Hello everyone - I live in an area heavily populated by mosquitoes (Aedes albopictus). Luckily they don't carry any diseases here, but they bite constantly and the itching is enough to drive you mad.
When I put my guinea pigs out on the lawn to graze, they're immediately swamped by a swarm of mosquitoes that go straight for their ears.
Tabard and Peaceful Sleep are topical mosquito repellants I use on my own skin, but even I find the smell overwhelming and my skin reacts poorly, so I'm extremely hesitant to try them on my pigs. Does anyone have any ideas for how to keep the mosquitoes away from my pigs? I know most members are UK-based, so your experience with mosquitoes might be limited, but other biting insects behave similarly!
