Mosquitoes!

We have just moved house to a more rural area and my poor DH is being bitten almost daily despite using a spray deterrent that has usually worked well - even abroad! Recommendations please for anything that really works!

Eating marmite is supposed to help but it has to be daily and plenty! Avon Skin So Soft is recommended by a friend of mine but I've not tried it yet. I got absolutely eaten alive by the buggers on a trip to Belgium a few weeks ago so really wish I'd followed her advice 😑

He does love marmite but only so much you can eat! Ah yes the Avon stuff - will try that - thank you!

This is very good. DH used it in Africa, and we all just used it in a very mosquito-ee area in Mallorca.
(Hope the link works)

Thank you!
