Mosquito Spray-Birdy
I have been using products with a 20% solution of Picaridin (or icaridin) in them.
Picaridin has been recommended by the WHO and the Centers for Disease Control and Protection for use against biting insects (mosquitos, black flies, no-see-ums, and ticks) and protects as well as DEET without unpleasant side effects. The best part is that it isn't oily, smells pleasant, and it works! It's safe as long as used according to directions.
A lot more brands are offering it now, such as Cutter Advanced, Sawyer Premium, and Repel Smart Spray.
So, if you are concerned about long-lasting protection, consider the Picaridin products. The ones I use claim to protect for 8-12 hours if used as directed
