Ben's 30% DEET Mosquito, Tick and Insect Repellent, 3.4 Ounce Pump

I've been working in the yard in Florida at my mom's house the last few weeks. The gnats were killing me. I used Off and Repel. They would last about 5 minutes after working and sweating. I read up on alternatives and found this product. Glad I did. This stuff will last several hours with me working and sweating. Totally impressed!

Great repellant. I went to the ecuadorian rainforest, and this did the trick. I didn't get any bites at all, and it didn't irritate my skin. I read other reviews that it has a very bad smell, but I didn't think it was bad at all. Less stinky than others I have tried. And I didn't feel sticky. Highly recommend!

Saw it recommended in CR and lives up to the claim.

The product itself definitely repels mosquitos. I took it on a trip to the Philippines and did not get bit at all. However the bottle definitely leaks. It did not leak initially but after two uses it leaked a lot. I had to keep it in a ziplock bag and be cautious about the product leaking when traveling. I ended up leaving the product in my hotel due to being afraid it would leak all over my stuff on the way home. Also you have to wash your hands after every application because it leaks out all over your hands when you spray it on yourself. Some other reviewers mentioned a smell but it smells just like any deet insect repellant smells like and it dissipates quickly.

Great product, better than OFF for our mosquitos! I can’t get the size right though.

Works well!

Used this spray on my trip to Cuba and the Bahamas (as Zika Virus is spread there). I was nervous about it keeping the mosquitoes away but it worked great! Sprayed it a few times everywhere including the clothes. I will WARN that you should not spray this on shoes that have paint on them or the ones that maybe plastic with some sort of paint, the paint will come off on your feet as that happened! Also, the smell of this is horrible! The joke was that this spray will keep not only the mosquitoes away but the people around you, lol. My friends who did not use bug spray or used another type did get bit, but I did not get bit at all, which was nice. I am giving it 5 stars though because it did keep the mosquitoes away as was the goal, and the smell did wear off (or went away after a few minutes), so if you are okay with the smell for a few minutes then this will work for you. I would probably not use this as an every day spray (seems like it may have some chemicals - smell is bad) but if you are traveling to places where zika may be present (for a few days), I would highly recommend this spray! Great at keeping mosquitoes and other bugs away! Oh, and I am a bug/mosquito magnet.

I opened the box and the product had leaked all over everything. It is unfortunately too late for me to order another as I leave for a trip tomorrow so I’m stuck with it.
