I use Off. I also use duct tape around my cuffs and wrists, long sleeve shirts.
Fritz D. Dog likes it also. He's never had a flea and ticks usually just walk around on his skin and outer fur and don't seem to penetrate. For some strange reason he doesn't like to have his underneath rear sprayed, when I spray he gets unruly. His body fur is very tight but underneath in the less dense fur they do the most damage.
I just read in the paper last week North Dakota has over 200 cases of West Nile disease. Thats stuff worries me. Although we have had frosts there are still plenty of skeeters. Actually mosquitoes are our state bird. The telephone pole is our state tree.
I love this place though. Where else can you take a drive in the country, stop the truck and look across the plains and prairie and see nothing but green grass and if it weren't for the curvature of the earth you could see forever. If you get lost in this state you have really worked at it. You can usually see a grain elevator if you look hard enough.
Best wishes, Bill
