1.0 out of 5 stars Cutter What's Going On?, June 4, 2010

By 

Dorcas (Orlando, FL) - See all my reviews

I live in rural Florida near a Lake, and I have a spring fed pond in my front yard. Unfortunately, these beautiful sights can be a breeding ground for insects of all sorts. Off and Cutter were my go to sprays for repelling mosquitoes and other bugs. However, in 2009 I found myself using seven times more spray--I counted the cans.

Deet has been identified as the key ingredient that repels biting bugs. Unfortunately, both Off and Cutter have significantly reduced the percent of Deet in their product, and it is more difficult to find the economical 11 oz can which was a 16 oz. can. Both Off and Cutter have also raised their prices on these products. I have old cans in my barn which show 65%, 50%, 35%, and 43.3%. The new Off spray was 15% in 2009, and is now 14.25% in 2010. It is to be noted that Deep Woods Off is at 25%, and a 6 oz can will cost you approximately $6.00 plus tax.

The Cutter brand was 23.0% in 2009, but in 2010 it changed its ingredients to N N-diethylm-toluamid at 9.5%, but you can find some Cutter cans with Deet if you search. The Cutter brand is $8.00 plus tax for a 6 oz. can.

I now use Repel Sportsmen Max made by WPC Brand in MO, which contains 40% Deet at $3.50 for a 9 oz. can. It repels bugs and it's a great deal. I purchase Repel at my local Big Lots stores.

Repels mosquitos well.

The best part is that there is a lot less smell than other products I have tried. It also does not feel as oily on the skin.

No damage to clothing as far as I can tell.

I ordered this Cutter spray on July 3rd, and it's now Sept 19th & I STILL haven't received it. I'd suggest not wasting your time, try another vendor or buy in a store!
