RV FEATURE
I ’ ll even ensure our little 12V zappers are charged and on before and during bedtime . Even though they seem to work more for mozzies , I ’ ll try every trick in the book to prevent this terrible experience from happening again . The more flying insects that can be attracted to the light , the better .
Although we have mesh screens in our campervan and all my other swags , tents and camping gear , having fine midge-proof mesh is an important consideration .
As a last resort , I ’ d be willing to look like a fool wandering around camp with an electronic swatter – you know , the ones that look like a small tennis racket , aiming for anything that might fly within reach of my backhand stroke . It might not make any difference , but it would add some humour to our camping experience .
MARK ’ S WISE WORDS
Travel isn ’ t always easy or comfortable . It ’ s often hard , painful and itchy , but it is always worth the pain , tears and wounds , so let your travels teach and change you for the better . Scratch , learn from your experience and move to the next campsite !
Twelve-volt zappers work well for mozzies , but if they zap just one midge , I ’ ll be happy .
