Thermacell really works.

Especially if the wind is not blowing. Read and follow the instructions and they work as described.

If you can't keep them away, go to Harbor Freight and get an Electronic Fly Swatter.
Then have fun eliminating the annoying little flying things while you're sitting outside. ๐Ÿ™‚

Citronella candles have worked good for us.

For flies, Hang plastic baggies with water and a penny in them.

I use Off! spray and a citronella candle on the picnic table for mosquitos. Pretty good luck with it.

I've had fairly good luck with the Repel Mosquito lantern/fan. Not a very large area and needs to be up wind.
