It depends on how much you actually use. But more important may
be to bring a mosquito net (or buy one locally on your first day
there). I hope you thought of that.
Also, in my experience most insect repellants don't work or at
least don't work well. Some actually attract mosquitos. Look for
stuff that contains DEET.
