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.

Plant based. Smells nice rather than chemical smell a lot of insect spray brings.

This stuff works. But you need to be generous with how much you apply.

This has a light scent helps so much. Mosquitoes and biting flies absolutely love my blood. The Mosquitoes itch like fire and the flies bite and chew hard painfully. This sorts them both out. I highly recommend. There's also a pump version in a purse size.

Smells good works great

The spray is a fine mist and the smell is pleasant. I love having an alternative to DEET.

Contents are good but the actual sprayer mechanism was faulty and I was unable to use the bug spray.I like this product but not the new sprayer.

Got best reviews on Consumer Reports for a natural product - even better than those with DEET. Lasts about 4-6 hrs before having to reapply. Have purchased several as I'm really allergic to mosquitos.
