Of course, I am also a target of them. I can rule out lemon eucalyptus
as being ineffective for me. However, when it is in combination with
other oils, it works adequately. Burt's Bees makes one that has castor
oil, rosmary oil, lemongrass oil, cedar oil, peppermint oil, citronella
oil, clove oil, and geranium oil. It seems to work okay. I combined it
with the lemon eucalyptus oil so as not to waste the lemon eucalyptus
oil, and the combination (about 50:50) of the lemon eucalyptus and
Burt's Bees repellant) seems to be quite effective so far.

I am planning on bringing along a ThermaCELL Mosquito Repellant device.
It uses a butane cartridge to heat a mat, the active ingredient of which
is d-cis/trans allethrin. Each mat is supposed to be effective for up to
4 hours. and is supposed to repell mosquitos in a 15x15 foot area. It
might make it more pleasant to sit outdoors.

The other way I have heard of avoiding mosquito bites is to sit in front
of a fan. Mosquitos can't fly well enough to avoid being blown away.

This sounds good:
