We hate mosquitoes, and so companies make a lot of anti-mosquito things: candles, wristbands, chemical and herbal sprays—even electronic devices. But if you want to keep mosquitoes off your bare skin this summer, you really just need two things: bug spray and a fan.
So what does work? Two things, one chemical and one not, which I'll explain below. It's also worth mentioning that you should make sure your yard isn't a mosquito breeding haven. Dump out or take steps to dry up their breeding places (like buckets and puddles) and consider setting up a "bucket of doom" trap. But when it comes to that evening where you'd like to hang out on your porch and need to control the mosquito population ASAP, here are the two things to do:
Get a bug spray that actually works on mosquitoes
DEET was the subject of some fearmongering in previous decades, but it's not actually a dangerous chemical—EPA reviews keep concluding that it's safe when used as directed. (Don't put it on your food or in open wounds, for example. But I hope you weren't going to anyway.) My favorite bug spray is Cutter Skinsations, which doesn't smell as nasty or feel as sticky as some of the more traditional bug sprays out there. It's 7% DEET, which is plenty for most backyard lounging and casual use—but you can buy stronger stuff for, say, camping in a swamp.

Besides these effective strategies, there are a couple more that I didn’t mention because they’re no-brainers: wear long sleeves and pants if you can stand them, and stay inside if you don’t need to be out. I know, those are no fun. So if you want to enjoy your porch beers in shorts and a tank top, get yourself some bug spray and plug in a fan.
