Mosquitos
 
They seem to like me 5 human scents that attract mosquitoes | Mosquitno
Had my first bite of the year yesterday. I find treating with an antiseptic wipe and then Tiger Balm works best for me.

One of the drawbacks of a mild winter.
One or two on the offensive round this way as well.

Wow they like me as well but never got a bite all through last summer and all until now still nothing. Have seen a few about though on the farm.
We have many rivers but no standing water which also is a place for the blighters to breed.

Try using Wrights coal tar soap, the insects don't like the smell of the t-tree oil that's in it. If you do get a bite then rub some of the soap on it, it acts as an antiseptic.
