There are several ways to prevent mosquitoes from biting you
Wear Socks: 80% of all bites are on the ankle
Wear closed toed shoes for the same reason
Avoid Bannanas during the mosquito season: Bannanas produce a scent that mosquitoes go ape over
Avoid sugary drinks because they also attract mosquitoes
Eat citrus. Despite being sweet, citrus does not attract mosquitoes and in fact repels them
Vitamin B Complex deters mosquitoes
Garlic also deters those vampires
Use essential oils' catnip and rosemary;
Last year, several members of the Iowa State University Department of Entomology presented the results of a study on common catnip. Among their conclusions was the fact that an essential oil in catnip is 10 times more effective at repelling mosquitoes than potent chemicals such as DEET.

Shop around for the best buy
I would add lavender to the oil for a good aroma

Eliminate standing water in your community or at least in your neighborhood:A couple of drops of Citronella Oil, Neem Oil, or Catnip will prevent eggs from hatching.
Recycle and dispose of old tires and other containers where mosquitoes breed
Shower with unscented shampoos and laundry detergent. Strong scents attract mosquitoes.
Avoid going out in the hour after dawn and the hour before dawn. Over 80% of bites occur when the temperature is perfect for breeding in the hour after sunrise and one hour before sunset.

Vinegar is a natural repellant...works well with the killer misquitoes in Alaska. Also, Garlic tablets. It will help you survive until you can get some bug repellant.

Another way that was found to repel both mosquitos and bees from bothering you is to put a sheet of Bounce Fabric Sheets in your pocket. Something in it, repels them.
Other objects could be OFF bug spray, citronella candles, or even lemon plant if your out in the woods.
