Biting flies

[Laurence and Leanne Knight <>]

Actually, round Brisbane in July/August, I would say that the answer is
generally no.  Since that time of year is the cool/dry season, mossies
are generally pretty thin on the ground.  We've just had a cool sunny
day on Lamington, and didn't see one mossie.

You would be more likely to come across mossies round the mangroves in
FNQ.  However, they probably use Bt round Cairns to control the
saltmarsh mossies.  However the buzzie types who broadcast dengue breed
around houses - but there should be less water lying round for them at
that time of year.

Simple answer, buy some Rid - to apply if you notice any biteys ...
