I cannot remember the last time wore a headnet... avoid bananas and beer...
He ain't hunting from a boat....
Beer and bananas are the only two things I have read that attract bugs. I stop drinking beer for the summer (accept the gin and tonic bill) and especially drop bananas. I find most around me are swatting and slapping while DEET keeps me mostly bug free. I have very little response to bites and they generally are gone within an hour or so.
