I've used vanilla and have had good results. Not the kitchen Vanilla Extract, but a perfume with vanilla in it, and they stay away from me.

try garlic pills (scent free, if you get regular ones you'll smell like garlic)
don't eat bananas!
My mom used to rub Avon Skin So Soft oil on us. It worked, and it doesn't smell horrid.
Eat plenty of garlic - they don't like it.
Lavender Cologne
I use "walk about" from the health food stor it works awesome.
Where darker colors, rub your body with fabric softener sheets an don't go outside at sunrise or sunset.
Masquitos prefer burnetts over blondes (its true).
Take a cold shower every 20 minutes
Wear dark clothes
I hope this helps
Eat garlic. If you don't like garlic and don't mind the smell of lemon, burn citronella candles in the garden and/or your bedroom. Insects hate the smell.
Eat more garlic (I take unscented capsules- 2x a day) and I use Avon's Skin so Soft. If I do get bit, I put a dab of dish soap (Dawn) on the bite and it's gone by morning!
Marmite / Yeast extract works apparently
Eat lots of Marmite, wear a sprig of Tansy - and cook till nice and crispy.
Try DEET apparently you can get in non spray forms.

Try Citronella oil from the chemist
Eat citrus fruit regularly, especially white grapefruit. Make sure you eat some of the bitter pulp.
After a while, mosquitos won't go near you, because you will exude the subtle odour of citrus, something like citronella.
You can also rub 5% white vinegar on your skin on your wrists and hands and face, it's good for the skin, but don't get it in your eyes. It works better than Skin So Soft.
Do NOT wear BLUE, or black, that seems to attract mosquitos. Wear neutral light gray or green instead.
Wear a bug jacket with hood when the bugs are the worst.
Avon's Skin so Soft
well, you could get dressed in a bee suit?
the avon stuff is really good, i use it and have never had a nosquito bite since! :)
