Into a small bottle (25 mls approximately )put some massage type oil like almond or similar - add a 6-8 drops of tea-tree oil if you can get it where you live and add a similar amount of lavender oil and shake it to mix
Rub onto your skin - the mossies hate it and you will also smell nicer than the commercial sprays etc
I have also been told that using a mouthwash like listerine is a cheap and effective way to stop 'em dead
For the uninitiated or even uneducated mozzys or mossies are the aussie way of talking about mosquitoes - so now you know and don't have an excuse to ask such a question
Here is a site which has other ideas which sound good too

During the burning process keep your distance from the smoke !.!.!. its not that dangerous!.!.!. but we dont want to inhale CO (<---- not sure) right !? Www@Answer-Health@Com

Without spray, all I can recommend is covering yourself up!.

Little blighters get in everywhere!.!.!.
