I favor the clothing solutions as a start like TubeDude with head nets, dwaynab with the mesh suit (I have the Cabela's bug suit and like that it let's the breeze through for those hot and humid days and nights when bugs are worst) and like RockyRaab with clothing accessories to keep bugs out.
Where I have conflicts is chemicals on my body versus getting bitten and particularly with some of the diseases that can be spread by mosquitoes and even more so for preparedness supplies for when diseases might be uncontrolled and spreading as a much greater threat.
I haven't found a solution, so I post here that I would greatly appreciate hearing from others on possible nontoxic solutions particularly the ones that have some effectiveness though I know it won't be nearly as effective as those compromising their health with nerve gas related products.
So far I've tried with various degrees of low effectiveness:
vanilla
lemon oil
mixed citrus oils
mint oil
eucalyptus oil
and a few others
Out frog gigging, very little worked to repel.
But, if I were in one place on a boat fishing, I would be tempted to try a fan.
Other ideas are invited. What nontoxic solution works for you?
