My wife purchased a bottle of Ben's Tick spray at a garage sale several years ago. We have a cabin on the Snake River in Minnesota near the Wisconsin border. This is a high risk area for Lyme's disease and the product she purchased at the garage sale worked better than anything else she tried. When it ran out she was afraid we wouldn't be able to get any more of it, or if the company was still in business. I searched the internet and found that the company was still there and producing a wide variety of products. I purchased two bottles of Ben's 30 DEET Tick & Insect repellent and gave them to my wife she was back to the cabin a week later and indicated that this newer looking product worked as well as the old.

I have used Ben's 30% DEET repellent during 7 trips to Africa, including one stay in a bush camp for 6 months. It's the best! I love that it's not oily or sticky and is water based. BTW, research (and my experience) has shown that you need a concentration of 30% DEET for maximum effectiveness -- less is not effective and more doesn't give additional protection, so forget the 100% stuff.

Traveled to rain forest in Belize and the product worked excellent. It has a strong smell but that will dissipate as it dries and its way better than getting bit. Be careful not to spill or spray on certain surfaces, the stuff is strong and can cause damage. Its not just this product but any of them with a high level of deet in it.

it has a high level of DEET, which is good if you're going to places like Africa or S. America. but, it smells fairly strong - it's not something you'd want to wear on a date!

I am going to Belize (the southern part, down in the jungle part) for the second time. This stuff is amazing! It keeps me bug-free and doesn't leave a sticky residue or smell.

I was at an audio workshop inside the Grand Teton National Park at the Murie Center. On my first night I tried to avoid using Ben's 30 DEET but 100 mosquito bites later changed my mind; by morning I was a believer and prophet to my fellow recordists. When you just can't go natural in nature - get Ben's 30 DEET!

i just used this on a three day hiking trip in the Smoky Mountains. The bugs stayed off me the whole time. Excellent!

The picture on the website showed Bens 100, which was what I wanted - so I ordered it. What arrived was Bens 30 - clearly and obviously not what was advertised. Although Cosmetic Solutions refunded, I have had to pay the return mail costs. As far as I can see, they have not changed the page on the site as yet.

Would never use them again
