If you want grannies tales and what not, sprays with eucalyptus oil are usually good insect repellents and eucalyptus oil is a natural anti-septic, tea tree oil is supposed to be good too but I haven't used it.

A hardware store near here sells tropical strength/adult only grade insect repellent too, I can vouch for that, mossies seem to love me and that keeps the buggers away.
