This year I tried the repellent Picaridin, it worked pretty well. Theoretically that does not damage your equipment like Deet can, and I did not observe any damage to anything from using it.

Might have to give that a try. I have ruined some shorts with DEET. I really saw what it can do from a can of Off left in a box in my damp basement for years. The can started to corrode and some of the liquid leaked out. In the same box were some spare audio cables. The DEET melted the outside plastic covering.
