With JS Carr, grew most of us up with DEET and not thought a whole lot of them. Well, those days are over. DEET is still widely used because it is so darn efficient. If you keep away mosquitoes, you need to know, you can count on DEET. In contrast, you probably said, you can try a special beauty lotions and found that although the works are little, you still have to thoroughly revised and with bugs to do much. It turns out that nature has some tricks of its own. Well, insects "systems" ... Nervous system? neurological? is there a difference? I do not know, and it does not matter for these purposes ... Insects are a lot of very frequent connections disrupted produced by plants. It is no coincidence. Plants produce these compounds to protect themselves from being eaten by insects (they do not like it much either bugs!) These plants include some of the mint, geranium, lemon, eucalyptus and this. Lemon eucalyptus is really what they do outside of lemongrass. I personally never had any luck with lemongrass. Oil of lemon eucalyptus works best. But this stuff does not work and the DEET? Absolutely not. If you spend a week in a swamp, then * not * find the appropriate relief of this (nor, probably, by DEET, for that matter). However, if you plan to grill in the back with your children and dog racing and wants to be able to get some protection that has no health problems, but really something, then n is not bad to have a bottle in the around. I wish it were in mint oils because I found them to be even more effective. If you are a camper (especially a car camper), this is a good spray to have around for when the bugs start coming out, but you may not want to rely on fully or bugs are really bad Related: My neighborhood has a lot of paper wasps and I have found EcoSmart Wasp & Hornet Killer 14 oz. Aerosol (2 Pack) to 100% perfect in killing them. It has mint oils and I am confident that close to the wasps before they have a chance to upset and Sting have children .... and does so with a pleasant smell to boot. I have also seen and used mosquito spray based on the coin to set up a "perimeter" and protect a large area for a night that I found to be 100% effective. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Pump Users wrong by Converse I bought it last month after reading the July 2010 Consumer Reports (CR) article on insect repellents. Of those that CR recommended the oil of lemon eucalyptus-based repellent was the only one on par with DEET products in the form of hours of effectiveness. It is interesting to note that the front of the bottle says it repels mosquitoes for six hours, but tests showed that CSR is still going strong was after eight hours - the equivalent of more than 15% DEET pump design the questions in other reviews, II had no problem with mine. What is just a pump spray bottle, you can not hold it upside down to spray your legs, because it is not repellent straw and nothing comes out. But make sure that the bottle upright when you spray and you'll have no problems. In short, this is a great alternative to DEET, smells a heck of a lot better (if we think of as citronella), and I will continue to use when I walk my dogs. 6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Effective when the pump to work for Wally I walked his dog when I was bitten by mosquitoes as heck to get. I do not like DEET just gave it a try. The good: For me, the repellent works. I had this on the back of hands and after a walk the dog does not bite so bad: it is very difficult to pump spray repellent. It feels like the creators of the bomb designed as a joke. The pump is really not easy. I think.
