I find that using lemon cologne ( I prefer the make Duru ) keeps most insects at bay - but you have to spray it on regularly.

Also the vape plug ins are great - I prefer the geranium ones .

Any of the Vape products are good. Also grow Basil in pots around the terraces, take vitamin B tablets Sold at any pharmacy.

The old goldminers in New Zealand blathered themselves with kerosene [paraffin in UK] to keep off the sandflies and mossies - 100% effective - as long as you don't drop your 'roach'!
