We have used 3M Ultrathon which works for both mozzies and no-see-ems. It is 33% deet so you might not want to use it on a young child. We have also found Naturapel to be effective. It is not a deet product but has Picariden [sp] which, despite the name, isn't any more natural than deet. Our daughter-in-law used the Naturapel on our grandson (about 9 months old at the time) and it was effective. We haven't found any sprays to be really effective outdoors, i.e., on the porch, but the coils do work somewhat.
