Boots - the Chemist

Some have nets, most have insect repellants and their dispensary has anti-malarial drugs - See your doctor some anti - malarials are no longer considered sufficient between November and January (the most popular tourist months)

YHA - Youth Hostelling Shops

Have a similar range to Millets but their nets are much more expensive, though they are impregnated with DEET.
