Products SP5432 Picaridin Insect Repellent Spray, 20%, Pump, 3-Ounce, (Pack of 2) (Packaging may vary)

Really works, and doesn’t leave that sticky feeling. Although has a slight smell. The lotion version is even better

I took this with me to Sri Lanka and there were bugs around me almost constantly, I didn’t have one single bite in 5 days of living in extreme natural conditions around tea plants. I even found a honey bee in my room that didn’t bite me because I always had the repellent sprayed on me at all times. The spray is oil based however it absorbs in the skin pretty quickly - plus for those who have dry skin. Additionally, I couldn’t smell it on me although I was wearing it at all times. 100% recommended

I went for a trek in the Malaysian jungle and I used the product both on my skin and on clothes: very effective and no mosquitos or other insects punctures, nor any oily or sticky sensation during the trek.

Product works well I use it for my Son to prevent mosquitos at school. Product arrived well packaged as there had been some leakage inside the bag but otherwise fine.

Really effective and efficient not even one bite in the whole trip.

Compared to other repellents the odour is good especially for kids, no bites while we used it.

Very effective in warding off insects, including sand flies, more effectively than DEET

This is a great product. It is unscented, not greasy and very effective! Easy to pack, however the foil lining of the packs does show up on the TSA scanner. Easier to pack in checked bags. It lasts for quite a long time after application. I have been the only one not being eaten alive by mosquitoes when outside with friends in the evening. Also never found any ticks on me after use. Won’t be without it! It also comes in a 3oz spray that is TSA friendly.

Did some research and this was suggested over spays containing deet. Used by myself and partner during two weeks in Costa Rica. Seemed to be very effective. We only had a couple of bites each while others using things like Jungle Formula had many more. It doesn't damage clothes or equipment, not sticky and no bad smell. One application lasts hours. Definitely recommend

This stuff is awesome. We purchased some waterfront land on the ocean in Va. and have an off-grid camp set up while we slowly build and upgrade the property into our eventual retirement home/farm. The tick, mosquito, fly and gnat populations in this area are insane. I despise ticks especially since one tried to kill me by infecting me with tick fever when I was 5 years old and another gave my son Lymes Disease and put him in intensive care when he was also 5. Both of us were sent to John's Hopkins as 5 year olds because of ticks. I also hate bugspray. It's expensive, the cans of spray don't last long enough and if you leave them sit they'll eventually become empty on their own so stocking up doesn't help much. I started looking for another solution and in 2021 I bought 1 quart of this Picaridin cream. I'm still using the same quart in 2024. Full disclosure, I was the only one in my family that had been using it because everyone else is lazy. You can't just spray yourself real quick and be done. You need to put it on like sunscreen but it doesn't take that much. I'm 6'-2" and 240lbs. I use maybe 2 1/2 squirts of the pump to cover my feet, legs, arms, neck and head. I even rub a little through my hair. I spray my shirt with some form of DEET before I put it on. That's it. It lasts pretty much all day, except the mosquitoes will get me through my shirt later in the day because the DEET will wear off. My family will go through several cans of bugspray to my 2 squirts of Picaridin. The last trip out they finally realized that bugspray actually kinda sucks. So I'm on here buying another quart because I don't want to run out. I bought some cheap rubber gloves from Harbor Freight that I've started wearing when I put on the cream so I'm not eating it off my fingers later in the day. It doesn't wash off really easy which is a good thing, especially if you are a sweater or get in the water. Getting in the water will deminish it's effectiveness but I think it sticks on to you better than spray without a doubt. This stuff also dries quickly, the feeling of it on your skin is much more comfortable than bugspray and it doesn't smell nearly as bad. Mosquitoes absolutely hate it. I've watched them turn complete 180's as soon as they make contact with me. Gnats will land on you but they will not bite. They can still be pretty annoying if you are fishing at night because they'll swarm and tickle you but they do the same with all the other repellants. It repels chiggers and ticks great but if you are spending time in the places I do, you still need to check your underwear band and the other nooks and crannies down in that area where you didn't apply anything. The value this stuff brings is undeniable. $50 for a quart that could last you years as opposed to an $8 can of OFF that will last 1 person a couple days at best and that is assuming you use it up before it dries up on its own, unused. That's it. It is good stuff. In my opinion, and I think I would know, it is more effective, last longer, feels cleaner and is way more affordable then the other altermatives. If you get into the outdoors a lot, buy a quart. You won't regret it.

Ok. Heres the skinny. Dont believe me, research it yourself. 1. Just as effective as deet for ticks and mosquitos according to 3rd party tests. (i trust that more than peoples opinion... think placebo affect of people smelling deet and assuming it works better because it smells like a chemical bomb) 2. MORE effective than deet for biting flies/chiggars/ knats. (third party studies verify this) 3. Virtually scentless! No, seriously, its not marketing bafoonery. 4. Not oily! when it dries, you legit cant feel anything. You dont even know you have anything on. Deet and even the sawyer picaridan spray is a little oily. For what every reason the lotion is less oily than the spray which makes no sense. 5. Lasts longer! for what ever reason the lotion last longer and isnt oily... not sure how that works... 6. Picaridan is non toxic to dogs, deet is highly toxic to dogs. 7. Picaridan doesnt damage synthetic clothing. Deet does. Downsides? The only one i can think of outside of (its a little more expensive) is that it supposedly is not as sweat resistant as oil based deet solutions. Literally, that is the only checkbox in deets favor...
