YAK [TheForge] Mosquito control in quench bucket?

When I used to spend a lot more time outdoors I'd eat a lot of garlic
and take garlic supplements. I'd *very* rarely get bit by mosquitoes,
even though my friends would bet bitten by them. I don't really know how
it works, but I was told that it's the smell of the garlic working its
way through the skin.

So I'd bet that just tossing in a couple of crushed garlic cloves would
work.
