Works without being repulsive!
Effective! Spent a month in Africa and was largely unbothered by mosquitoes. It didn't stink or eat plastic either.

Effective but terrible value
The product works well, it’s not as greasy as DEET sprays, but still tastes terrible if you sweat some down to your lips. The biggest downside is how far it goes. I only got 4 or 5 arm leg and neck sprays out of it before it was empty. Definitely not worth the $12 price tag for a full size bottle like that. It’s a shame you can’t return an empty product because it certainly feels like fraud.

Excited about the effects!

A complete game changer! I suffer from skeeter syndrome and was depressed about this coming summer. I did research, purchased & have no regrets as of yet. It's been a month and haven't had issues. My living environment currently has a lot of water around & the mosquitoes are crazy aggressive! This product has pleasant smell and not sticky or agitates my sensitive skin issues.

Excellent bug repellent!

I bought this for my recent trip to Shenandoah National Park. I was the only one in my group of four that didn’t have ticks all over me and mosquitoes assaulting my face. Love it! It didn’t leave much of a residue on skin and I couldn’t see it on my clothing. Just finished the can while hiking today

Way better than pump bottles!

Fantastic way to apply bug spray. Mists the same as on spray sunscreen. Way better than traditional pump type bottles.

Great Bug Repellent

I have used this against the mosquitoes in Alaska and the biting flies, ticks, and chiggers in the Pine Barrens with great success. Highly recommend. I normally avoid the woods in the summer, but now feel confident hiking year round.
