Questions & Answers

What is the use of sunscreen with this product?

Your answer to the question is yes. We have found the best product so far.

In what conditions can checked luggage be used to transport 1 gallon picaridin? Can this be broken into several containers, or must this be divided?

It was excellent

Are we near the end of the life of the product?

Throughout the years, I have never noticed an expiration date on any of the bottles that I've tried. There is already a code "815G" on the bottle that I currently own, so I guess it is a

The repellent is effective against everything including deer ticks. Does it work against Lone star ticks too?

Lone Star Tick is a type of northeastern water tick or turkey tick, also known as the lone star No relation to Texas at all. A product of the eastern United States. Some people refer to it as the lone star since it has a mark on its back that looks like a star to them. This tick is the basis for it. This is a skin application product. *br> *br>For ticks, I prefer the Sawyer Product Permethrin. Spray it on your outer garment. The spray should be applied to pants legs or socks. Does not last for more than a week. In the case of sitting on glass or leaves, spray on the seat of your Wear shorts if you are in a country where shorts are not permitted. The possibility of being safe is nonexistent. * * * * *br>I bathe daily with TEA TREE OILshampoo and soap (DESERT ESSENCE, YAWN ON AMAZON) to prevent ticks from sticking to me. For ticks to infect you with Lyme disease, they need to have been on your body for a day or more. I am just stating my personal opinion.

Selected User Reviews For Sawyer Products 20% Picaridin Insect Repellent

I have found a new favorite
5/5

For traveling, it was a bit too bulky for me and I did not like the 1/2 gallon size. However, for a day outdoors, this stuff worked very well for me! There's no other stuff that works like this! Oh, and did I mention there are no awful odors? I have been using it for a few days now, and I have not noticed any scent. It feels a bit oily, but it is more tolerable than suntan lotion. It is impossible not to like Sawyer- it has become my new favorite bug repellent! I wish I had found it years ago.

There has been no study done that did not conclude that this is as effective as DEET, but amenable to biodegradation
5/5

This isn't true. DEET isn't safe for human consumption This is poisonous. There are no harmful chemicals in DEET
It's not greasy on your skin, and it smells nice, while Deet stinks and is greasy. The plastic pen in your hand or the keyboard or your glasses or your camping gear do not become dissolved in this chemical like DEET does. DEET still has a place in the world, but why?.

Defend yourself from bugs with this golden There are no words to describe how good this stuff is
5/5

tried just about every spray out there, healthier ingredients. The Texas woods are full of ticks, gnats, and our state's bloodsucking bandits - we get out into the woods all the time. It's mosquito season. My impression of this stuff is that it is like a hand cream with a faint smell you can't really criticize. In the blinds for the wildlife observatory, I used it and the animals aren't alarmed. It is hard to feel anything like I'm sorry, but damn! No need to reapply every five minutes with this stuff. It really works and it lasts for a long time. I think maybe so if you’re swimming or sweating a lot. The big jug was a bit pricey, but I bought it. It was a good decision. The rest of the stuff I threw away except the stuff I use to spray on my boots and clothes. In the future, I will purchase from you.

All of these biting critters are truly stymied by it
5/5

My experience with deet products has been favorable against mosquitoes but not so much against bugs like In this case, I ordered the 1/2 gallon size of picaridin after reading other reviews and based on my math it recommended. It is too heavy to carry around, but I haven't needed Work keeps the stuff going all day long. There were some deer flies while I was golfing in a warm, humid climate, but they didn't land on me. I didn't get bitten at all. Our area has lots of flies, mosquitoes, and spiders, since it is located on a lakeshore. It used to be that I was bitten after a few hours. Now, I don't get bitten after a few hours. I did not get bitten. As long as something better comes along, I will continue to buy this stuff, but I am not all that excited about it right It's time for me to stop using greasy deet. It doesn't smell and does not have even the slightest tackiness which I cannot detect when I'm moving around.

This is the best repellent for mosquitoes
5/5

It was difficult to find the right words to describe my experiences. Summer was a horrible season for me, because mosquitoes attacked me brutally. Since I have a severe reaction to the bites, it was becoming a serious issue for me. As soon as I started using this, I got no more Despite my disbelief, I remain speechless. Because I love being outdoors and I live near the Chesapeake Bay, where mosquitoes breed abundantly, I've found it to be the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. There is a very faint smell to it when you first apply it, and it disappears almost instantly. I don't mind that it leaves a film on my skin, but it does feel a little bit greasy. One of my most powerful enemies has been saved from me by this It's mosquito season. There's no need to worry about me anymore! There isn't enough that I can say about it to recommend it. I am the only one I know who has bought it after seeing.

The formula is sticky and gritty
3/5

An auto shop lies behind my hovel so there are lots of mosquitoes because there are lots of tires here. I'll wear this for a bbq with shorts since it repels well.

However, the lotion is sticky and takes an extremely long time to dry (hours). Permethrin is a poison that I use to treat long paints for work. That's the crux of the matter. As a result, long pants cling to your legs, preventing the ability to move freely. I have to pull my pant legs up to bend my knees in my truck when I get in my cotton pants, which cling to my thighs. Since the beverage is bulk-sized, you can easily pack small bottles for hikes or for replenishment when you need it. It doesn't work for me though, the thick non drying lotion formula.

I bought this for a trip to Costa Rica
5/5

I went to Costa Rica to do some research and found these things. This kind of thing works like a charm. Make sure you take it with you when you leave home! I like the fragrance and it feels like lotion on the skin with no sticky residue or unpleasant bug repellant feel at all. When we go hiking, I usually end up with chiggers somewhere, but I didn't get any this time! This is what I'm going to use on all our camping trips from now on! The book is worth the purchase. Our kids loved the pump and we got smaller bottles so any leftover product could be pumped in them since it made carrying and refilling easy This also applies if we've been rained on or if we've been However, I do not think I need to do a reprint I applied it only once. Even in rainforest rain it held up! In most cases, I get eaten alive by mosquitoes. The mosquitoes did not bite me!.

I've never been bitten by a mosquito so well! It is expensive
5/5

No, you can't spray it from a can like you would with a can of spray. The cream works better than anything I have ever used, even though I have lived in coastal Texas my entire life.
We apply it to our skin in the morning before we get dressed. Do not forget your tender areas or you will die of a mosquito sting! The event will take place from 8 to 12 This can take between 12 and 24 hours depending on how much sweating you will do.
