Default Remedy for early season mosquitos?

I live and hunt in the "dirty south", what do ya'll use to keep the bugs away and stay somewhat scent-free? Do those thermocell things really work?

I not only recommend the thermocell but I Implore that there is nothing that works as well. I would not gointo the woods without one.

I use a bug tammer suit in the early part of the season, its normally so hot down here Ill wear shorts and a t-shirt under the suit and dont sweat nearly as bad. Ive heard that the thermal-cell works pretty well and think I might give that a try this year also, even not getting bit up I still cant stand them buzzen just outside my ears.

Thermacell consistently dominates any pollregarding mosquito control. They truly do work!
