How do I stop getting bitter to smithereens at home?

Oh my days, I am getting bitten by mosquitos on the regular, wake up with a couple of bites every morning, then will get a couple more through the day. It's not masses I know but enough to be really annoying! Especially as they got me on the face last night.

Considering a mosquito net for the bed but my ADHD partner and child will never keep the thing closed so its probably pointless, and doesn't help the rest of the day.

Turns out I have the AB blood that they love! Any tips for keeping them away and treating the bites?

I've literally just ordered some of this, as it was touted as an alternative to Avon skin so soft (I don't support MLMs) fingers crossed for me but its going to take some habit to put it on every morning even when just staying at home.

link it to something you do every morning like clean your teeth. I have mine next to my toothbrush. I pop it on twice a day and haven’t been bitten once since I started using it.

I bought a plug in zapper for beside my bed. Shut the bedroom windows when it starts getting dark.

I was getting seriously bitten, so itchy and awful. Haven’t been bitten since.

We have the bug nets on the windows. They're held on by velcro, and it works best on smaller top opening windows rather than full side openers. Within that though they work great
