Little update on the mosquito situation and some of the proposed fixes.
Thermacell did cut down the numbers that were around me, but the ones that stayed had no problem with it and tried their best to chow down. It did work pretty well in some other spots that were less mosquito infested.
Luckily I picked up a rain suit at wally world that they were unable to penetrate. $20 for the suit, which is made out of some sort of lightweight fabric that is rainproof yet breathable which is a nice alternative to those nylon suits that'll make ya sweat. Holding it up to the light it appeared to not be porous which is why I figured they wouldb't be able to penetrate it.
So aside from my face and hands I am mosquito proof. Need some good thick gloves and a headpiece.
So the rainsuit is the clear winner although probably a combination of that with something to repel them so there's not a constant swarm around which is more just an annoyance than anything.
Thanks for that info about the dryer sheets Pro Headies. I'm gonna give that a try next time. Much cheaper than buying a replacement tank for the thermacell.

Olive oil worked good for deer flies in Co...
there is a rarely used trick... you need a diversion... like something that attracts all the bugs to it and away from you... you need a small cuban child (mosquitos like cubans, who knew?) and not any cuban american immigrants but authentic cubans, they can taste the difference, something in the american diet I guess... you can see why it's so rare
