Insects - Mosquitoes and Sandflies

Due to our wetter environment, South Westland is home to the infamous Sandfly (daytime) and Mosquito (night-time). For your comfort, keep your windows and doors shut at night to block out any Mosquitoes. There is fly spray available in the cupboard underneath the kitchen sink for any that should get in. We also sell Tui Bug Balm at Reception.
