There are natural products sold at www.kapipenya.com that are supposed to repel insects, but because of the danger in contracting West Nile Virus from mosquitoes, it is necessary to use a product containing DEET to completely protect yourself and your family.Natural products do not contain DEET.
There is a device called "Mosquito Ultrasonic Repeller". It is battery operated and you can wear it around your neck or hang it on your porch. The ultrasonic sound is supposed to deter insects.
I understand your reluctance in using DEET, but it is certainly the lessor evil if there are reports of West Nile Virus in your area.
Good luck !
