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

This review is from: Off! Deep Woods Insect Repellent V, 25% DEET 6 oz (Health and Beauty)

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. Off and Cutter also have unscented versions of their spray.

The Cutter brand was 23.0% in 2009, but in 2010 it changed its ingredients to N N-diethylm-toluamid at 9.5%. 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good stuff, September 1, 2008

I'd rather fend off the bugs than come down with West Nile virus.

We used this product on a recent camping trip and found it to be safe and effective.

With Off you can camp out, without a net encasing your entire camp site, and without mosquito netting hats.

Go camping, and put on some Off. Enjoy the woods and the open air.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's stinky and sticky, but does the job..., September 5, 2005

Very good at keeping mosquitos away, which is obviously the purpose, so on that account a very satisfactory result. The price to pay, though, is that it has a very strong insecticide smell that will permeate your clothing, bed, etc. Finally, there's the stickiness. Once on your skin, it's impossible not to feel it. I guess it can be compared to sunblock, not the ideal physical sensation, but necessary.
