Best "natural" product,
By JoBob (Amarillo TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bite Blocker Organic, "Deet Free" Insect Repellent 6.7 oz (200 ml) (Health and Beauty)
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, lemon grass and eucalyptus 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 that bad. Citronella and DEET smell funny for that matter. If these products 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; a little more trouble to put on, less waste and more effective. Use the spray for touch ups. It works good for us.

Best non-deet repellent I've tried,

This review is from: Bite Blocker Organic, "Deet Free" Insect Repellent 6.7 oz (200 ml) (Health and Beauty)
I've never been comfortable using deet on my now 4 year old, and I've pretty much tried every alternative on the market. This one works best by far. The only thing I've found is that it must be reapplied often to work well. My backyard is heavily populated with mosquitos, and this one even repels asian tigers if applied liberally and once every hour or so. This is the one to use if you don't like using deet!

Great all-natural bug repellent,
By Firerose (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bite Blocker Organic, "Deet Free" Insect Repellent 6.7 oz (200 ml) (Health and Beauty)
I am a genuine mosquito magnet, once having counted 76 bites from taking just a single half-hour venture outside after a rainstorm while on vacation in Mexico. Thus, while on a return trip to Mexico for my destination wedding this time I was not willing to take any chances! In looking for a pleasant-smelling, non-toxic and all-natural alternative to the standard DEET bug repellents, I found the perfect product in Bite Blocker. It works wonders!!! For a week straight I sprayed Bite Blocker all over body and face before heading out and no mosquitoes bit me at all. I even introduced the product to friends and family and everyone loved how great it smelled and how non-sticky it was. I've never tried this product in a deep woods environment nor around the Asian Tiger mosquito (as far as I know) but can vouch that it works great even for a mosquito magnet like myself in the jungles of Mexico. Will be bringing Bite Blocker with me to St. Maarten this summer and use it on the whole family including our toddler son. =)
