Not terribly well. I have never had luck with the "natural" repellents. The best stuff I have ever used is the REI Jungle Juice. VERY powerful stuff - works like a charm. Even worked fairly well in Brazil.

REI's jungle juice is the ONLY repellant I have ever used that has worked. Jungle Juice is 95 percent N-diethyl-m-toluamide, thats the stuff to look for, anything under 75 percent is practically worthless.
