Does burning Deet actually work? And is it OK to breathe?
I've lost track - Is Zika still a thing down there 
He's in Florida. Mosquitos over there still have the wingspan of pteradons.

No, not for a couple of years. Having said that, yesterday I was looking at the bromeliads in my front border and wondering if I should flush them out just in case.
I hate the no-see-ums more than the mosquitoes.
Where I live, the good news is fewer mosquitoes, due to the drought. The bad news is the drought hasn't taken a dent out of the gnat and deer fly populations.
I'm up in Washington and am dreading the fire flies, if you get my meaning.

Speaking about himself in the third person? I've heard that's a sign of something...

That’s pretty awesome! With that many burning does it do a good job of keeping the bugs away?

I might have to give this a try!!
Candle making?
I'd say entering manopause.

We have dutifully purchased and burned citronella candles for years though they don't seem to do anything, then one day at a garden center we picked up a citronella plant. Whenever we would sit outside we would rub our hands on the plant to release the natural oils and pick some up on our skin, that worked really well. Great plant, easy to care for we would take it along to neighborhood drinkies and sit around it like a bonfire. I wish I could find another one this year, so far nobody has them in stock

Does nothing.
Not so many gnats but yes the deer flys are a pain up here. What we have not had so bad are the ticks, figure it is so hot and dry they don't want to cross the brown vegetation either
I live in the Pacific Northwest and our bugs over here are pathetic. I went to Glacier a few years back and when I was setting up the camp I found out that they had biting flies. Flies that bite. That just isn't right.

That's a horsefly for you. Horse flies are the WORST. They bite and it frigging hurts. I really hate the squitos, but those horse flies need to die die die.
Green Heads are worse than deer flies, on par with a legit horse fly I think.
The Greenies have the advantage of much larger targets - they live at the beach, after all

When I used to camp in the Highlands, I would bring plenty of big cigars. Fire one up as soon as I stopped hiking and started to make camp.
