Anyone have experience with DEET-free insect repellants?

1. OFF makes repellants w/o DEET.
It works pretty well for me and mosquitos LOVE me!
Only one or two will still hold their noses and sting me when I use OFF.

3. That's the one.
We have mosquitos with West Nile virus around here so I don't work outside without some insect repellant.

4. Canadian armed forces insect repellent
Find a rock about 100 metres away. Spray it on there. Run like hell. All the mosquitos will congregate around the rock and won't bother you.

7. get a vial of patchouli oil from the hippy store
no flying insect will come near you, and nobody else will either, unless they be hippy

(joking but this is pretty much true, patchouli keeps all that shit away)
