Hello to all! First, I would like to know if there are flies or mosquitoes, or gnats? I am from WI-US and the joke goes that the mosquito is our state bird! Laughing

I hear you saying that screens are not common-does this mean, other than the spiders, there are no flying pests? Clapping

Next, Gerry--you are in Nelson. This is the first place my family and I are checking out. How do you like it? Also, how is the business going? Was it an existing business or did you start it new? Thanks for the info.
Terry

Terry,
I just had to comment on that mosquitos thing.You arn't kidding.I remember when we were there we bought a mosquito plant to ward them off and instead they loved the thing! And those horrid little orange ladybug type things that were everywhere.
Not that the bug situation is any better in Florida.It has been raining so we have palmetto bugs in our apartment.A Palmetto bug (for those who don't know)Is a giant flying cockroach.
I have waist length hair and my ultimate nightmare is to have one of those things fly into my hair Nutcase
