I just tried the Bite Shield sold by Lentek International. It has a small and very quiet fan that pushes a scent (smells a little like Citronella) and is supposed to keep the skeeters away. It definately did not work for me. They would virtually land on the thing.

I have heard good things about the Thermocell but don't know if anyone can tell me if it definately works 100% or it helps, or whatever. Thanks.
