I’ve seen loads of articles that say there are certain things you can add into your diet that will naturally put insects off. I’ve heard eating citrus fruit can be effective

Leannexxx it's terrible last year I had two lots of tablets from the doctor because my leg swelled up where I had been bitten and was shocking👍😟

I second the recommendation using the Avon spray, it’s cheap and can order online.

I had heard that not wearing perfume/aftershave/scents as they don't like this.
