I use mosquito coils to drive them out of the area and Avon to keep them from biting. They are so bad here that without the coils, they are constantly buzzing around my face and arms. Can't stand it. If one or two brave the mosquito coil odor and make it to my arm, they soon fly off because they can't stand the Avon stuff. The good thing about the Avon stuff is that it's not oily or sticky like some of the other sprays.
I bought a whole case of it a few years ago so I don't have to worry about running out.
I have several big "S"shaped hangers that I hang the coils from and I light them with one of those clicker lighter things. I light them about five minutes before I go out.
For stuff like watering and being out for only a short time, I will put on a mosquito net shirt, but with you being in a hot area, you wouldn't want this option.
