So I guess no one here as tried those clip-on bug repellents? Never tried them myself, though from what I've read, it seems it's reasonably effective, though you'd probably want to use it in conjunction with other repellents. Someone reported a 50-75% decrease in bugs using the clip-on. One of these days I'm going to have to give them a try (though I'll brings some sprays for backup).

The clip on thing sounds good, I haven't tried it yet, but I would like to give it a try.

I would like to try the clip on repellent, it would be great to find something that worked, I always get bitten.

I have heard of some people using dryer sheets. Just put them somewhere on or near you. I haven't tried it yet but will the next time we camp. I've also heard of people eating garlic.

I have heard about using dryer sheets too, I am not quite sure how it works.
