I quit using deet on myself when around my own property.
It's just nasty to have on all the time.
We have a large variety of mosquitos along with no-seeums, often in large abundance.
Life in the Everglades taught me a lot about insect control.
The south is pretty comparable to Alaska when it comes to nasty airborne insects that seem like nothing but teeth with wings.
The fans are the ticket for your personal outdoor space.
You gotta use HVLS fans (high volume low speed), they are a common sight in outdoor dining areas at restaurants where the mosquitos dwell.
Often they go unnoticed but they are there primarily for flying insect control.
The concept works just dandy for your personal areas around your home.
I have large box fans I setup for outdoor project work, a good one can cover a large area.
The insect fogging control works well too.
You don't need to use a insecticide that kills anything.
In fact they're less effective than a good repellent.I have to fog about 3 times a week due to our high humidity offering damp wet mornings.
I mix vegetable oil with the repellent so its more effective in my environment.
I use this and other like products.
To each his own.
