Sandflies or midges or those little SOB's , as they are commonly known, the bane of many peoples lives in HK are repelled by a simple solution of Dettol and water.
I just spent 2 hours in my yard which is a haven for the little bleeders and did not receive a single bite. Normally, I would be bitten within minutes.
The Dettol solution was approx. 10 parts water to 1 or 2 parts Dettol then spray it on.
Smells great, doesn't burn or stink like DEET and has got to be better for your skin than DEET.
Survived two hours of perspiration.
Crazy ramblings to some, probably...
Of actual use to someone, hopefully...

I have been told that eating Vegemite sandwiches (for Australians only) will help to deter midges and like. It seems that a (high) concentration of Vit B in your blood/body is not an attractant to the midge.
For those who do not enjoy Vegemite, you may consider taking Vit B tablets and see if this helps.
I am only suggesting and have no medical background
