Questions & Answers
A spray is being used here. Neither the container nor the box is pressurized. Using the product is a breeze. In order to give you protection, very little bug juice is needed. My preferred method is to spray a little bit of repellent in the palm of my hand and rub my hands together so that they are coated. After that, I use my repellent-coated hands to rub the areas I wish to protect. In the afternoon, depending on how much I sweat, I may do this a couple of times. Keep it away from your nose or eyes. These areas do become irritated by this.
The use of repellents that are up to 30% DEET is sufficiently safe for children older than two In spite of longer lasting protection, more than 30% DEET does little to enhance protection. apply DEET with 30% concentration every two hours and reapply the product every two
There's no smell to be found, thank goodness.
Selected User Reviews For Repel 100 Insect Repellent, Pump Spray, 1-Ounce
To prevent mosquito bites when you are traveling abroad, you should probably pick up a bottle of Skeetolene or Soffal Formula Anti Insect Mosquito Repellent Lotion from a local pharmacy. The Soffal packets in my resort suddenly stopped the sandflies and mosquitoes in their tracks. I used the remainder of the deet in spraying under the beach mats before laying them down to keep the area generally knat-free.
went hiking in the high country of Idaho and while the majority of mosquitos and bugs stayed away, I still got bitten a good couple of When used in conjunction with a Thermacell, worked well. By clicking the Helpful button below this review, you can let me know if this review was helpful for you.
In spite of that, I enjoy the outdoors, even as a mosquito hater. My gear that will not get wet needs to be permethrin coated. During the day, when the sun is out and the wind is a bit brisk, you might not need much more than 30% DEET when I am in the wilderness. Even so, if it's still and after a few rains, and you're in the wilderness alone with an army of blood sucking insects, you'll still need DEET that's (near) 100% effective. Avoid using it directly on your skin (apply to your hat, your cuffs, etc. ) and avoid putting it on plastics (watch out for your watch band, sunglasses, etc. ) as it will eat them a little, and you will be happier. There are also health effects related to mosquito-borne illnesses which need to be taken into account by those who are concerned about DEET's health effects. A sensible health decision would be to use mosquito repellent that contains concentrated DEET in mosquito-heavy areas. You're going to have a terrible time if you go into the boundary waters in the fall without DEET and with your "natural" bug spray. I would recommend 100% of the pump bottle, as it is small and easy to pack, yet large enough to last a long trip for two with ease for about a week.
Using a paper towel and rubbing for a few minutes, I was able to get them.
I liked the stuff you wrote It works like a charm! You feel as though your dream of having a family may never come true, and as if everything around you will end in death. It is totally worth it however. The last thing you want is to open your bag to find that stuff has leaked all over it. You can potentially taste its way to the center of the earth for as far as it goes, as whatever plastic bag you put over it will dissolve. In the past, I have triple bagged my luggage and it has worked out fine. Check to make sure the cap is well taped and that it cannot move around in your luggage and cause it to pull It may be worth following up on an expert- Stainless steel with a liner.
The mosquitoes don't joke when they say I attract them - It probably took both my boyfriend and me to apply the bug spray more than once every day, and we used the remaining part of the bottle. * Be sure that the area is well ventilated before spraying this on. Suffocating is the best way to describe it. In addition, the spray does not stick to your clothes and sinks in wonderfully. Bug spray is usually one of my biggest pet peeves, but Repel 100 has been a lifesaver. You should definitely try this repellent if you're in need of one!.
After eating through the ziploc bag in my luggage and eating through the compartment in my luggage, this product ate through the plastic container in my bag! My skin burned so badly when I put it on that I had to scrub it from my arms before I got If it is capable of eating through plastic, it is not suitable for use on or near the skin. I strongly advise you to avoid buying this product. You would be at risk for serious health problems.
Now that I have used it for about six hours, I really like it. Everything seems to be going well so far. I noticed that the nozzle popped off as soon as I got the can out of the cardboard package. I had to cut the top of the bottle off with a butcher knife and pour the stuff into an empty medicine bottle because it wouldn't go back on. Due to my arthritis and stroke-related weakness, that wasn't an easy task. That means I won't be buying it against it in the future. There are a lot of otherwise good products being sold in cans that have shoddy It's possible to use the stuff in various ways. I noticed it works for the first few hours, but then it does not work after that.
