Not particularly liking the idea of rubbing "deet repellant" on myself. ( It does come with an age warning for children by the way) I take lots of Vitamin B's and use Avon's 'Skin So Soft' which has citronella in it. Sporting goods shops here in Canada do carry repellants with Citronella in it so I'm sure you can find it other places. This seems to work for me. In the Yukon this summer a resident told me that people there said that if you eat lots of peanuts it attracts mosquitoes, so who knows!! I took malaria tabs for several months in central America once and recall not liking the headaches I got from them.
