I have tried every "natural" repellant on the market and this is easily the best if have used. I have tried products with a vanilla base, pepermint base, and catnip base. Most of these went away quickly because they simply didn't work. Most of the natural brands nowadays are combinations of citronella and lemon grass and they are fairly common. Burt's Bees, NOW brand and others come to mind. These actually work pretty good for mosquitoes in Amarillo TX area, however they aren't very effective against aggressive biting flies around here.This product works better than others on mosquitoes(I guess we do not have the Asian Tiger) and WAY better against flies. It doesn't smell great but neither does citronella or DEET for that matter. If they smelled really good, they would probably attract bugs and would be called perfume. A word of caution: Most folks with any knowledge at all have become aware that DEET is harmful, especial for young kids whose brains are still developing. Lots of these same folks never think about the carrier chemicals used in name brand "natural" repellants. I have one from WallyWorld that has Di-n-propyl isocinchomeronate and N-Octyl bichloheptene dicarboximide for carrier chemicals. It also has "inert ingredients" that aren't named. Scientists are starting to take a skeptical look at these carrier chemicals since they are not well studied, especially in combination with the myriad of active ingredients with which they are frequently combined. I prefer not to slather them over my own body and absolutely WILL NOT use them on my grand kids! Bite Blocker uses only food-grade plant-based ingredients including soybean oil and geranium oil and is rated "safest for kids" by ConsumerSearch(consumersearch.com). I prefer the lotion. It works good for us.

We have been plagued all summer with the tiniest, most vicious little mosquitoes I've ever seen. I couldn't leave the house without being eaten up; I even got bites on my eyelids! I ordered this product and the spray version together because I was desperate for something that is effective and DEET-free.

Both really worked to keep mosquitos and black flies away. The spray is a little easier to apply but the lotion is longer lasting. Both also work to nicely moisturize the skin; the spray has a light oil-based consistency. The key ingredients, including geranium oil, give the lotion a nice, almost spicy, herbal aroma. I used the lotion on all exposed areas - even my face; of the two, the lotion is my preference.

I found Bite Blocker to be as effective as the more well-known, chemical-laden brands with none of the potential side effects. I highly recommend it.

I am an avid fisherman and live in the woods on a mountain. I have tried other non-deet products but this lotion is the only one that seems to work well. I noticed that the main ingredient is Geranium oil 5%, which is a higher concentration than other natural non-deet repellents. All I can say is when I go fishing in the evening or early morning or wading through swamps I maybe get one bite even though I am surrounded by mosquitoes. I am impressed enough to order more. I will say that I have felt some skin irritation on application to my face, so the stuff is strong, try it out on a small area first is the best advice I guess.
