I live in a very heavily wooded area, after a rain fall when grounds are still damp Citronella candles do not work as well as when grounds are dry. I use OFF repellent, I spray it onto the palms of my hands then pat my arms and any exposed body areas, I also "pat" it on my face, hair and clothing. I do the same for my boy, spray onto my palms, then lightly pass my palms over the back of his hair , I do not rub it on him, just pass it over the tips on his back. Mowing the lawn I am attacked my gnats I do the same thing.
Have no solution for poison ivy, thankfully I do not have any.
