Have not tried any one of these yet although I can personally support the eating of garlic. It may not be fun but a mouth full of garlic for a few moments puts the nasty smelling stuff in your bloodstream and thus repells the little buggers (or at least I think thats how it works.) either way, holding garlic in my mouth for a few minutes seems to go a really long ways with me.
However, vanilla extract with your camping gear might not be a good idea. I would say if you are out in the woods, putting something all over your body that smells good is a bad idea. You may keep the bugs away, but that says nothing about the bears and other cute but potentally dangerous woodland critters.

I have 3 little boys who love to play outside in our backyard, but they hate getting mosquitoes bites. I enjoyed your post and will try some of your ideas. Unfortunately where we live there are a lot of mosquitoes!!

Great tips! I grow basil in the garden and will rub some on whenever working in it. Can’t wait to try the repellant.

I would love to try this. We live in an area that has a lot of mosquitoes and I am afraid of the diseases caused by these insects.

Great products! the reason i came here on this site was because there was just one of those HUGE male mosquitoes with really long legs and it took me 20 mins to kill!! i tryed to spray it with lysol and windex then finally it fell to the ground and i squished it in a cloth! darn buggers have an external skeleton so they dont react as fast!!

The vanilla extract thing sounds interesting. Tho it may seem a little funny to keep a bottle with your camping gear. I will have to try it out.
