I loved Ben's Insect Repellent. I used them in Asia and had absolutely no problems. they were easy to care and lasted. I will use these again/

I always tell people there is only one insect repellent that works: 7728 ''BENS 100'' INSECT REPELLENT SPRAY PUMP. No matter how mosquito infested your location is, Ben's 100 will keep the bugs off. You don't need to bathe in the stuff; just a stripe or dot here and there will do the job. So when I saw Ben's wipes, of course I jumped at it, but when I opened the package I saw that it was Ben's 30%--which I had never heard of--and thought why not try it.

It turns out the 30% works just as well when you're not in a swamp or the middle of the forest at night. If you're in your back yard in the evening, these wipes will give you all the protection you need. The added benefit of Ben's 30% versus Ben's 100 is that the 30% has relatively little scent to it, whereas many complain that Ben's 100 had an unpleasant odor (and trust me, it's even more unpleasant to any bug that would like to bite you, suck your blood, and make you terribly ill.

COMPARISON WITH DEEP WOODS OFF: Since I couldn't find Ben's in my local drug store, I did try Deep Woods OFF Repel 100 1 oz Insect Repellent Pump Spray 100% DEET 402000. Even though the OFF product is 100% Deet, it doesn't 100% work. In fact I wouldn't even say it 30% works in my back yard in Queens much less the deep woods. And it turned out to be as slippery as teflon lube when just a bit of it got on the floor and had to be cleaned up for fear someone was going to slip, fall, and injure themselves on it. I will never try Deep Woods OFF again, but I will use this utterly odorless and non-slippery Ben's 30% for backyard activities and picnics from now on.
