Doesn't matter what time I go out, they get me. I make sure there is NO standing water, but they must be coming from the woods or something. I tried repellent-- I have some kind of herbal stuff-- but it felt so greasy. Ugh. This year is the worst I have seen them.

Has anyone tried that little fan repellent thing that you can clip on your clothing?
