Jungle Formula is the best and available everywhere, especially Boots.

Come in sprays, wet wipes, creams you name it.

Can't miss it, comes in green/yellow packaging.

Ps Great Hols.

Answer 6

See if you can find essential oils. Use lavender. Mosquitoes hate it. Not sure if that store would have it as I'm in the US(Florida-mosquito central! YUCK)

Answer 7

jungle formula repellant is good from most chemists.

mossies like perfume so do without.

next time before you go on holiday take odourless garlic capsules for the couple of weeks before you go and take while away. also avon skin so soft the blue one shower gel and body spray oil are good i used that this hol and i didn't get bitten.first time i've not been eaten alive.

Answer 8

Most chemical repellents use DEET which is a nasty chemical that always makes me feel awful. A really effective alternative is a mixture of Citronella Oil, Lemon Grass Oil and Baby Oil (all of which should be available at the chemist). As always, covering up after dusk is a good idea, especially in Africa/Asia.

Answer 9

High dosage vitamin B - honestly - it really does work - it's better if you could have taken it for a couple of weeks before going but it will still help.

They seem to really not like the smell.

I have also noticed I get bitten a lot less when I have been working on the alliums in the garden and eating them (so onions, garlic, chives) - although that way you also drive away your friends & family!
