Bugs in Northern NT

Sounds okay, I guess that's what my estate does. They tell everyone living on the lower levels to close their windows when they do it - having signs in the foyer of each block.

Is it working?

Haven't tried it yet... we gotta find out if its safe for our dogs or not... and if it is, which is likely, gotta figure out a way to keep them away from the sprayed areas.

I think they are midges.
Issue No. 1: Biting Midges
Annoying, avoid the same way you avoid mozzies, probably not dangerous. Don't scratch. (Haha, so hard). Being Australian, I always put tea tree oil on things that itch. You could try that. At least you feel as though you are dong something while you try not to scratch it.

I think he's been eaten alive as the post was back in '07.

Having tried all the local anti-itch gels and creams, I found that good ol' Germolene (I presume a British brand?) has been the most effective at relieving the itching.
