In some people, taking garlic supplements have been known to repel mosquitoes, but I have found this to work against fleas to some degree. try mixing the garlic supplements with some brewers yeast, and take at least twice a day with meals. You can also try sponging your skin with warm water that has lemon juice in it. Allow it to dry on your skin, do not rinse off.
as with anything, these remedies only work to some degree. Even the most over zealous bugs will bite you once in a while regardless of what you put on.
