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

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.
