Does anyone have an idea to make me less attractive to biting gnats/noseeums? I spend a lot of free time outdoors gardening and playing with my canine babies. These gnats are brutal. They get you before you know they are around. Living here, mosquitoes have always been a problem, but I believe the gnats might actually be worse. Help!

Ty Avon Skin So Soft. It has a good rep as an insect repellent
three known carcinogens in this product, mineral oil(from gasoline a known carcinogen), urea (formeldyhyde) petrolatum (gasoline). I would not touch this product at all. the public has the right to know about these known carcinogens. publicsright2know.org
"Deet" 100% is supposed to be the best (but only for Adults). It can be bought at camping supply stores, or the likes of Dunham's. The little bugger's love to go to the top of your body, that of coarse being your head. But they don't seem to notice it's actually your head, just going to the top of the body. We used to raise our hand in the air when encountering a large group of them.
Again 100% Deet can be bought in a small, 2 to 4oz container. You'll also notice that it's the main ingredient for sprays like "OFF".
I used vanillia and had great results . the bugs fliew around but did not land on me.
I can tell you what does not work, that's dryer sheets and off.
