We experianced mossies on the second week of our hol in sunny beach last year start of july really bad. though this was due to the heavy rain of teh previous week before we went. the eggs take 7 to 10 days to hatch so worth keeping an eye on teh weather before u travel :wink:

Hi guys, does anyone know if there is much of a problem with mozzie's in sunny beach at the moment. Want to be prepared this year and with the recenct heat wave i suspect they may be a problem. We go on the 13th August for 2 weeks :sun

I only got bitten when i was there when i was playing crazy golf and had to wander into the bushes to retrieve my ball :oops: :P . We bought mossibands from the supermarket and i used avons soft and fresh oil at nights and they seemed to work. Thankfully it was only me who got bitten and my 5 year old escaped. I dont think its a major problem.

Just got back from Golden Sands yesterday. No probs with mozzies for about 12 days then BANG we all got bitten. Maybe it's just coming up to Mozzy season there.

You don't have to go to Bulgaria for them, have been bitten enough in our garden this year, the little *&%$"s!
