I never found citronella to be much help (or the Skin So Soft either). We lived in a swampy area of NC and the skeeters were awful. The only thing that I found that helped any was a liberal application of Deep Woods Off - that, and sitting next to my husband. His blood must smell delicious to biting critters because they'd swarm him and leave me alone.
Edit: I guess this answer didn't help much, since Off probably has DEET in it :P
