Summary: Best non-deet repellent I've tried
Comment: I've never been comfortable using deet on my now 4 year old, and I've pretty much tried every alternative on the market. This one works best by far. The only thing I've found is that it must be reapplied often to work well. My backyard is heavily populated with mosquitos, and this one even repels asian tigers if applied liberally and once every hour or so. This is the one to use if you don't like using deet!

Summary: Best "natural" product
Comment: I have tried every "natural" repellant on the market and this is easily the best if have used. I have tried products with a vanilla base, pepermint base, and catnip base. Most of these went away quickly because they simply didn't work. Most of the natural brands nowadays are combinations of citronella, lemon grass and eucalyptus and they are fairly common. Burt's Bees, NOW brand and others come to mind. These actually work pretty good for mosquitoes in Amarillo TX area, however they aren't very effective against aggressive biting flies around here.This product works better than others on mosquitoes(I guess we do not have the Asian Tiger) and WAY better against flies. It doesn't smell that bad. Citronella and DEET smell funny for that matter. If these products smelled really good, they would probably attract bugs and would be called perfume. A word of caution: Most folks with any knowledge at all have become aware that DEET is harmful, especial for young kids whose brains are still developing. Lots of these same folks never think about the carrier chemicals used in name brand "natural" repellants. I have one from WallyWorld that has Di-n-propyl isocinchomeronate and N-Octyl bichloheptene dicarboximide for carrier chemicals. It also has "inert ingredients" that aren't named. Scientists are starting to take a skeptical look at these carrier chemicals since they are not well studied, especially in combination with the myriad of active ingredients with which they are frequently combined. I prefer not to slather them over my own body and absolutely WILL NOT use them on my grand kids! Bite Blocker uses only food-grade plant-based ingredients including soybean oil and geranium oil and is rated "safest for kids" by ConsumerSearch(consumersearch.com). I prefer the lotion; a little more trouble to put on, less waste and more effective. Use the spray for touch ups. It works good for us.

Summary: Repellent? Really?
Comment: I wanted a deet free product for my toddlers. I tried this for a trip to Mn. We were in a deep woods area.
This product smells horrible (like what I would imagine rotten garlic would smell like) The smell does not fade. My children were swarmed & bitten by every kind of bug with this on. It seemed to attract them! I seriously had to run into our cabin with my kids & when inside I had to pick off deer flies from my son's head (a very dangerous-nasty bug to be bit by) I immediately gave them a bath to get the product off.
We were forced to run into town & buy a deet product. My husband still jokes about the "bug attractant" I put on the kids.
