Josh in my area we usually try a "decoy" method for skeeters.

Find a woman from Illinois,,tell her there's a party,,get her to sit about 50 yards away from everyone else. Offer her something like a book on "the northwoods" she'll stay there.

This is almost foolproof,,,usually for whatever reason that "decoy" will wear perfume to any party and that attracts any hungry bugs !!!!!

If lacking a woman from that particular state,,most any "city girl" will do.

Might be worth trying some of the citronella products i know you guys over there can get. We use lemon scented patio candles in the summer and the gnats and little mozzies appear to keep a good distance away from where the candles are placed.
