Bug SootherMAX - Extra Strength Natural Gnat, Tick, and Mosquito Repellent, 2 Pack 8 fl oz w/Free 1 oz. DEET-Free Bug Spray Deterrent - Safe for Adults & Environment - Made in USA

The smell is great it is a little strong but it's essential oils which I don't mind. It isnt gross like other brands. My kids play in the woods and I haven't seen a tick on them since we started spraying this on them. The spray is a mist so you don't get to much. It's easy to pack without be bulky or spray on its own since it comes with a cap!

I sat in some grass with my son (6) and cousin (1) after we were sprayed with this tonight. Usually we are eaten alive in this area, BUT we weren’t tonight. This spray is awesome and smells way better than bug spray. I was amazed at watching the mosquitos fly right by us. It is also nice that it has oils that are actually good for your skin and not toxic. Highly recommended!!!

Works good but smells!

It works. I am currently in an area of Florida where Hurricane Ian took out all the creatures that eat mosquitoes and no-see-ums. So these horrible blood sucking insects have multiplied to where they are more than a nuisance. There’s 21 bites just on my arms. I am the one they love and that usually means anyone around me is safe. But my whole family is bit up too. It’s like they’re starving and we showed up just to be their feast. They are ruining our vacation. So I ordered this along with $100 of other things to try. They still approach me when I spray this, but I see them fly away when they get close. Sadly due to their numbers, they are still biting where I haven’t sprayed - like my jaw and toes. And through my shirt! Seriously. Choice words. So it does work where you spray it. And I would suppose that if I wasn’t in a petri dish environment with famished microscopic monsters, it would work even on areas I didn’t spray. The scent is bearable. And I like that it doesn’t have deet. I also sprayed it on my dog’s back to keep them away as he is low to the ground and stirs them up in the grass. I see them fly away from him too. It works but I do have to apply liberally for total repulsion.

I purchased this bug repellant last year, especially for the reason that it claims to repel gnats and no see ums, also because the long list of natural plant oils made sense as bug repellants, and it Works!! Yay! I'm in Central Florida, we have bugs galore here, and mosquitoes don't care if it's getting cooler in December/January they are out year round save the 2 or 3 days the temp lowers to 40, this stuff really works. I do a lot gardening so I'm out there all day/afternoons, and I don't have to slap myself in public or eat and inhale gnats when I'm gardening any more. You should know it does have a strong minty eucalyptus scent that quiets down when it dries, and you do have to refresh spray every 3 hours or so. No complaint from me, I adopt it as my special Summer Fragrance :}

Great smell, great ingredients. Son is highly allergic to mosquitoes and never gets bit wearing this.

I tried the 1st time this evening. I didn't realize that instructions are to spray liberally directly on your clothes. I've never done this b4. But I did, and it's a no no for me. The smell is overwhelming, you can't sweat it away, so it was too strong for me on my clothes. Mosquitos, gnats and flies are awful for us in the summer. I had 2 Mosquitos land on my arm but I shooed them away. Didn't come back. I would advise to order a travel size if offered and try it 1st.

I tried the repellent as my mosquito service treated our property but recent heavy rains must have washed away the treated areas. It is environmentally safe what they apply. So I needed a spray on repellent until our property gets treated again. I tried the repellent for the first time but the smell is absolutely awful. It works if you can tolerate the smell. I’ve always been known to be a super smeller so this one is on my list to avoid. I really have to say that it does repel mosquitos and found out that I missed some spots and they found them and got bites there. I will not order this one again and would give this one away for any takers.
