Mosquitoes-crush Lemon Thyme between fingers and rub on skin-they hate it.
Flies-Plant basil, mint and/or lavender-flies hate it, so put a pot on picnic tables and sit one at entrances to deter flies.
Gnats-dab a bit of pure vanilla flavoring on a cotton ball and dab here and there on skin-they hate the smell.
Plant marigolds with tomatoes and bell peppers to keep pests off plants.
