see'ums but inexplicably something by Avon called Skin so Soft kept them at bay. Then there were mosquitos in Alaska - good God they would swarm thick enough to choke a moose! I never did find anything to consistently ward off Alaskan 'skeeters.

But back on topic (sort of) Buzz it seems you licked the bug problem, since you did start this thread as 10Pups notes...

When Skin so Soft was discovered to repel bugs,,there was a run on it like ammo today,,,Avon reps couldn't keep enough in stock,,,good stuff it is for bugs.

I'd toss some Eucalyptus on those Alaskan skeeters next time you see them.

One of my favorite parts of winter is that it gets rid of many bugs. Snow fleas are fun to watch though!
