A few weeks ago I got loads of mozzy bites, usually in the later afternoon. Our gites have mosquito nets fitted to all windows, but sometimes they still get in with opening doors etc. So, I did a bit of research and found a list of known deterants. So, look for a product that contains one of these active ingredients.

• DEET
• Picaridin (known as KBR 3023 and icaridin outside the US)
• IR3535
• Oil of lemon eucalyptus (OLE)
• Para-menthane-diol (PMD)
• 2-undecanone
