I am a 'mosquito magnet', if there is one mosquito in a full convention hall, she will find me. I guess I'm that sweet wink

I use Deet only when others fail. There is a product called "Bug Mace" that works well. I spray it on my clothes and it keeps them away. They don't like the smell (I think it masks the human odor). I've also used "Life Stings" which is a spray made from catnip, mint and a few other herbs. In a light mosquito environment it works well, has a pleasant smell, and washes off easily.

If all else fails I'll use the Deet. It does work better than the others, but only slightly better.

I did some hiking in a salt water swamp in the Everglades National Park. Deet didn't work, there were swarms of them. I have a net suit that I put on over my clothes and that was the only solution. I think no chemical keeps the salt water swam mosquitoes from their appointed rounds. And if you kill one, a dozen come to the funeral.
