Any bug repellent that really works, especially for the gnats at night?

[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 597907"] Thanks everyone. I was going to post today as well re: mosquitos. I hate the buggers. And I did get a bad allergic reaction to one of the bites. I had to use cortisone cream and take Benadryl tablets. It finally went away (sort of) after about two weeks! The bump was a little bigger than a half dollar. And big time itchy. It left a mark on my arm...a discoloration. Yesterday, I bought two bug zappers. One for the front yard and one for the back pool area, which is screened in. The back area seems to be doing better...but not so much the front. THEN I read on line that the bug zappers are not very effective. I bought some stuff at Whole Foods to spray on myself (repellent). It is so so. I need HELP! Heard a long time ago on Dr. Oz about NEEM oil being good for a variety of things...will likely try it. Would love to hear any more ideas re: mosquito protection. Thank you. by the way, the electric bug zappers might actually work better for gnats than mosquitos! [/QUOTE]
