Mosquito Shelter

Mosquito Shelter
What is the most effective way to avoid bug bites in the wilderness?

I eat 2-3 plantain pods daily (natural repellant), and I have plenty of deep woods off and other products. I am going deep wilderness camping in July. My main concern is mosquitoes and ticks. I wonder if my dogs spot on tick repellant is safe or effective on humans. Also I will be carring a mosquto net to incorporate into my hand made shelter. Any other suggestions?

I do several things to protect myself from bug bites, and the combination proves mostly effective. but, in honesty, I don’t think any method is 100% effective. I love garlic, so I eat a lot of it! even on my trek into the woods or on a hike over the Pacific Crest Trail. Wear long sleeved shirts in light colors, along with long pants, and a hat. You may be much warmer but, bugs cant bite you through your clothing. I also carry with me a repellent called “Ben’s 100 Max Formula tick and insect repellent”. It’s 98.11% deet and gets sprayed on all my clothing. I use the 50% or 25% on my skin. It lasts 10 hours and I don’t apply it under my clothing. I pay about $6.00 for a bottle and get it from a local surplus and outdoor store. Here is the information for the repellent.
