Mosqito Wars Essential Oils for Mosquito, Drum and Cyclone Fan area denial, Zap them electronically, Body armor for bugs

Essential Oil protection versus Deet
There is an essential oil that may work better than deet without the risk chemicals offer.  I still use deet to spray clothing and hats and try to keep it off my skin. Bug tamer outfits are helpful if you are in a high activity area for mosquito.

Area Denial
Another great method is to get a drum fan or cyclone fan with high speed air movement.  If you are going to work in a fixed spot such as doing a car repair then pointing a fan at you can create a wind tunnel that makes it hard for the little devils to navigate their way to you and then land.  When I practice with pellet rifles on summer afternoons in the shade this is my go-to method for avoiding the misery of mosquito bites.  Combined with a bug tamer outfit and a floppy hat sprayed with deet on the brim I often come out without one nip from a mosquito despite living in an area that in heavily infested with them.

Electronic means
I set up multiple electric insect killers on my property to wipe out as many mosquito as possible.  The best performing one currently available is the Flowtron. 


Clothing
Bug tamer outfits and treated clothing still act as a great last line of defense against mosquito bits.
