As well as a huge variety of birds,
Tobago has a fascinating amount of plant and insect life. There is a
number of harmless reptiles to be found also.

- Mosquitoes
can be a nuisance. Keep windows and doors shut as much as possible when
darkness falls (about 6.15pm). Our bedrooms are air-conditioned, but
use spray and repellent burners as thought necessary. Spare bug mats
are always worth buying. Marmite is supposed to be good as a mosquito
repellent when eaten [no, not rubbed on], so have it on toast regularly
for breakfast.
- Ants
get everywhere if allowed. Do not leave food open too long, and stuff
dropped on the floor soon attracts them. They seem to like salty things
[crackers, cashews] in particular.
- Similarly with mice.
No food, no mice.
- Lizards
are friendly, so don’t worry about them.
- There is a large harmless toad
in our back garden, somewhere.
- One plant to avoid in Tobago is called
cow-itch. The young
plant is harmless, but the seedpods have a hairy coating that can cause
severe rashes. Avoid. There is none in the garden at this time.
