Help needed please.....off to Spain/France in June. Wanting to buy deterrent for flies/mozzies

- can anyone recommend a low wattage electric zapper (similar to those used in restaurants) - most online seem too powerful for the electric available on most european sites. 

- or good citronella candles (those made with cit. oil in are needed - not just fragranced)

- or an effective 'tennis racquet' style swatter.  thanks

I rarely get bitten and even when I do it doesn't bother me, however OH is a walking blood bank for them. He gets a terrible reaction to them at times, used to be worse when he was younger (probably drunk more alcohol then wink) these days with the antihistamine he doesn't seem to get bad ones.

According to a diabetic dietician beer increases blood sugar but spirits generally reduce it  ............. that's my excuse anyway

Hi ET, depends on your spirit, probably whisky and gin ok, but rum and coke could be suicide!   Rum is made from sugar, very fattening too!
