One of the best (natural) bug repellents I've used

One of the best (natural) bug repellents I've used. It's smells like vanilla and citrus. I'm one of the lucky ones that mosquitos flock to when in out side and I'm pretty miserable during he summer months. With this stuff I love sitting outside now- not only am I bite free but I smell lovely too.

I used this repellent on a 4 day Appalachian Trail hike in New England in June. One of the A.T. shelters in that area is located right next to a swamp. I was being eaten alive until I applied this repellent, and the cloud of bugs around me seemed to disappear. I still had a few annoying gnats around and a mosquito would occasionally land on my arm, but it would immediately take off again without biting. This really saved the trip and allowed me to enjoy myself so much more than I would have. It does not have an offensive odor, and lasts around 3-4 hours while hiking if you sweat a lot (longer if not sweating profusely). Much more pleasant to use than anything with deet in it, and doesn't eat through the rain proof coating on some of your gear. I've made the switch and only carry this repellent now, even while backpacking in environments that are thick with bugs.

This is my all time favorite DEET free bug spray. I get targeted by mosquitoes really badly, and this is the only thing the keeps them away for 1-2 hours (aside from using OFF with tons of DEET).
Herbal Armor works significantly better than any of the other natural ones I have tried. 1-2 hours of mosquito free time is enough for me to ride my horse, and then I can reapply if necessary.

I used this for two years in a dengue and Zika country and it worked great and smells fantastic. Easy to rub on young children as well and does not irritate skin. It sprays easily and can easily be rubbed on if you have young children. Highly recommend this. I can't tell you the number of people who thought I was wearing perfume when I would proudly say, no, it's the bug spray! Also, no harmful chemicals but it works!! All of us were well protected from bites when we had this on. I never had to use DEET sprays with this on hand! Try it, you won't be disappointed.

I love this stuff.

I have tried many different kinds of products from natural remedies to manmade chemicals. I have friends who swear by citronella-based products, but they have not worked for me. I have found that DEET is extremely effective. I haven't tried picaridin permethrin, but I haven't needed to check them out at this point.

I have found that a concentration of DEET of at least 30 percent works great. Unfortunately, more family friendly products do not generally contain more than 15 percent DEET and this is not enough in y experience. While health concerns exist about DEET's effects on the body, I'd prefer to take that risk considering the prevalence of West Nile virus now in the New York area and quality of life concerns..

I was introduced to Buggins from a family member. This particular spray does a great job on your skin and keeps the gnats and flies from biting me. IT DOES NOT HELP WITH MOSQUITOES! There is another product in this line specifically for mosquitoes. I love the essential oils! It's also all natural, and definitely keeps the little biters away. Well worth the money, in my opinion!

I finally had a chance to use this the last two nights sitting in friends backyard patios...I should be all bitten up but I don't have a bite. Love this. The smell is much more pleasant than traditional bug spray. We kinda like the smell actually.

This stuff is not cheap but I have found it works the best of anything I have tried to ward off the Asian Beetles! There have been years when these pests were crawling all over our home and leaving their streaks on the walls, etc. The residual effect of Bugslayer is amazing. Since I started using it (several years back), I have never sprayed more than twice around doors and windows, and now we hardly have any bugs enter the home. But there are literally millions of dead ones you can see that fall next to the house where you can see--I do wonder how many there must be in the yard that remain invisible. Check out the picture attached of what our back door looked like, and this was just the first time before cleaning up!

This is an excellent alternative natural bug protection as a person doesn't have to apply chemicals on their skin. I bought this Mosquito Repellent Bracelet with my daughter in mind. She could just walk outside or come home from the lake with several bug bites on her legs. It was difficult to keep bug spray on her while she was in and out of the water. The Bracelet can be put on and off at anytime and bc its waterproof i don't have to reapply bug spray throughout the day or for 5 days. This is how long the inserts last.  Since i purchased the Mosquito Repellent Bracelet she hasn't had nearly as many bug bites. Maybe one or two the last time we went to the lake.
The bracelet is of sturdy construction and is very comfortable to wear. She even thinks its cool to wear. Even if you don't wear the bracelet it can be attached to backpacks or belt loops.  The inserts are all natural and have a extremely strong citronella scent but not noticeable when outdoors. The inserts are not slimy nor sticky. I would recommend buying the Mosquito Repellent Bracelet.

Although it is nice to have something to protect me from all kinds of bugs in the Spring and Summer, it is still Winter here and I have a bug struggle that has been driving me crazy.  I read that Repel was good against fleas and I knew I had to try it right away.

I have been having trouble with fleas this winter more than any other time.  They love to bite my ankles while I work on my computer and nothing I have tried has made them go away for long.  Until we can open up our house and do some work to get them out of the house, I had to find a way to get them to stop biting me.

I took the can outside, and sprayed one foot only, leaving the other without any spray.

WHAT IS THIS SPRAY LIKE?
-Recommended for outside use
-Great locking cap to keep the nozzle from clogging
-Goes on somewhat wet and takes a couple of minutes to completely dry
-Has texture that reminds me of the finish on apples in the grocery store- shiny a tiny bit of slip, but still dry
-Subdued odor which fades over time
-Has a cool menthol feeling at first on my skin the first half hour or so of application

HOW WELL DOES THIS SPRAY WORK?
I have to say that the fleas were trying to jump on my unsprayed foot, but my sprayed foot and leg they stayed away from.  I later sprayed my other leg and they did not bother me at all the rest of the day.  This is fantastic for me, as nothing has been working and I really needed some help.

THE BOTTOM LINE
When spraying, do so outside lightly on the skin or clothing surface and although a bit cooling on bare skin at first, it dries to a finish with a little shine but dry.  I have found it to be very effective against fleas without bothersome smell.  I have a highly sensitive nose to odors and this did not bother me at all.  I plan to use it until we can get the flea problem eradicated.  I look forward to black fly season to use it then as well. The can design is great.  Five stars from me!

I have an awful reaction to mosquitos and no product has protected my clothing from them like this product! I can not recommend enough. It lasts a really long time, and while Ive purchased multiple bottles so I was never without it, Ive only had to open one! Not only does it repel the mosquitos - Ive never gotten a bite while having it on my clothing, and with all other kinds I had tried I ALWAYS got bites even when loaded up with bug spray - but it is scentless! I had started to dread summer as I couldn't enjoy the outdoors and if I tried to, Id have to reek of mosquito spray, and with this stuff I can wear it anywhere and not have anyone notice, including myself! Ive actually been able to go camping now, which is something that was not an option before finding this spray! I use it with the Sawyer insect repellent and together they work like a charm. My whole extended family now uses it because they were so impressed on a family trip.

A colleague and I planned a large retirement party for ourselves, inviting family, friends, and many teachers and administrators from our school.  Because it was to be outside under tents, we were worried about insects - especially flies invading and taking over the food.  We purchased All Natural Insect Repellelnt-Garl-Or3 Yard and Garden Spray and sprayed it according to the directions over the entire yard earlier in the day of the party.  I am pleased to report there were no insects that crashed the party. A great time was enjoyed by all - except the bugs!!

Love this bug spray. It has a pleasant scent to it, and in my experience it works very well. My wife and I went to Banff national park, and there were occasions when we were surrounded by mosquitoes, but not being bitten since we were covered in this Herbal Armor bug spray. I think this works as well as any bug spray I've used, not just comparing to other natural products.

Used this camping where there were biting flies, mosquitoes, ticks, and chiggers. The worst that happened was flying bugs might attempt to land, but are immediately repelled. Really works well, easy to apply, and no awful odor.

The best repellent is the one you'll actually use.  This stuff doesn't feel as oily as Deet.  It doesn't smell as awful as Deet. (And trust me, those "natural" Lemon or Eucalyptus based sprays smell even worse!)  After spraying it dries fairly quickly and doesn't stain rayon or nylon clothing like Deet.  I just got back from a Belize vacation and used it exclusively.  And I came home with no bites!  I've been to Belize many times using other products and always had bites upon returning.  I will rely on  Natrapel from now on.  It's the best I've found.

I have been using this for a few weeks now and it has worked very well! I do have to respray every couple hours to ensure its effectiveness, but the mosquitos start to leave me along immediately which is lovely. Knowing the product is organic is a relief since I can respray every weekend when I am out and about without worrying about chemicals.

This is one of the best anti-bug sprays I have used. It was highly recommended by a friend and he was right. I also received it in time as promise and I most definitely will purchase more from their seller.
