Default What do you people do about early season Mosquitoes?

Therma Cell? Bug Spray? Man-up and do nothing?

What tricks do you use?

Thermacell. No such thing as early season, they're all year long here in Florida.

I have never done anything about them, and they can get pretty bad in October in Virginia. I try to cover all parts of my body up, minus my eyes and just deal with them. It also helps not to be located near any swamps or marshy areas during the early season. I am too paranoid that bug spray or even a thermacell would spook the deer.
