Pesky mosquitoes

There’s one advantage to the cooler weather we’ve had this spring - it keeps the mosquitoes down. Did you know the city traps mosquitoes and counts them four days a week all summer long? That’s how they determine whether to fog the whole town with repellant. In addition, the city puts repellent in the parks before events like ball tournaments and the arts and crafts festival.
What’s your best defense against mosquitoes? My main strategy is to stay indoors. I’m pretty sensitive to fragrances, so the smell of most repellents bothers me almost more than getting bit.
I’ve heard that vanilla repels mosquitoes. Now that’s a bug spray I wouldn’t mind. Isn’t Avon’s Skin so Soft supposed to be good also? What other products do you recommend?
Do you check your downspouts and other stuff in the yard to make sure they don’t have standing water in them?
