To the wooded enclosure, I get bitten all over my body by insects, this is during the day.
Anyone else have this problem?
I need to buy some repellent spray…it really ruins the walks we have.
It never used to be like this, my legs are covered in itchy bites.
No trouble, do you wear trousers? if so tuck your socks over the bottom’s see if that helps.
Obviously, there are many brands available but one that I found suited me, as I take long country walks, is:

I like it because it’s natural, non-greasy product with, to my nose, a very pleasant smell. It worked for me and stopped those pesky horseflies in their tracks … 
If you get to like it, there’s a range of supplementary products available … 
Whilst working in my garden, I am getting bitten like mad at the moment. Especially on my legs!
Thank You, caricature, for the advice about tucking trousers in your socks. I was wondering how they were able to bite me through my trousers!
Once bitten, l put vinegar on the bite and it really relieves it and stops it itching.
I have to be careful as l have ended up at the hospital with a bad reaction and swelling after a bite.
No, but then I never take Jack out. 
Be careful Art…I think we disturb them ( mosquitoes) in their slumber, while we work in the garden,
Also walking through the woods, I sometimes go off the path, therefore brushing through all the growth, waking all those blinking mosquitoes up!..I will be buying some spray ,as Omah kindly posted.about,
@pauline3 @Artangel , are you up north, Down here in Devon we don’t get mozzies, grockles yes but thats another tale.
South here…mosquitoes everywhere…can’t go out in the garden during the evening, get eaten alive by mosquitoes…
Pauline, l think they just like the taste of us! I get bitten everywhere, my neck, back, buttocks legs, hands and toes. The itching drives me bonkers and then they get infected, swell up, or grow huge red blisters!
Maybe, l should stay inside all summer!
NB. Re… the spray. I would probably be allergic to that too!!

(1) DEET - Wikipedia
N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide, also called DEET (/diːt/) or diethyltoluamide, is the most common active ingredient in insect repellents. It is a slightly yellow oil intended to be applied to the skin or to clothing and provides protection against mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, chiggers, leeches and many biting insects.
DEET was developed in 1944 by Samuel Gertler of the United States Department of Agriculture for use by the United States Army, following its experience of jungle warfare during World War II. It was originally tested as a pesticide on farm fields, and entered military use in 1946 and civilian use in 1957. It was used in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
As a precaution, manufacturers advise that DEET products should not be used under clothing or on damaged skin, and that preparations be washed off after they are no longer needed or between applications. DEET can act as an irritant; in rare cases, it may cause severe epidermal reactions. Other symptoms that can occur are breathing difficulty, burning eyes, or headaches.
Definitely NOT recommended …
