smells nicer and worked better than the repellent I brought from home. One thing I did do was take(from a plastics store at home) several little purse size bottles with atomiser tops, and I filled these from a bigger Autan bottle. Then we could all carry one with us even if we split up, and leave them in our outside seating area, and on bedside tables. Ask for a coil under your dining table at night if you go out for a meal or drinkies. Some people swear by taking 'B' group vitamins leading up to (and during) your holiday, which I do anyway, but if I forget the spray they come for the feast anyway. I always get a few bites. Two things that help me are Not scratching them (spreads the toxins), and taking antihistamine tablets. I use Claramax and one lasts 24 hours and makes a big difference to the inflamation and itchiness of any bite sites.
