I've had the best luck with those that are citrus based. However, the mouthwash that Ann suggested may work. I have had great success with spraying the original Listerine in the area as well. Just straight, the gold colored, poured into a spray bottle and then saturate the area. My dad even sprays it on his arms. Although it is sticky, he's always taking a shower after working in the yard any way.
For gnats:
Perhaps the gentlest form of liquid repellent, applied to skin or clothing, is a mixture of one tablespoon of vanilla to one cup of water. Due to its innocuous nature, you can easily apply this mixture around sensitive areas like eyes and ears. The pleasant smell is an added bonus. Store excess in a tightly covered container.
A recipe popular in the UK combines a ratio of four tablespoons of baby oil to one tablespoon of Dettol. Dettol is an over-the-counter antiseptic liquid common in the UK, but perhaps most easily available for purchase online in the U.S.
You can also try a spritz of citrus fruit juice, or essential oils such as citronella, peppermint, pine or eucalyptus. Dilute essential oils with water in a small spray bottle and apply as needed. Remember that just a little essential oil goes a long way, so only add a few drops to the bottle of water.
For mosquitoes:
Lemon eucalyptus oil - You can create your own mixture with 1 part lemon eucalyptus oil to 10 parts sunflower oil or witch hazel.
You can grow lavender in an outdoor garden or in indoor planters. Crush the flowers and apply the oil to bite-sensitive areas of the body, such as your ankles and arms. Also drop some lavender oil on a clean cloth and rub it onto the skin.
When outdoors, citronella candles can provide up to 50 percent extra protection.
