I assume that you're talking about being able to go outside your home, rather than camping?

The smoke baths are supposed to be effective control out in the boondocks, but you'll reek of smoke.

Quoted from another thread:

Robert has an interesting video on a long lasting treatment of soaking and air drying your outdoor clothing in permethrin if you really want to repel chiggers, ticks and mosquitoes for ~$6:

I bought some and have it in with the preps in case we have to be outside. He says that it lasts through many washings.
