I'll probably get something natural when my current supply of bug spray runs out.
Permethrin comes from geraniums, you might have some in your garden. It's harmless to mammals except cats, but toxic to mosquitoes. You wash it into your clothes, and then they won't land on you, except the stupid one who goes in for a snack and dies.
