I was going to say garlic or take a slow burning fungi and light it on fire and make it a smoking amber. I do this quite often and I even hike with it normally spinning it on a rope. Lasts hours and does great but if I dont have that I just deal with it. Insects are the least of my worries.

Deet is most effective, but can be hazardous and ruins some plastics.
Picaridin is almost as good, but safer and not as toxic.

I had always relied on the bens 100, but the wipes are super convenient, and easy to pact.

Permeterin is sprayed on clothes, not directly on skin. You can treat your own out have them sent out. The diy will last a couple washes the professional treated will last more. I've seen fishing clothes pretreated.

I believe DEET make it so the bugs don't see you, and permithrin kills bugs.

Deepwoods Off Sportsman (98%+ Deet). But it burns and sucks if you start sweating. I've had that in the East Texas piny woods with swarms of damn mosquitoes and it keeps them away for hours.

I often carry two types - some double-digit percentage of deet and "Clean" repellent with a low percentage of Picaridin. Which one I use depends on the density of bugs.

DEET is good. A while ago I bought a bottle of some herbal bug spray from etsy. When I was in Maine it seemed to keep mosquitoes away as well as normal bugspray. Plus it wasn't sticky and it smelled kind of nice. I used it up though and the label peeled off so I'm not sure who made it

I like 3M Ultrathon. 34% DEET, and it is a sort of cream that goes on nicely. There is also supposed to be a version of it that has SPF50 protection, but haven't found it around here.

If it is really bad, I switch to Sawyer Jungle Juice. 98% DEET, it burns my skin and eats some kinds of plastic, but even when I'm going through swampy areas nothing touches me.

DEET actually is just a repellent, so the smell keeps them away. Mosquitoes and the like will know you're there, but they hate the smell of DEET. If you don't want mosquitoes to see you, just stop breathing, because they're attracted to CO2.

It works very well. It is also quite toxic in most forms, a probable carcinogen, and linked to birth defects (even years after exposure). It is also banned in all developed nations. In the US, possession without a special permit is a felony with up to a $100,000 fine and a year of imprisonment.

Honestly I just tried some out tonight. Went to my neighbors house and bugs were biting me all the way there. They had some of this spray so I tried it out, no bites after that, so it worked just fine. Sold under the Repel brand.

Head net sprayed with Permethrin works nicely combined with long sleeves and pants. You'll never kill the entire swarm, but you won't get bit. I haven't figured how to piss though, motherfuckers swarm my bird as soon as it's out. End up spazzing out and spraying it everywhere.

Be careful with Permethrin/DEET type shit around pets (especially kitties). Little guys can't handle the chemicals.

DEET.

But if you breath it, or spray on skin over the longterm, you'll get cancer. Shit is toxic as fuck. Spray on posterior side of clothing, top of hat, back of boots, etc. No skin.

Otherwise you have to rely on those all natural oil stuff with tea tree oil/peppermint, all that shit.
