Stopping Bug Bites

The weather has been a little warmer the last couple of days which means all the bugs have come out to play. Unfortunately these little critters think that me and my little girl taste great. I've already got three bits on my face and five on my leg.
I want to know if anyone has any remedies that I can use to stop the bugs biting in the first place. I'm really looking for something natural, especially for using on a two years olds delicate skin.
Thanks!

I find that citrus oil spray is a fairly good repellant and a solution of tea tree oil to put on the bites. I believe you can buy a citrus mosquito spray at chemists, it's worth a try hun

Burt's Bees make all natural products. They have lip balm, lotion, but also insect repellant type spray. I actually have some of it, and not only does it work, but the smell isn't bad, and I never felt greasy after spraying it on myself. I don't have the bottle with me, but I would assume it would be okay for a two year old. You can find Burt's Bees products a number of places.

Natural soaps or detergents. Have to get it off when you come back in, or your skin will get dry.
