I use regular insect repellent all the time. I try not to use anything with deet unless absolutely necessary. Deet will eat up plastics and fly lines, can't be good for your skin either. I use the burts stuff cause it's natural oils that actually work. Must be reapplied constantly though.I only use it for mosquitoes - store brand works too, but must be the amber colored one.
Peppermint, cedar, lemongrass etc..
deet turns my skin red but I will use it before I get eaten alive.
Thermacells work too.
