Battling the mosquito plague

Looks like the mosquito plague will be with us until at least November given the spate of recent wet weather.
The blood-sucking insects seem so thick in some areas it makes it difficult to be outdoors for any extended period.
But there are ways to repel the critters.
Wear insect repellent:
Products containing DEET, such as Cutter, OFF!, and Skintastic are effective.
Those containing Picaridin (also known as KBR 3023, Bayrepel, and icaridin) also work well. Products containing picaridin include Cutter Advanced and Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus.
Repellents with oil of lemon eucalyptus (OLE) or PMD also are effective, such as Repel and Off! Botanicals.
An ingredient called IR3535 also works. It is found in Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus Expedition and SkinSmart.
Beyond repellents, cover up by donning long-sleeved shirts and pants as well as hats.
Try to keep mosquitoes outside by using air conditioning or making sure screens don’t have small holes that will let in the bugs. Brush yourself off before entering the house to ensure you’re not bringing in hitchhikers. The blood you save may be your own.
