supermarkets but mainly pharmacies in australia. Not ideal for prolonged use but is very effective. Deet is quite toxic.
Also if you buy a can of Baygon insect spray from the supermarkets in bali you can spray your rooms at night to kill off any nasties. Mind you a lot of hotels do this anyway or have one in the room.
If sitting outside your room at night ask reception for a mosquito coil to burn.

Also if you happen to like gin and tonic, the quinnine in Tonic water may help to keep them at bay...but you may be completely maggoted..haha!! cheers
