First round in shorts this year yesterday. A good dose of Auten spray on both legs, Johnson and Johnson product. The two whopping bites on my legs suggest it is not fit for purpose 
Anti Mossie sprays.

Wish this thread had been started before recently playing in Louisiana. Caught about 5 of the buggers on my leg whilst playing (satisfying slaps and a splash of blood left on my legs).
The next morning I counted 16 bites... just on my left leg. There were a further 10 on the right, 3 on my neck and back (they'd gone through my polo!) and about 5 on my arms.
Thankfully they didn't get too itchy so no side effects other than looking like an idiot around the pool.
The following day went on a swamp tour and stopped enroute at a walmart to buy some full length clothes and mosquito repellent only to arrive and be told that there were no mosquitos there as the trees gave off a natural repellent so they were unable to breed!

Did they tell you what the tree repellent was? Had someone taken it and turned it into a product to be bought? It clearly worked

They didn't but it was true, there were no mosquitos to be seen and it was perfect conditions - stagnant water, humid and no wind. Lots of Gators though.
