There are repellant products in lotion form as well. Sawyer makes a lotion formula with Deet. Though I do not know if that is a local brand for where I am or sold nationallly. Go to Walmart and visit the camping section.

OFF also makes this wonderful new device that clips on a belt of pocket. No need to spray yourself or cloth.

depending on the ingredient, it's either something they don't like because of the smell or taste or it's poisonous to them.




I believe most of them contain 5-hour energy.

Lemon eucalyptus is more effective than citronella; and citronella needs to be applied every 30-60 minutes. I make votive candles and soaps from both.

I'm a nudist I don't wear clothing in my home, so unless there was some way they could clip onto nipples, there'd be nothing to clip to haha. All though if they worked and the skito's just didn't simply go bite lower / higher on my body. Away from the clip, i'd put clothing on to wear the clips.

A necklace or chain.  A bracelet.

Wear skin-so-soft when outdoors.

Or, go high tech with the mosquito repelloent bracelets.. they actually look like a flea collar around the wrist but actually do work for 3-5 days.

If it is a sleeping issue, open your door, light an incense give them bout 20 min and close the door an go to bed. They will be overwhelmed by the aroma and go elsewhere.
