Product Description

You can use a mosquito repellent to prevent gnats, deer ticks and mosquitoes.

Questions & Answers

Where does the difference between the aerosol and the pump spray lie? Would you say it's a matter of personal taste?

There is no doubt that it is a personal choice. If you were to use it for backpacking or more extreme activities, the aerosol would have a more durable construction.

Do I have the option of spraying ?

Your ability to do so seems reasonable. Although my husband does that, he usually wears older clothing when he is working in the yard. As far as I can tell, no oily or residue-like spots have appeared. I found this spray to be quite effective and did not have the smell that Off had. During the summer, we use it whenever we are outside.

Until today, our expiration date is 5/3/18. When is it due to expire?

By May 7, 2018 or later, it has to be 8/2019 or later.

How effective is it against black flies in maines?

I have not been to Maine yet, but I know it works great in Michigan's upper peninsula. During the black fly season, they have to deal with a lot of problems.

You're doing a great job
5/5

It works the best of any method. In the case of mosquitoes, Picaridin is best. This product worked well for me in South Carolina, where we experienced the biting No See Ums. There is a need for bug spray here almost every day and this one smells better than ones I have tried. The problem with that is that it is expensive so I don't like to make it available for free to people who have forgotten It is probably selfish, but most people don't realize the cost of the expensive product is twice as much as the cheap, ineffective stuff.

It is important to carefully read the directions
3/5

Spraying it on made my skin feel refreshing and kept mosquitoes at bay, but the directions state that it should not be applied near eyes. Apply to irritated skin only. Do not apply under clothing, on cuts, wounds, freshly shaved skin, or if you are sunburned or excessively sunburned. I messed up. After being bitten several dozen times by mosquitoes during the days before receiving the prescription spray, I decided to purchase it. Because I scratched the bites and caused them to bleed, they became infected. After spraying my legs with my favorite insect repellent, I went out into the heat. It makes me uneasy to think of what type of chemicals got into my system. The spray was used right after my wife had a pedicure as well. I feel like her toenails were also compromised (as a matter of fact, she had them painted). The "DIRECTIONS FOR USE" AND "PHYSICAL HAZARDS" are located at the bottom of the can. READ them both carefully. It is possible that this product will damage painted and varnished surfaces, as well as nail polish. Our vacation has ended after only using the spray twice, and we have decided to wear long pants for the remainder of it.

Effective 100% of the time
5/5

The summer months are especially poor because we are continuously swarming with mosquitoes, gnats, and those little "no-see-ums" There are ums everywhere, and it's horrible! My mom used to keep them away by using Avon Skin So Soft bath oil when I was a kid. My first reaction when I saw this product was to grab it right away. I THINK SO! The bug-repelling fabric is 100% effective, no matter how much sweat you have, how humid the weather is, or how hard you're working! The merchandise I've bought is definitely worth the money, and I'll keep getting it.

My entire body was eaten alive by mosquitoes after walking outside for the first time with this product
5/5

I've never spent much time outdoors, so I was literally eaten alive by the mosquitoes. Any mosquito bite I get swells into about a golf ball in size, which leads me to believe I have skeeter syndrome The bump on my skin is the size of a golf ball and is extremely itchy and I am very happy to announce that I have not had an insect bite since using this product, granted I spray liberally. If you decide to rinse it off after using it, make sure you do so because it does leave a sticky residue. I also like the smell - Given that it smells so good, I would not have a problem spraying myself down in the house (in case there are many There is only one downside it is very expensive, but it is.

During the forest camping season, there is no better friend than a dog
5/5

A majority of our camping trips take place in The last time we went to Wisconsin, we visited northern parts of the state. Despite having lived in the woods and along a creek, mosquitoes are no strangers to us. However, we were shocked by the size and number of mosquitoes we found in the Nicolet National Forest. Thanks to this stuff they didn't get in our way. For the past ten years, this has been our only option.

You're doing a great job
5/5

At our family camp, this is the only thing we've found that works for eliminating what look like house flies, but bite us. As far as I know, these things were crafted by Satan himself. It was so reassuring to find out that there was an actual solution to those relentless bastards! does not smell foul to me either, which is nice. I find this spray to be not too oily like other big sprays. My family and I will continue to buy this every year on our camp outings. would like to add that I am not exaggerating when it comes to bugs because I rarely even wear bug spray because I don't get bothered by bugs except those flying around my house in the woods, and nothing works to combat those bugs, not even 100% deet.

The most effective bug spray ever! It has a pleasant scent and the stopping power of a honey badger! It doesn't matter how pleasant the scent is I am amazed at how well this product works! With many other products to prevent the biting insects from ruining your trip, children and those with sensitive noses won't be taken aback by the potent presence of many of the products available
5/5

The excursion was very enjoyable and I have a lot of cans of it You should carry a few in your pocket or purse to help out family and friends when they're caught off guard. If you want, you can just keep them to yourself for a while Getting out of the house in the summer! You did a great job, Avon.

It has a pleasant smell and it works well
5/5

I always use this product. Having an allergy to mosquitoes keeps me sane in the summer months as I live in Florida where mosquitoes can be quite vicious. Thank God, I don't get bitten anymore!.
