We use one of those yellow sticky things for greenhouses for long stays. We hang it near the light so it catches anything that has got in during the day. Don't put the light on at night until we have zipped the mesh doors up. We usually spend most of our time outside anyway. Last year we had a grass hopper/cricket? between our flysheet and the inner kept us 'amused' for hours.

"Amused"?? Listening to that all night it's a wonder you weren't head first off the nearest cliff...

I used to think insects were harmless, until last year when I was bitten by a horse-fly, and my arm swelled up to twice its size in about 20 minutes, totally numb. Took about 3 days to go down again.

Carrying piriton is a good idea.

Still, I used to camp in Kenya as a child, where we had 6-inch 'hunting' spiders running around the floor, snakes falling out of the firewood pile, snakes in sleeping bags, malarial mosquitos - the lot.
