insect repellant?

[pine island fred]

Know you people in CANADA and the DAKOTAS are fighting the mosquitoes this time of year, at least you can see them. My big problem is the no-see-ems. I swear they must have teeth. Have tried DEET 28% - 40%, also raid house and garden and even raid ant and roach (no skin problems yet). Anybody have something that works for them? Skin so soft and clothes dryer fluff pads dont work for me. Must pass along that the BURGESS-BLACK FLAG propane foggers do a real good job around the house but are worthless when going for snook in the mangrove. Anybody have any old indian tricks? thanks fred

Eat garlic, work it into your meals, they say it works, it seems to.

I've seen 100% DEET repellant in stores, but haven't tried it.
