Figure out where insects traditionally gather. You may be able to avoid dealing with them while you're in the great outdoors. While bugs can be present anywhere, they generally surround bodies of stagnant water. When camping in warm, moist climates, you'll definitely want to avoid still pools and lakes.  A campsite on higher ground is advisable when searching for a spot. Pitching your tent on a hillside is advisable. Avoiding low, flat areas will distance you from any large stagnant bodies of water. Stick to higher ground, even if your area is fairly dry. Any rainfall, even if it is minimal, will attract more bugs to your area. When using a traditional tent without as much protection from the elements, bugs can fly into your shelter with a bit more ease. A waterproof tent, while more expensive, does a great job keeping bugs out. This will eliminate the number of bites that you will get while sleeping. Waterproof tents, while thicker, have more breathability than a traditional tent. This means you won't notice the larger area of protection that surrounds them. Fresh air will flow in and out easily. In addition to a waterproof tent, you may want to invest in preventative bug netting. These netting systems are great for protecting against bug bites during the day. These will fit nicely around a hammock. You'll be able to rest easily while napping.  You can try a free-standing mosquito net. They are basically small tents, held together by metal or plastic frames that can be easily put away. You fit them nicely into a larger tent so that once you zip up the outside of the primary tent, you won't let bugs in. If you aren't camping with a tent, you can use a wedge mosquito net. The net hangs from two suspension points, draping over the sleeping bag or cot that you've brought to the outdoors. This brand of net is easy to set up and quite inexpensive. Be sure that you're using a product that's safe for your skin, as certain repellents are made for the air. Choosing products with the active ingredients DEET or picaridin are often the most successful.  You need to be cautious before using any bug spray. Do not spray in an enclosed area, such as your tent. Only apply to exposed skin; you don't want to spray underneath your clothing. If you want to apply bug spray to your face, spray into your hands first, and then rub the spray onto your face. Spraying directly into your eyes is a bad idea. Always check the label of your repellent before using it on your skin. Using the wrong product can be extremely toxic and dangerous. Explore more natural ways of keeping insects away by creating a natural bug repellent. From lemon eucalyptus oil to vanilla extract, you can use a wide range of easily accessible products and create simple concoctions. It may take you a little while to perfect these recipes. Remember that it's a good way to avoid releasing toxic chemicals into the atmosphere. Toss a stick of sage onto your campfire just before you go to bed to ward bugs away. Most people find the smell soothing, and it's a good way to avoid spraying chemicals around your campsite area.  You can throw fresh or dried sage onto the fire. Hang them in a cool, dry area for a week to let them dry fully. Dried sage can also be used to kindle your fire. Other herbs, such as lavender and mint, can also be used for similar results. Don't allow your skin to show while out in the woods. This invites bites from a large number of bugs.Mosquitos, in particular, will feed upon supple flesh. While the heat may sway you from layering up, you'll be thankful when you aren't scratching at any painful bites.  Make sure that you're wearing long pants while you sleep, as well as socks. Pull your socks over your pants, so bugs can't get into the legs of your pajamas. You'll also want to wear long sleeves, and you should tuck your long sleeve shirt into your waist. All of your sleeping gear should be tight around the ankles, wrists, and your collar. It may be impossible to completely block off your hands and your neck area, but you'll be covering as much skin as you can. Treat your clothing with permethrin, a great bug repellent for killing unwanted insects.
