The Vest Insect Repellent I've Ever Purchased

The vest indect Repellent I've ever purchased. Works well, and keeps the mosquitoes 🦟 away as long as I'm doing outdoors activities. It's a bit oily when you spray it on but it quickly dries up. There's hardly a smell to it. I love it and will purchase more in the future.Ver más

This is the real-deal, no-B.S., DEET formula that gets the mosquitos off of you.

This is the real-deal, no-B.S., gets the mosquitos off of you, DEET formula that is what I use when it's time to get the mosquitos, gnats, no-see-ums, and sand flies/biting midges away from you.For many years now I have been using a popular plant-based lemon-eucalyptus insect repellent that is DEET-free, due to wanting a less-toxic, more "natural" alternative, to DEET-based sprays. My experience with the lemon-eucalyptus formula is that it can be effective (and is great smelling), but only for a few minutes, and I need to reapply the lemon- eucalyptus compound constantly, every ten or maybe even five minutes, for it to stay effective against the flying pests that are out there.In 2023 I wound up doing several months of summer work in a remote mountainous area in the western United States. Though usually a dry climate, that was a banger moisture year and the flying insects were atrocious. I initially began using my preferred lemon-eucalyptus oil but found it almost completely ineffective due to the sheer volume of flying pests and insects I was getting swarmed and bitten by, each night at camp. That summer I switched back to DEET and went with the Repel 100. The situation was so serious, I was not going to mess around with partial blends or a dilute DEET. I wanted 100% strength/power/efficacy.It had been a few years since I had used Repel and Repel DEET-containing products but upon picking some of this up and applying it, the scent and slightly oily texture immediately brought me back to childhood memories of campfires, camping, ball games, and being out in cool summer evenings slathered in Repel's DEET spray, munching on marshmallows in plumes of campfire smoke.Fast forward back to 2023 up there in the mosquito-infested mountains of the rural west, and this Repel DEET-based spray worked when the lemon-eucalyptus oil would not. Once applied, the clouds of some of the largest mosquitos I had ever seen, stayed away from me.Since that summer, I have been back on the DEET. I still use the lemon-eucalyptus but I keep this Repel 100 DEET formula on hand just incase I decide to head up to the mountains or out on a camping trip that's going to take me to a place where there might be a heavier flying insect load that I am generally exposed to at home.Please note that DEET is highly effective as a tick repellent. With the dramatic increase in tick-borne diseases in North America over the past two decades, Repel 100 is a good idea and effective at keeping ticks off of you. I use Permethrin on my clothes but Permethrin cannot be applied directly to the skin so that's where the DEET comes in. Lemon-eucalyptus oil also can serve as a tick repellent but as I've noted above, my experience indicates that lemon-eucalyptus compounds just don't have the "oomph" necessary to keep insects away and off of you with the intensity and duration that DEET does.Stay safe out there, everybody.Ver más

Great stuff

I recently used this while camping, amongst other outdoor functions and didn’t get one bite. This is my second time purchasing this stuff. I just don’t like the smell of bug spray which can linger for a while, and it’s more a spritz when it comes out then a spray so I had to rub it in and I hate when bug spray gets on my hands but if you don’t mind that it’s great stuff to keep the mosquitos away. I let friends and family use it and they all asked for the link!Ver más

Not a single bug bite!

Worked like a charm! I worked 10-hour days in a heatwave during a summer festival and didn't have a single bite on me after. It looked greasy at first, but not after rubbing it in. I probably only reapplied once during the day and am bite-free!
