Repel 100 Mosquito & Insect Repellent 4 Oz, 98% DEET | Repels Mosquitoes, Ticks, Gnats, Biting Flies, Chiggers & Fleas, Lasts Up To 10 Hours, Compact Bug Spray For Outdoor Travel

This is the real-deal, no-B.S., gets the mosquitos off of you, DEET formula that is what I use when it's time to get the mosquitos, gnats, no-see-ums, and sand flies/biting midges away from you. For many years now I have been using a popular plant-based lemon-eucalyptus insect repellent that is DEET-free, due to wanting a less-toxic, more "natural" alternative, to DEET-based sprays. My experience with the lemon-eucalyptus formula is that it can be effective (and is great smelling), but only for a few minutes, and I need to reapply the lemon- eucalyptus compound constantly, every ten or maybe even five minutes, for it to stay effective against the flying pests that are out there. In 2023 I wound up doing several months of summer work in a remote mountainous area in the western United States. Though usually a dry climate, that was a banger moisture year and the flying insects were atrocious. I initially began using my preferred lemon-eucalyptus oil but found it almost completely ineffective due to the sheer volume of flying pests and insects I was getting swarmed and bitten by, each night at camp. That summer I switched back to DEET and went with the Repel 100. The situation was so serious, I was not going to mess around with partial blends or a dilute DEET. I wanted 100% strength/power/efficacy. It had been a few years since I had used Repel and Repel DEET-containing products but upon picking some of this up and applying it, the scent and slightly oily texture immediately brought me back to childhood memories of campfires, camping, ball games, and being out in cool summer evenings slathered in Repel's DEET spray, munching on marshmallows in plumes of campfire smoke. Fast forward back to 2023 up there in the mosquito-infested mountains of the rural west, and this Repel DEET-based spray worked when the lemon-eucalyptus oil would not. Once applied, the clouds of some of the largest mosquitos I had ever seen, stayed away from me. Since that summer, I have been back on the DEET. I still use the lemon-eucalyptus but I keep this Repel 100 DEET formula on hand just incase I decide to head up to the mountains or out on a camping trip that's going to take me to a place where there might be a heavier flying insect load that I am generally exposed to at home. Please note that DEET is highly effective as a tick repellent. With the dramatic increase in tick-borne diseases in North America over the past two decades, Repel 100 is a good idea and effective at keeping ticks off of you. I use Permethrin on my clothes but Permethrin cannot be applied directly to the skin so that's where the DEET comes in. Lemon-eucalyptus oil also can serve as a tick repellent but as I've noted above, my experience indicates that lemon-eucalyptus compounds just don't have the "oomph" necessary to keep insects away and off of you with the intensity and duration that DEET does. Stay safe out there, everybody.

Excellent protection from mosquitos. It is a little oily which stays on the skin well. The thing I like the most is that it is not as strong as Deep Woods Off.

Works great. Keeps mosquitoes from body parts that you spray. Only bad thing is that it smells like gasoline. Be careful not to inhale it.

Have tried many repellants over the years camping and this one absolutely keeps the insects away. They don't even land on your skin. The only down side is that it feels really oily on skin and the spray pump produces kind of a spritz rather than a spray -- and the stuff needs to be rubbed around to get an even application. Compared to OFF which has been my go-to bug spray in the past, this Repel brand does a better job and seems to last all day. Definitely recommend.

There is a reason all the other insect repellents say compared to Deet. As part of my permethrin, picaridin and deet trio it is integral to reducing my daily vulnerability. I live in the wayback mountains and the tiny ticks and chiggers are far worse than the bears, coyotes, mountain lions, bobcats, rattlesnakes, copperheads and cotton mouth water moccasins. Deet works! I won’t even reduce my rating because of the leaking. Every deet spray package seems to leak. Repel is no exception. Their quality and potency is high. I have better small spray containers I can use. It’s the effectiveness of the deet that matters.

I bought this for a recent Alaska trip and by golly do those suckers swarm you. I made the mistake my first night in interior AK by not wearing any and rest assure, I did NOT make the same mistake twice. Note, it didn’t stop them from swarming and landing on me, but it DID stop them from biting me. Also please keep in mind that this spray will damage vinyl on clothing. :( A bit bummed my boyfriend’s hoodie got ruined *but* I would rather that than be eaten alive by AK’s state bird. I will 100% recommend this spray, but be mindful of clothing choices.

It's very oily. Mosquitoes are curious and will fly around you, but no bites. Can't spray on clothes.

Worked like a charm! I worked 10-hour days in a heatwave during a summer festival and didn't have a single bite on me after. It looked greasy at first, but not after rubbing it in. I probably only reapplied once during the day and am bite-free!
