Expedition 100+ inspect repellent spray from Millets.
Used it all over the world (and my body) with Excellent results. It's an oil based spray so stops ticks getting into you nether regions too so it's kind of 2-4-1.
It goes all over me and around the rim of by brolly too does a pretty decent job of keeping the blighters out.
It does stink though.
I've also used skin so soft, is very good but needs to be reapplied quite frequently so too much of a faff. But smells nice

Yep I've found incognito the best for me .... however what I would say is make sure you wash your hands thoroughly after use and before touching anything ... I had a rather hot c**k for ages after having a pee directly after using it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I think the BF 21 model is much better. The sealed bottom of the trailer, including all plumbing pipes, is a very good advantage. I didn't have any experience with Escape 21 models, but my friend bought a couple of these trailers for trailer rent park. It was all good first year. He got massive reports from his customers about cockroaches and rodents inside the cabin and between walls the second year. With the help of the proper Sunderland pest service https://ajverminatorpestcontrol.com/, he solved the problem. Still, we both think that problem was on the nonsealed bottom floor.

And tuck your trousers into your socks.

Bees are irritated by dark clothes with a fleecy surfaces as they get tangled in a pile. They also do not tolerate the smell of clothes soaked in sweat, gasoline, or smoke. In foreign countries, the beekeeper's set of clothes includes gloves made of soft, dense fabric or rubberized, but it is very inconvenient to perform beehive work in such gloves.

Used it on an exposed nipple once in a bivvy, by Jove she woke up quick and I was not popular for at least an hour🥴😂

I know its an oldish thread but I have been using the last few years a Lifesystem portable insect Killer which is a misleading title for this little machine as it doesn't actually kill them it keeps them at bay.
I have never really had a problem with mosquito's but a few years ago I moved onto the big lake on our club ticket and they were relentless over there with all the trees and long marginal grasses and nailed me every time I went, a mate put me onto this little gadget who was fishing over there and he swore by it, for the few quid it was I bought one and whilst its in the bivvy switched on even with an open front I've had no more problems with the little buggers it omits a strange minty type smell whatever it is it works.

Get some tablets of cetirizine hydrochloride. Use a mozzy Zappa and still get bitten (but drastically less). The bites I do get do not itch one bit after about 10 minutes of taking one. I never leave without a strip.

Looks interesting. How long do the batteries last? Shame it's not rechargeable.

I can vouch that your club lake is indeed the worst place I've ever fished, for mozzies. First time I ever set foot on the place, opened the car door and two flew in! By the end of that first trip, I looked like the elephant man lol. Started off on the Avon skin so soft - soft and fresh, but if anything it attracted them like a dinner bell. They laughed in the face of Jungle formula too. Eventually I ended up on something which claimed to be 100% deet, but the name escapes me, but it defo wasn't the Bens in the bright Orange bottle that big Nige had recommended to me. Whichever one it was, it worked really well!
The mozzies at that place are something else, like flying hyperdermic needles. I wouldn't mind, but I rarely get bitten anywhere else. Reckon they've got no taste buds there lol
Edit... It was the Aquatech 100% Deet that found to be effective.
