I’m genetically super-attractive to mosquitoes. A swarm follows me as soon as I step outside. I was using a Picardin 20% product called Ranger Ready Repellent that smelled awesome and worked really well but I guess they’ve gone under. What on-body product do yall use? I do have a couple of buckets of doom but I live next to a ditch drainage area, so the little fuckers always have a place to breed/hide. HALP!!!

We use OFF! Brand 20% Picaridin and [these](https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0C49X2LVH?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title) it’s actually kind of insane how well the incense work, we put four around us on a 150 sqft patio and have zero mosquitos. Before I light them my dogs have 10-30 mosquitos swarming at any time and after they have none. It doesn’t even have to be the incense I linked to, any smokey incense smell that can mask the human smell will work!
Co2 traps are expensive but about the only thing that actually works. Biogents and Mosqitter make great traps. [mosquito traps](https://www.greenguard-usa.com/shop)
The natural gardener has a list of natural treatments for different pests. I think for mosquitoes they listed a garlic scented spray. You could also try to plant lots of fragrant things to deter them (like garlic, rosemary). And set up a bucket of doom
I used deet yesterday as a last resort but still got bitten, but only in my hands. Did some gardening over the weekend wearing a rain jacket and sweating my eyes out, but it helped a bit. Gonna set up mosquito dunks tomorrow. Best of luck to you!
