You can supplement the diet with some apple cider vinegar or a tiny bit of garlic to scare off bugs or you can also buy neem oil based products or natural oils and make repellent.
How often and when does your vet suggest that you test for heartworms? As I stated above, once the pup has heartworms the damage begins. I would not take ANY risk having seen what I have seen happen to dogs with heartworms.

I hope you and your pups never have to deal with it.
