Mosquitoes/biting insects

I am due to fly out next week until the end of March. Normally I am here for the summer when mosquitoes/biting insects are usually in abundance. Will insect repellent be needed whilst I am here?
Thankyou for any replies received.

We live in Catalkoy - have had no mossies this year.

Never seen them in January over the past 6 years I've been coming over to Cyprus

Normally it is too cold in January for insects, certainly mossies, and it certainly is this year! However if we have a warmer spell later in March it may bring out some flies and smaller insects, such as fruit flies, so if you are particularly susceptible to insect bites it might be well to be prepared. There are plenty of chemists here which sell a wide variety of repellents and treatments
