The really good stuf is permethrin arthropod repellent if you can find it. You spray it on your clothes and it has to dry before you wear them - very potent. Another trick that works well - ticks cant stand carbon monoxide - if we were in a really bad place for ticks and had nothing else we would take a hose and put over the exhaust pipe of your vehicle and put it on the legs of your pants,socks and shoes. If you do find the spray mentioned above be careful with it and use it like the instructions say. Have fun.

~Depending on the orifice and the insect, why would you want to?\nIf you must, I recommend either agent orange or TNT.  The latter  will not only remove the insects, but will generally prevent an influx of maggots in their stead.\n\nOr, just pick your as s and blow your nose.

Definitely use Burt's Bees Chapstick.  It's way better than the rest.  And use it consistently in the winter, not just when your lips start getting chapped.

Some individuals have had success conducting their own exterminations by preparing an insecticide mixture of pyrethrins and fresh-water diatomaceous earth. At least one manufacturer produces a household insecticide D-20 with only .2% naturally derived pyrethrins and 1.0% Piperonyl Butoxide, which magnifies the pyrethrins effectivenes by 10 times. Natural pyrethrins are more expensive than many alternatives. The function of the pyrethrins is to stimulate the nervous system of the bugs so that the spasms will allow the diatomaceous earth to dessicate, puncture, and kill the bugs through mechanical action. Great care should be taken not to use products with salt-water diatomaceous earth or heat-treated diatomaceous earth, which can damage the lungs of any mammal (dogs, cats, or humans) which inhale it, and has also been known to cause cancer. Fresh-water diatomaceous earth, however, is commonly used to deworm cats, dogs, and humans, and is considered as safe as table salt.\n\nOthers have used fruit and vegetable insecticides, comprised of a mixture of pyrethins and canola oil, which are usually safe for humans and most pets (aside from fish).\n\nContrary to popularly disseminated information, extreme heat or extreme cold is usually not effective in eliminating bedbugs. Pest control professionals receive reports of infestations even in the dead of winter, and manufactured environments of extreme heat or cold (such as encasing a mattress in a bag and placing it in direct sunlight, or placing a suspect piece of bedding or clothing in a freezer) usually cannot stay consistently hot or cold enough to sufficiently kill bedbugs, which are not particularly sensitive to temperature extremes. In addition, since bedbugs normally disperse, treatment of a bed or mattress is insufficient to eradicate an infestation.

The active ingredients in repellents make the person unattractive for feeding. Repellents do not kill mosquitoes. Repellents are effective only at short distances from the treated surface, so you may still see mosquitoes flying nearby.

I dunno if eating garlic will keep mosquitoes away, but it can certainly keep people away!  Actually, there is an effective and inexpensive product out there that works great.  It's called "Deep Woods Off with Sunblock".  It is available in a cream that comes in a tube like toothpaste.  Better to carry that than the stuff that comes in a spray can while travelling by air: airlines DO NOT LIKE passengers attempting to carry pressurized cans of ANYTHING onto the aircraft, even canned air.  And with today's hypersensitivity towards possible acts of sabotage or terrorism, you DO NOT wanna argue with the guys and gals who tell ya you can't take your spray can on the airplane.\nHope your pal enjoys the say in Spain; it can be an enchanting place.

I bought a small device that clips onto your clothing, tents, etc. It emits a sound that drives away the insects. I love the smell of Skin so Soft but I'm allergic to it. The vitamin remedy may work but one must take it a few days for it to permeate the skin. The sound device is instantaneous. It operates on a battery. It may be purchased in most camping gear departments or sporting goods stores. I am allergic to mosquito bites and this thing is terrific! It is about the size of a small hen's egg, only flatter. It weighs next to nothing.\n\n  Just a fun fact: in the forest, if you crush fiddlehead ferns and rub the juice on your skin, it's a dandy repellant!

Natural is always the best.  Small but real is just fine.

the best "repellant" is a fan or gentle breeze as mosquitoes do not like moving air.small electrical mats, mosquito repellent vapour, and mosquito coil.

Insect Bite\n\nWhen I get an insect bite, I use the homeopathic remedy Natrium Muriaticum, immediately. I use water or saliva to moisten the pill and distribute it on the bite. \n\nIf some time has elapsed before I get to the homeopathic pills, I use Ferrum Phosphoricum, because the body may have already reacted with an inflammation.\n\nFor swelling I use Dinshah Color MedicineTM, Dinshah color Indigo. Or, I take Kalium Muriaticum under my tongue, often at first, later less and less.\n\nFor the pain I take the homeopathic remedy Hypericum Perforatum. Also very often at first, under the tongue.\n\nYou have to decide if you should get a treatment by a professional. \n\nWishing you a speedy recovery.\n\nCordially, India.Magica
