Off on holiday in a few weeks. I ALWAYS get badly bitten, despite wearing trousers / long sleeves/ wearing mosquito repellent wrist bands and using sprays etc. If there is one bloody mosquito I swear it will find me. My legs in particular are a mess with bites every single time. So, I challenge you lovely lot to find me something that's going to put the buggers off!

An insect repellent containing 50% deet, nothing else is really effective

Second this. Spray it on ankles and wrists.
DEET is really the only effective thing I find.

Cubby's salve midge repellant. Only thing v that's worked for me.

Usually the local products work best wherever you are so I second the Mercadona orange spray and plug in.
