USELESS PRODUCT

Misquotes are pretty bad in our area. Great product. Have bought before. And will buy again. Great for on the go. Two pack perfect one for soccer bag and one for the car. Comes how it is listed.

We live on an estuary in Florida and the mosquitos and no-seeums are thick in the mornings and evenings. I apply a deet or picaridin spray on my feet, and a Lemon Eucalyptus repellent on my face, ears, and neck, and spray my long sleeve UPF jacket and long pants with a picaridin spray for clothes. I also wear gloves when working. I chose three different brands based on reviews by Consumer Reports and Consumer Lab. They all seem to work equally well but the Ben's version was harder for me to spay with arthritis.

This is great stuff! Lanscape in heavily wooded areas and nothing comes near you with this on your boots. Keep a can in every car.

Our major issues, living by a lake and marsh are no-seeums, mosquitoes, ticks, and deer flies. I had only bought the wipes before and they worked great. I bought these sprays and they don't work as well. They seem to work on mosquitoes, okay/iffy on no-seeums, and definitely don't work on deer flies. Since I had kids, I'm a magnet for all these bugs and have severe reactions to deer fly bites. The wipes were the best- far and above anything I found in the stores (even with higher amounts of DEET). With these sprays...I've sprayed myself with this to the point my exposed limbs are wet, even spray my clothes until damp and I'm still getting bitten by deer flies. One other problem is the top of the sprayer leaks when you spray and you wind up with whatever finger or thumb you use to spray covered in the chemicals. It's really messy. At least I'm not getting bit by mosquitoes, but the spray doesn't seem to be as effective as the wipes. And, as I wrote, it's messy so hard to take along on outings... bring a plastic bag to store and bring wipes for your hands. *update August 2023 I bought 2 more cans of spray and sat outside for a bit. I have been bitten by mosquitoes numerous times even though I sprayed myself enough that my legs and clothing are completely wet with the contents. As I'm typing this I'm outside being inundated with mosquitoes. I'm going back to a much higher DEET product. *Update June 2024... tried this again just to make sure it wasn't a bad batch...because the wipes were so good...and it still doesn't work. I've had to coat myself with this spray, spray the chair while sitting outside and still getting bitten and accosted by mosquitoes, biting flies, and no-seeums. All pests seem completely immune, not deterred at all. I'm absolutely done with this product.

The product itself is great, but the spray bottles are almost unusable... Every time someone in the house goes to use it, we take bets on whether we'll be able to actually get any product out of the bottle! This is a plea to Ben to please please find a new way to package this so we can actually use it!
