When my children were little I travelled to Corfu with a mosquito net which I bought from a camping store, I think it was called Blacks.  I altered the net by cutting it into the shape of a curtain and used velcro to hang it over the balcony door.  This worked very well as an extra defence against the mossies.  I used (and still use) the liquid plug in machines - best if left on all day.  I found the net over the window worked better than it would have done over the bed as it protected the whole room.  If you use the nets, they are pre-sprayed with repellent but if you use them several times, you need to spray them with more repellent. 

The easiest way to avoid them when you are sleeping is to use the plug in and preferably stay somewhere with ac so that you can sleep with your windows closed.

i find the best way to deter the little buggars is to close all doors and windows before you leave the room and spray with baygone, its available in all good supermarkets, and some not so good ones aswell.

Maddy, there are a few different types available here:

there are several free-standing ones, which although not cheap, would pay for themselves over a few holidays.

This certainly works, but don't forget to re-ventilate the room again before you go back in.  It's a good idea to do it in the morning, then go out for the day.  On returning open up everything for an hour or so (before dusk) - don't worry the stuff is very strong, they won't be tempted to fly back in!!

I'm pretty sure IKEA sells them!  Very cheap too.
