There must be a better way
I just hate spraying myself and my children especially with toxic chemicals to keep biting bugs off of us. I would much rather try to control them using noninvasive ways such as building a fire outside while we sit out, using candles, plants and all kinds of things such as netting to keep them off of me. But sometimes we are enjoying activities which require we use some sort of personal mosquito control so just read the information, get the least toxic kind, the one that lasts longest and put it on your clothing if you can instead of skin. Some people put dryer sheets that have softeners in them in their hats and they swear they work.
