Hi whilst in cuba the mosquitoes were bad.  The locals told me to run vodka  on my body to keep them away. Did it work ?  Kinda  give it a try.

locals have told me. the lemon variety geranium works & lemon balm plant. near your seating area(s). The more the better. It takes more than just one plant.

Go to Mercadona and buy the baby cologne, carry a small spray bottle around with you to keep topping up. Also put lemon and lavender oil drops in your sunscreen aftersun lotions. Use lemon shower gel

Pharmacy sells Vicks. I have been known to use it to stop scratching the pesky bites.

I have this anti mosquito plant on both sides of my front door, several plants around the garden but the little blithers take no notice.

I used some 99% deet from Australia. I think it is illegsl in Europe because of high deet. 

Has no effect in Spain. I think it attracts the nice little things.
