yeah...I figure there is more skin than bugs so if you get bit it's like once every day max. last year I never saw one bug...but I also wasn't lookin for them either...
Anyone have good or bad experiences with Picaridin? It's still a chemical solution but supposedly much much safer and better than DEET and it is widely and easily available. I have heard it works great, as well or better than DEET, and I have heard it doesn't work at all, so I just don't know what to make of it.

I found a sweet bucket hat in a local outdoors store here that has some sort of bug repellent concoction built into it. I don't know how it works, but it seems to do the trick pretty well... It's called Buzz Off or something, I'll search for it online and post a link to it later if I'm successful.
EDIT: Ok so I found it faster than anticipated... here's a link to the specific hat that I got, but there's a lot of other clothing they have and I know the hat atleast works real well, and is very convenient for Roo.

Here's a recipe for a natural bug repellent for those of you who don't like those chemicals in bug spray:
5 drops patchouli oil 2 oz. witch hazel 8-10 drops cedar wood
Mix & put in spray bottle. Apply often.
I haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure it would work...AND smell good!
Don't forget the eye of noot! OK, so what the heck is "witch hazel"?
It's a plant. "The bark and leaves are astringent; the extract, also referred to as witch hazel, is used medicinally. Extracts from its bark and leaves are used in aftershave lotions and lotions for treating bruises and insect bites. Witch-hazel is the active ingredient in many hemorrhoid medications. The seeds contain a quantity of oil and are edible."

Don't know if the rest of you are having trouble with buffalo flies (gnats) but have found that vanilla extract put on like perfume works to keep them away (it has to be natural vanilla extract not artificial)
Scientifically proven true!! See this report from the Social Issues Research Center:
A number of women’s magazines have recently carried good-news reports claiming that the smell of cinnamon buns has been proven to ‘boost male erections’ – some use the more scientific-sounding euphemism ‘increase penile blood-flow’. A few reports also mention lavender.
In fact, the study in question – conducted by the Smell and Taste Research Foundation in Chicago – discovered only that ‘in those with a normal olfactory ability, a variety of odours can increase penile blood-flow’. These odours included pumpkin pie, liquorice, doughnuts and lavender, and various combinations of these, as well as oriental spice and cola. The most effective were a lavender/ pumpkin pie mixture, a doughnut/ black liquorice mixture and a pumpkin pie/doughnut mixture – but the results depended on other factors such as whether the participants’ partners wore cologne and how many times they had had intercourse in the last month.. In short, the only reliable conclusion to be drawn from this is, as the authors themselves admit, that all sorts of smells can increase penile blood flow.
