I use Sawyer Picaridin spray. It doesn't smell bad like deet does and doesn't damage plastic if it gets on it.

That is pretty much the gold standard.
In Orlando, the mosquitos are really bad this year. I have a Zap-It! Bug zapper which gives a very satisfying zap when you hit an insect and Picaridin spray which lasts 12 hrs (it really does seem to last that long) and works better than anything I have tried - zero bites since I have used this stuff - it doesn't smell but it does leave a very slight film on the skin. If you aren't bothered by that, I would recommend giving it a try.
I use the zapper when they are annoyingly flying around and I feel like playing Zeus while ending their lives with a bolt of lightning.
I haven't tried the Thermocell due to cost - Thermocell and refills - but I will keep that in mind if the Picaridin is no longer effective. Glad you found something that works!
