We use witch hazel too. Oatmeal paste and oatmeal baths will help if you have several bites.
Planting, in pots or borders, citronella plants (not scented geraniums, but the real kind, idk if you can grow them/find them anywhere but a nursery-got ours at a local place called Mike'sl), lemon grass, lemon basil and lemon thyme also help repel them. I spray the kids clothes with Off but not their skin. Yea, I'm a chicken mama lol.
