How many milligrams of vitamin B1 should be taken daily to avoid insect bites?

I have been advised to taken a vitamin B1 tablet daily to avoid insect, mainly mosquito bites.
I have purchased thiamine but there is no reccomendation as to how many tablets to take daily. each tablet is 300mg. i am not entering a mosquito area for 14 days, to accumilate the vitamin in my system.

I have NEVER heard of taking Vitamin B to avoid insect bites. I have heard that you should avoid eating bananas and try citrus fruits instead. Apparently these fruits change the way the blood tastes to the mosquito.
