I really like this, but only thing is the smell is super strong. didn’t irritate my girls skin or nothing

Smells amazing, works well, and decent ingredients. Would recommend!

Not a fan of the smell. Used a few times and it seemed to effective, however, the scent was so off putting to me that I tossed it.

I'm someone who tends to get eaten alive by mosquitoes. I was very skeptical this would work, as most things don't seem to work well for me, or I tend to be allergic to them and either way I end up being itchy. I was skeptical also because it seemed more natural, so I wasn't sure if it could be effective enough. I used it while we sat outside on Halloween passing out candy, and I was shocked that I was not covered in mosquito bites like I normally would be. I was very impressed with this product.

I'm a mosquito magnet. I live in SoCal, and ankle biters have been problematic over the last few years, not to mention mosquitoes carrying the west nile virus this year. Every time I go out to water plants, use my grill, or talk to neighbors, I get multiple bites on my arms and legs. Sometimes I get bitten just going a few steps from the car into the house or visa versa. I get mosquito bites in the evening while indoors. These bites burn, then itch. Very annoying! I wanted a repellent without deet and saw this. On Labor Day, I smoked a rack of baby backs in my grill, which is a 6-hour process, not counting lighting the pellets and bringing the grill up to temp. Thus, I was in and out of the house a good chunk of the day. I am happy to say that I did not get one mosquito bite--not one. The smell is pleasant, and the repellent does not leave my skin sticky or gooey. I'm a very happy camper.

… but because it doesn’t have all the nasty feet chemicals in it that also means it’s not QUITE as effective as the other stuff. But I’d still chose this over the other aerosol deet stuff!!

I was specifically looking for lemon eucalyptus oil as an ingredient because it is said to be more effective than citronella essential oil and I picked this spray up. The recent resurgence of malaria was disconcerting, so I wanted a mosquito spray that really works. My family has literally watched mosquitos fly toward them and then catch a whiff and fly in the opposite direction, so that speaks highly of this stuff! That said, I had purchased a different Murphy’s brand previously (more expensive) and the smell of that one wasn’t quite so strong and it worked great too. This one threw my migraine into overdrive a few weeks back so I don’t use it personally. Just sharing for those who are scent sensitive. Otherwise, my family loves it, it’s not chock full of nasty DEET, and it really does work!Editing to say:It’s been another hot, muggy, buggy summer on a farm next to woods and water with tons of mosquito habitats. My migraines chilled and my whole family practically lived outdoors and wore this spray constantly, myself included. We were buying it by the 6-pack. No hesitation to put it on my youngest or oldest family members. We just try to spray our arms, legs, necks, and then walk through to fresh air because it is strong going on. Smells pleasant after a time and definitely works! We re-apply if it’s an especially long, sweaty day but these bottles last a good long time and are worth their weight in gold. We ran out and bought the Murphy’s brand again and actually prefer the sprayer on these bottles so much more!

I forgot to use this on day one of my holiday and was bitten by mosquitoes around 8 bites. I never forgot again and was only bit twice then for the whole week. I will always buy this for future holidays, it’s expensive but worth it. Lasts a long time and you only need a little. After a week of 4 adults using, there was half a bottle left. Smell is not fantastic but not horrid.

The scent is lovely, especially compared to literally every other bug spray. It does keep mosquitoes off of you and seems to help some against gnats and black/stable flies as well. Does nothing for deer flies, but no spray will since they hunt by sight not smell.But the biggest advantage of this spray was totally unexpected - it COOLS YOU DOWN. Think Vicks vapo-rub. I assume it’s the eucalyptus. I spray it on every morning before going outside to work and, instead of sweating profusely, feeling dizzy, miserable, and getting dangerously dehydrated, i sweat about as much as a normal human being. But this makes every breeze a cool breeze. It’s absolutely refreshing. It makes being outside relaxing and pleasurable rather than the absolute nightmare that coastal virginia summers usually are. I can’t stress enough what a game changer this is for me. I’m extremely heat intolerant, have had heat stroke a few times and heat exhaustion dozens of times. It makes a 90 degree day with 85% humidity tolerable, and with a fan nearby it helps in even hotter, more humid conditions.I have some sort of reaction to products with DEET - it slowly but surely makes my skin feel like it’s on fire, which obviously makes heat and humidity worse, and I start sweating even more profusely than I would without it, to the point that it starts running into my eyeballs. I still use deet based sprays on my clothes, where it will have minimal skin contact, but use this spray anywhere skin is exposed.I actually went and looked up the safety studies on this stuff on the epa website and read the 26 page registration eligibility document to see how safe it really was, since I apply this at least twice, usually 3 to 4 times a day. Besides the nauseating descriptions of the lab experiments that sprayed it into rabbits’ eyeballs and let it fester for 24 hours, among other cruelties (which are not just standard, but required for FDA approval/registration, so the manufacturer can’t be faulted here), the document was reassuring in showing that the spray has no apparent negative effects in the short term, and appears to have none in the long term as well. But even if it did I don’t think I’d stop using it 😂It does need to be reapplied every few hours and NEVER let it get into your eyes - the bunnies took that blow for us and suffered greatly for it - please do not waste their sacrifice. Some lab rats also took one for the team by showing that you shouldn’t inhale it - but the effects they experienced were, in my humble opinion, more likely due to an insanely high dose being intranasally administered continuously for 4 hours, rather than passively inhaling a typical amount one might breathe in during spray application. The oral administration tests had similarly awful results, but i opine once again that the ludicrously excessive conditions they were subjected to were more likely the cause. Still - don’t drink or inhale it.

Best natural Product, Researched all online and found tests carried out in lab by a scientist that this product works best for Mosquitos and is deet free. I highly recommend it. but please ensure country address details for delivery are highlighted and correct.

does the job

I’m a mosquito magnet and usually suffer badly in tropical destinations (extreme swelling of bites). I’ve tried other DEET and alternatives before but this was the best yet (used throughout Colombia). Hardly any bites at all and it smells very nice too. I did take Benadryl once a day too so perhaps the combo was the magic this time

I've has this a while but hadn't used it as I wanted to use up my other mossie repellents first. Used it in Portugal in May and have to say it was brilliant. I am a magnet for Mossies and react badly to them so I am always very careful what I use. I was nervous about using it the first time as I didn't really trust it and wasn't looking forward to getting bitten.It has a pleasant strong lemon smell to it and goes a long way, I found it also cooled my skin. I did get one bite on my face but I did not have a reaction to it which makes me think that the mossie didn't like the taste or smell so didn't hang around long enough to do their usual damage to me. This bottle will last me about half a dozen two week holidays so its value for money. Going to test it in Greece later in the year which will be a tough test as the mossie's there queue up waiting for me to land!!!
