Don't be afraid of DEET "People have the notion that DEET is synthetic and therefore it's not a good thing," says Leal. "But it's so effective and so good that it's lasted for more than six decades." No other product has been tested for safety and effectiveness in repelling insects more than DEET, Leal says, and reports of health risks have largely been overblown. Plus, it's the only type of repellent that the CDC recommends for tick protection. It's safe to use on children 2 months and older.

"If you're going to stay outside and you don't want to bother with reapplying many times, I think DEET is the best thing we have on the market," Leal says. For most purposes, formulations containing 20% DEET are effective, says Leal.

There is one downside to DEET: it has a pesky plasticizing effect that can damage fabrics, surfaces, and materials. It won't harm cotton, wool, or nylon, but materials like rubber, plastic, leather, vinyl, spandex, and even auto paint are fair game, so be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after handling it.

Candles and bracelets don't work
Rodriguez has studied devices like oil of lemon eucalyptus bracelets and ultrasonic devices, and found none of them to be effective against mosquitos. "At this point in my research, I would strongly suggest spray-on repellents," she says. You can also forget about citronella candles—research shows don't work any better than regular candles at keeping bugs at bay. If keeping bugs out of your backyard is your goal, then your best bet is to eliminate standing water, where mosquitoes thrive.
