Light a citronella candle.

Spray yourself with an insect repellent containing DEET.

Put up mozzie nets in every room.

Keep the windows closed so the little bleeders can't get in in the first place.

Invest in a pet chameleon, toad, bat.

Spray them with hairspray and turn them into miniature gliders (it glues their
wings together) then squish them once they crash land.

Hang fly strips in every room.

HTH ;-)

Story of olden daze ...

I traveled with a Bug-Hating Significant Other to the Dutch West
Indies. Most of the time there was a small, steady breeze, and so no
bugs in our rooms. Then one day ...

... the breeze stopped.

Ohmydeities!!! The room was like a creepy-crawly horror-movie
bugfest. So we got the hotel folks to simply hand over to us a can of
their best bug-repellent spray.
