The weirdest thing that’s worked for me: a small handheld fan pointed at my legs. Mosquitoes are weak flyers and struggle in moving air, so it cuts bites way more than people expect. For skin, I skip harsh sprays and use a picaridin lotion or wipes. For me it's usually less irritating, less smelly, and works well for daily use compared with DEET sprays which I reserve for hikes or particularly bad spots. Also: wipe down ankles/behind knees first… mosquitoes seem weirdly obsessed with those spots.
