Default Mosquito Repellant?

Does anyone have any ideas for a green mosquito repellant? I'm allergic to DEET and can't use a lot of the pyrethrin based stuff either. Do you have any tips I can use?

As far as around your patio, deck or porch, you can plant marigolds. They seem to have a bit of success in repelling mosquitoes. I've used the Off! clip on repellent and it works fairly well. You may have to go that route.

Avon skin so soft is supposed to work. I'm not sure if it does though. You can also build a bon fire - smoke usually deters mosquitoes. It sure has been a bad year so far for them.
