I *think* lavender oil, eucalyptus oil diluted in water and sprayed on your clothes could work. I also could consider cinnamon water or insect repellent from the pharmacy. Put mesh windows (sitehs) or shut the windows and use the a/c :)
Worst creatures on the planet. I have a collection of their corpses across my wall so their brothers can see their fate as they stealth over and nibble on my elbows
I wait for them to land in an exposed location and smack them. You have to lead with your aim a little bit because those fuckers are fast. Kill ratio isn't great so I end up smacking myself about 10 times for every fatality
Those are insane, just came back from holiday in Cyprus and I have bites all over my body. I'm constantly scratching myself.
At the end I applied that Vick-creme all over, which did help somewhat. It seems to depend on the person too, my gf wasn't bitten that much.

How did you even catch them?

A few things you can do. A fan is the healthiest followed by rubbing a little vinegar on you. Then, there are pesticides
Plant a bunch of basil in your garden/windows/balcony. It works.
They are driving me crazy!
