The one thing that could have ruined our life on the road 

Hi Paul and Wenda I've been enjoying your travels for some time now very much. On the subject of bugs. Try K mart for the gas cans $4.50 last time I checked checked. Cheers Mick

I just happened to come across you two & I must say I’m hooked. Love the interaction between you 😆

I’m with Paul Running out of Bacon 😂😂😂

Those "Enviro Safe" fly traps work really well. Unfortunately they smell like rotting road kill after the first few hundred flies have died.

good to see you guys in 2024 - hope you have a great year travelling Oz!

Thanks for the video- so many great ideas 😊 You could also try wearing light coloured clothing and hats. Mosquitoes are attracted to dark colours. Fly nets for hats work well too.

Hi guys. Mostly found in horse supply stores, this product is all natural. Can be used on any surface including your skin and clothes. Called natures botanical. Have used this for many years and almost never been bitten. Made with rosemary and sandelwood

Great to see you both back for 2024. Have you tried the old fashioned mozzie coils & how do they compare with the newer electronic & gas powdered repellants? Our tip after being bitten & shredding our legs scratching from Sandfly & Midge bites, a mate in Derby advised applying a layer of SOOZ, which can be purchased from chemists, once dry then apply a layer of normal alcohol based hand sanitiser also rubbing into the red blotches. It was incredible, after a few applications every few hours, the itching went away & redness disappeared after a few days.

I saw on the feel-good family. A man tells them old beer, cheap mouth wash, and Epsom salt. Spray your whole area

Happy New Year to you both 🤗 Looking forward to more in 24 💕😊👍🏽

Great detailed subject, why ruin your trip with bits and stings.🌟 One month at Mullumbimby NSW.....Be hard to take🤠🤠

I think the saying you are looking for is; "If you think an individual can't make a difference, you've never spent the night in a tent with a mosquito." An African proverb quoted by the Dalai Lama.

Hi Guys, have just discovered your channel & enjoying it. Thanks for the tips for mossie/fly etc. when I’m camping I find the mossie coils useful & when attacked by the midges use Soov from a chemist. Cheers & thanks

Hi guys, we were just wondering, what your use of doterra oils was for mozzies and midgies? We saw them on your table, but you didn't discuss them.

Great Video, loved it. A winner😊😊

Brilliant thanks

A dr told me in Broome depends on your blood type makes a difference to if you get bitten I get eaten alive and hubby gets nothing

16:50 gadgets like that need to be placed upwind and moved around appropriately as the wind direction changes.

That was very informative Thank you

Where did you get your table from that’s between you both please

You guys are the best we will be hitting the road in 2025 in our evernew van hope to catch up on the road

I've heard that Kakadu is often referred to as "Kakadont" due to insects etc.

I was given this recipe years ago by a lady who was a caravaner. Tub of sorbelene cream, about teaspoon of detox depending on the size of your sorbelene cream, plus few drops of pure citronella oil, I usually buy it from chemist. Mix it all together, we find it works a treat. You do smell a bit of citronella but it works

Thank you ❤

Try bentonite clay for bites, burns, cuts, grazes. Instantly soothes and heals

Hi We wondering what is GVM on your car Caravan And combined Thankyou Melinda and Eric

Thanks guys, just catching up :)

Hi Paul and Wenda, Another great episode. Thankyou for all the good info on the thermocell type products. I will certainly look into which one would best suit our needs. We also use good riddance as my husband suffers terribly from midgie bites. I did come across a very effective product called "midgie magic" by Hidden Valley in Broome for any bites that may occur. Might be worth a try down the track Wenda. Keep up the great work. 🦟🦟

Hey Paul & Wenda, Happy New Year. Thanks for all the info, there were some great tips! Looking forward to seeing your 2024 adventures. Stay safe & enjoy your travels. Corrie & Lyn ❤

When in the Solomon Islands I was told that Vitamin B deterred mozzies, and reduced the chance of getting malaria. They said that the best local source of vitamin B was Sol Brew. The national beer! I'm not sure if the beer stops the bites, or that after enough beers you just don't notice any more. Unfortunately, as I don't drink I wasn't able to test the theory. :)

I heard a fly man on abc radio. He says flies are female feeding for young egg. So when it finds you it keeps coming back, male flies like flowers. Next hippies taught me, mozzie bits, crystal deodorant that you screw out. Condies crystal in its ingredient.

Thanks for the info. It was really useful. It would be great if you could list each of the products in the description. Many thanks. Happy travels.

Very useful. I find post being bitten paw paw cream works well. Takes itch out of mossie bites. Also good for many other situation.

Wondering where you got your photos on your walls from? Love your videos very helpful.

As always guys very informative. Sadly we tend to only look for these deterrents when we are being attacked. Think we need to rethink our approach to bug management. 😂 great to see you both again stay safe.

Is it true that the flying pests are seasonal and worse at different times? Where and when is best avoided?

Great video, thanks very much. We have just purchased the #flextail and are looking forward to testing. Am keen also to try the creams and spray. Can you advise where you purchased these?

I hear mozzies flys and cockroches don't like lemon grass , you could have a lemon grass plant in a pot in kitchen window put in sink when travelling also lemon grass incents

great video guys

Love you two ❤
