Repel Plant-Based Lemon Eucalyptus Insect Repellent, Oil

Let me try to be thorough:Repel is a well-known name in the field of insect-repellent, so it was comforting to find a DEET-free option.Living in an endemic area for ticks where Lyme disease is an annual-affair, I always need proper coverage. I am allergic to pyrethrins, and when I put DEET-containing product on my skin, I feel unwell.When I am either in the deep woods for recreation, or am landscaping, using a repellant is always top of my list. Having had Lyme disease and babesiosis, I am conscious about the ticks.I had found this product a couple years ago in pump-spray and learned a couple things:• keep it away from your eyes-this is a must.• apply liberally to your skin before you get dressed. I recommend standing in your tub or shower and spray this onto your hands and then rub onto your skin, rather then spraying it onto yourself because you wouldn't want it to get into your eyes.• for extra protection, spray your clothes and shoes/boots separately with a pyrethrin (if you are not allergic) or a DEET-containing product before putting them on. I hang my clothes outside, cover my face with a mask, spray my clothes and boots thoroughly with DEET, let them dry, then get dressed.• wash your hands thoroughly so you don't accidentally rub your eyes with this on your hands.It works very well for an extended time, and you become accustomed to the smell, which is potent to repel the insects, but pleasant.It washes cleanly off of your skin with a proper dish-washing liquid. I typically wash with dish-liquid first, rinse well, then use my favorite body wash after I have been landscaping for both washing this from my skin and taking extra precaution from being exposed to poison ivy.

I love this stuff. It works great and mosquito thick Florida and it does great against all kinds of bugs once I put it on I have no problem and I love the new design with the can. I bought the same product in a plastic bottle before and sometimes it cracks and so forth, but the can is great and repel comes out nicely with a can

We are at WAR with the mosquito population on our property. I refuse to use deet or chemical pest control, so this spray saves us. I keep multiple bottles in our back and front yard to make sure one is always within reach. Personally, while the scent is strong, I don't mind it at all and I'm very picky about fragrance. May it disgust every mosquito within 10 miles of me.

Deet Free is good, strong smell and works fine. Like any spray, don't apply to skin cut or it will burn. I like to spray on my hand and apply to skin. Don't apply too much and it should be good.

This product works to prevent mosquito bites. I am not sure I love the smell but I appreciate it's effectiveness in keeping the bugs away. I was looking for a product that was DEET-free and an easy to use spray. Its lightweight feeling is not sticky and does not appear to stain clothing. Happy customer!

Being the mosquito magnet that I am , I can honestly and with great joy report that this product really does work !! The only small drawback for me is the smell. Not really bad , It just over powers everything but given the choice of being eaten alive or the smell ? ... I'm going with the smell.

This works so well for my kids and myself. We spent a week in the woods at camp, and when we had it on, we found zero ticks and did not have bug bites! I love that it is a safer option for the kids but keeps the bugs away. It smells very strong of “citronella.” I don’t mind the smell, but some may think that it smells too strong. Overall, it is a wonderful product.

The pricing was good on this so I thought I'd check it out. The eucalyptus smell is OVERWHELMING. We used it up, but wow, the scent is just too much! Our dogs and our friendly neighbor dog would not approach us, and I don't feel it actually helped much with mosquitoes.
