Whilst at the pharmacie in Cordes, getting cream for our bites, a helpful
lady assistant recommended "Insect Ecran" to us.
This is a repellant which one sprays on the lower parts of trousers etc.,
(Not skin).
It remains effective against Aoutats for a month, and even after two washes
and ironing. It also protects against ticks.
We're certainly going to give it a try.
