I live in northern Sask. where our mosquitoes are vicious. I have found several solutions:
-wear clothing that covers you
-put citronella essential oil (4 or 6 drops) in 1/8th cup carrier oil such as olive or grapeseed and put it on exposed skin
-don't wear scents or wash clothes with scented soap- use washing soda or borax only for clothing as this doesn't attract the bugs
- put dirt on your skin...just rub it on. They don't like that
- set a fan beside you if possible
- notice how some people seem to get bitten more than others? Besides the scent thing, there might be a problem with your large intestine. Find a jin shin jyutsu practitioner who will correct the energy flow through your large intestine and that may fix the problem
OR move to the coast where there are few to none.

Mosquito repelant and plenty of it. Reappling every four hours. They make spray for yards too ---this does help.
Don't leave any standing water---if you have animals put a very little bleach in the water bowls this will clean mosquito larvae. Stay inside. Lavender candles work believe it or not. Small bug lights also kill mosquitos.
Avon has a repelant made by Skin so Soft and it is real good.
Good luck----------they are bad where I live too--so I know the feeling

I find deet is the best. I use a brand called Muskol and it seems to help. I also use citronella. Without out these I am a walking mosquito bite from head to toe. I have also been told to stand next to someone who doesn't get bit. (I didn't find it as effective)

I electrocute mosquitoes using Mosquito hunter (a bat-like electrical equipement) in the morning and evening in the environment in which I live. Only a few mosquitoes come in my bedroom. Sometimes, I spray diluted Dettol (antiseptic germicidal) in my bedroom to keep the mosquitoes away.

Skin-so-Soft by Avon. I swear by it. Used it for 3 years now. Either get the oil and mix with water in a spray bottle, or get the spray. It is great, also my kid hear and tried, rubbing a Bounce dryer sheet on your skin. He did try it and it worked too.

Try Brewers Yeast. You'll find in the vitamin section.
You'll have to take it for a few days before it becomes effective
Works form the inside out!

Definately plenty of garlic in your diet.Please note that the garlic does not work immediately but has to get right through your system.
I believe tasteless/odourless garlic capsules are now available which you may find more acceptable but I don't know if they are as effective.

That Ultra-Thon mosquito repellent works really well. It's better than OFF.
