I had some sort of "issued" bug repellent when I was in the Army down at Benning. Don't know exactly what it was, it came in a plain white plastic bottle, marked "Bug Repellent" in black, but whatever it was it worked! 
I had a bottle of the stuff when I came home & used it until it was gone.
Wish I had some now
