Outside showers? Will we be bug food? #22812

So, many villas (St John) seem to have outside showers which sounds fabulous, but at the same time I'm a little worried we will become a feast for mossies, no see ums and more.
What have others experienced?
thx!

Most (if not all) outdoor showers will have a glass door that will allow you go go back into the "bathroom" to dry off so the only time you are actually outside is when the shower is running - bugs won't bother you when the water is running.

The frogs that hang out in the shower tend to keep the skeeter population down.

Close to the water as possible

Speaking as both a frequent St. John visitor AND apparently the world's most mosquito-attractive human, I can say that bites sustained whilst showering are seldom an issue. Not sure why exactly... perhaps the water washes them away before they have time to complete their evil task, or maybe they just don't like loud singing.


Flotsam

Some days it's just not worth chewing through the restraints.
