Does anyone know of bug sprays that don't smell so bad?? I don't want to pay for something really expensive, but I really don't like the smell of bug spray. I know they have fruity scented kids' stuff, but you can still smell the bug spray underneath.

My friend says lavender doesn't attract mosquitos.. anyone know anything about this?

I remember reading in an old CosmoGirl! that mixing basic moisturizer (unscented, etc) and eucalyptus oil would repel mosquitoes. It's an essential oil that you can probably find at health stores~

There is a product by Avon called Skin So Soft which some say works for them to keep mosqiutos away. Another good one that is weird is dryer sheets! If you rub a scented one all over you and then put it in your pocket they will stay away. Apparently they dont like the smell.
