 Increase in Insects With global warming we are seeing mosquitos and biting insects more often in England and other parts of the world. My travels to overseas country, plus living in Spain, the USA and Singapore has tught me a lot about prevention, and cure. Anti- Insect Clothes - Cautious Cover-up Your first line of defence is to cover up as much as possible.  My Japanese friend Yumi was playing golf in Singapore and Malaysia.

I don't know what spiders catch, supposedly flies, but despite trails of abandoned webs showing spiders have been snaking about at night, the spiders are not doing a good job on moths where I have been in Singapore and London.  In both Singapore and London in the UK I have had moth-eaten clothes and edges to carpets and moths flying about.  I see moths flying towards light bulbs.
