They're out in small clouds here, Val but I haven't been bitten.
You must
be particularly tasty! I think the only answer is a repellent
that you know works well for you. I never wear perfume when I'm
working in the garden, partly because I don't want to attract
bees (I wear floral or citrus-y scents) and also because of its
reaction with the skin in sunlight.
I don't know if you wear a perfume but if so, wonder if it might
be better
not to!

I do wear perfume but also anti persperants and shower gels might
also be an attraction

If you really want to wear a scent in the garden, Val, try Lavender
Water as it is supposed to be an insect repellant ... well, if you
discount bees, that is ... :~)

If you really want to repel insects use a 50% DEET based product.

Just a dab behind each ear?

I put it on my socks.

Hmm, you don't think your sock have enough malodorous content without the
Deet? Oh poooheee
