Mosquitoes in September

Do they have this problem in London in September, please? Do mosquitoes visit the upper floors, or stay close to the ground?

Mossies find me any where! Live south of england and no bites at all this summer. Just back from 3 days in Bordeaux and at last count wad nibbled 15 times. So think you should be save in London 😀

I have never come across mosquitoes in London, despite having worked there for years. There maybe midges near water in some of the parks.

We basically don’t have bugs here, the occational wasp. You’ll be quite safe.

We have mosquitoes here but they're small and rarely enter the house. Occasionally, and I mean very occasionally, I might get bitten by one during the night in the summer but the resulting inflammation is nothing like the ones I've experienced in more warmer climes.

They're such an inconsequential insect here that it's really not worth paying a second thought to them. An aggressive wasp is the most you'd have to worry about.

No mosquitos here in the Midlands.

I've never seen one in London either.

We do get crane flies in early summer but they don't bite - they are just slow movers and thick as a brick.

Never seen before so many wasps as this year. Them it is worth being on the lookout for. Don't flap about or they get upset.

I’m traveling to Ireland in early October and am highly allergic to wasp stings. Guess I should take my Epi-pen this trip!

I just got back from 2 1/2 weeks in England which included 3 nights in London. Not one mosquito or bite.
