During gun season last year I was right on top a mosquito pit it seemed but I had all kinds of signs in that area so I set up a gravity feeder right there. I Was about 100 yards away from the feeder and the skitters were still nailing me bad. Next week when I hunted the spot I made sure to get some Repel with Deet in it and sprayed the inside of my clothing. Worked like a charm came home with a nice size doe that very day.
