Hey i am from Stuttgart, Arkansas and its known for mosquito's - the best thing to get is called the Thermacell - its a little machine that you put repellent pads in and turn it on and it makes no noise and no smell - it also has a belt clip with it so you can clip it on your jeans - i use it bow hunting - but you can use them for anything - its retails for 24.99 and then the refills are 9.99 and it lasts for 12 hours at a time- however dosnt work well if you are goin to be walking a lot or if its really windy - it creats a 5 foot barrier around your whole body - its the best and I'm telling you - you will not get a better repellent than this because i have tried everything - in stores here we cant keep them stocked!
Anything containing DEET will work extreamly well. Off contains DEET and will do the trick.

There are other chemicals that people have tried - and work with varying degrees of sucess - but DEET is still the gold standard.

DEET also repells most other insects - including ticks.

Considering all of the blood born diseases going around these days - I will be happy to use DEET.
If you eat garlic they will not bite you it is alot better than chemicals and all natural!
