Mosquitoes are clever little suckers that, much like vampires, don’t like bright sunlight and only come out at dusk to feast on human blood. They are a bane of the sunset BBQ and, if you don’t take precautions, you can find yourself a mosquito magnet and getting bitten all over.

Pets can also suffer, especially dogs and cats, if they are bitten by the Paralysis Tick.
