Insects in Venice now?

We will be in Venice in two weeks. I’ve heard the bugs can be bad in August. Is that true? Our sone is very prone to getting bit, so want to be prepared with repellant and anti itch stuff if needed.

I have been to Venice a few times, the only time I had bug issues was April and I left the window open. Anyhow due to a trip to Botswana with enough mosquitoes to carry me to the moon, I now spray Deet on bandanas and tie them around my wrists and ankles rather than spraying my skin. Keeps the poison off me and the bugs away. J
