I’ve given up on repellent sprays, lotions and creams. I swear the little buggers find the odd square millimetre of untreated skin at night and dig their proboscis in.

I have ordered a mosquito net for my bed!

Beurer bite zapper is what you need.

Those plug in things work well.

Avon Skin So Soft spray meant to be brilliant.

I use those all the time, but unless I sleep with the window closed, they don’t last all night, unfortunately.

I just dab them with very hot water - works well and calmed free out of the tap :-)

Mosquito nets are good, but so are screens on windows.

I bought one of these from Amazon after reading your post @unsync and it’s bloody brilliant!! Best thing I have ever used. Took the itch away immediately. Thank you so much!!
