Mossies hate Lavender.....I never leave home without my 'Buggar Off", used it for years and has always kept the mossies at bay, smells great as it is laced with lavender and other oils. I also take pure lavender oil and rub it on neat around ankles,(also add few extra drops to the Buggar Off doesnt hurt, providing you arent allergic to lavender). The only downside is that you have to apply it more often than the chemical based repellants. This product is excellent for children also. Mind you most advice on the forum is for Deet based products....it comes down to choice.
