I use one of those Off Clip Ons and it actually works really well.  It makes a small humming noise but at least I dont have to put bug spray all over me.  Pretty cheap also.

What kinda spray, Ive noticed some are very hit and miss as far as being effective.

I usually am wearing long sleeves and long pants no matter the temperature.  While I am walking it usually isn't too bad.  When I sit I put a hat and gloves on and then apply 100 Deet to areas not covered.  Then ample amounts of cover scent around where I am sitting.

 Thermacell-Definitely worth it. Mosquitos love me but not when I'm wearing it!

Long sleeves and 100% deet

Don't get 100% deet on your face it makes your lips numb and non functional. Trust me I know
