I used the garlic tabs and Avon SSS for the first time last year and came home without a single bite 
found a bushman remedy which is very effective.
70% baby oil and 30% dettol.
apparently mozzies hate the smell of dettol.
that must make me a mozzie

Over the years I have been battling against the mozzis.
SSS is the stuff for me.
Vit B never work niether did the garlic.
Jungle formular was O.K but get a bit worried about whats in it Still got a few bites.
Used all the lotions and potions. Citrinella stinks and stains and it never worked.
Last year was the only time I had a two week holiday in June in Spain without having to go to the famacia to get creams for the terrible bites I normaly get.
Not saying it will work for everyone , but I wouldn't go abroad without it.
Easy to use, leaves your skin soft and moisturised, smells nice and fresh , cheap, and no deet in it. result.

Just to let you know that Avon have changed the name of their skin products. I hunted through the brochure and couldnt find woodland fresh? they have repackaged and renamed it SOFT AND FRESH.

I have travelled and worked in Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria and throughout the Med.
I have tried them all but found the best to be LIFESYSTEMS EXPEDITION 100.
It is 95% Deet and comes in 50ml and 100ml.
The large size costs around £7.50
Sorry to say but Mozzies always prefer females.

I have just had this reply from Avon regarding the skin so soft Woodland fresh dry skin oil.
Please could you tell me if you still sell the product skin so soft woodland fresh dry skin oil or it's equivalent.
Thank you for your recent email.
The Skin so Soft range has been repackaged, re-formulated, re-named and some new products added in Campaign 4 2005. The fragrances have been renamed as follows:
Soft & Sensual = Remains Soft & Sensual
Woodland Fresh = Soft & Fresh
Fresh & Smooth = Soft & Smooth
Soft & Renewed (a new collection)
Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Have booked 2 weeks in July 2005 to go to Orlando.
Don't normally get bitten (although I did get attacked badly in Alcudia a couple of years ago!). This has made me quiet wary - and it seems that we are picking a bad time mozzie wise to go.
What can you recommend to combat the demon mozzie?

Avon just had a special offer on - buy one get one free: good deal, hope it works. I get really badly bitten and have never found anything that works very well, so I'm hoping the Avon staff will be good!
Avon do not seem to be doing Woodland Fresh anymore. They now have Soft and Fresh. Is it the same does anyone know?
Sorry - I've got in a pickle with this and see that my question has already been answered!
Just to let everyone know - Holland and Barrett for having a sale at the mo.
I just bought 100 x 100 ms B1 Thiamin for £1.59 (a saving of £1.70 - or so they say!).

Here is a link to a good review of repellants which gives data on effectiveness studies and side effects for a wide range of products :

my boyfriend and myself started taking garlic capsules a month before we went and the 2 weeks we were on holiday last year.We also had a mozzie plug-in in our room. We didnt get bit once,Ive been told the mozzies dont like garlic. I suppose certain things work for some but not for others and you could go on forever buying people's suggestions
Went to Icemelar last year and was told by the locals to use lemon oil they sell there, the best thing i've ever bought and not a bite in sight
