anklebear -
Baltimore Jack gave good advice.

The only thing I'd add would be that Supplex has worked well for us for both 
mosquitos and black flies. I have Supplex pants and shirt.  They don't like 
it, don't land on it, don't bite through it.  But that does nothing for the 
areas that are uncovered.  Carry Deet.  And use it.

Walk softly,
Jim
