4.0 out of 5 stars Works naturally, but not as long as advertised, June 16, 2010

I'd say that this spray works around the lower limit of the advertised claim (4-8 hours, at least for me). I was glad to find something natural, as this product is essentially all plant oils. For those interested, the ingredients are:
(active) soybean oil, geranium oil, castor oil, cedarwood oil, citronella oil, peppermint oil, lemongrass oil, (inactive) purified water, coconut oil, glycerin, lecithin, baking soda, citric acid, benzoic acid, wintergreen oil.

Most consumer products will not describe inert ingredients, so I'm especially thankful for the detailed analysis. That way I can be confident it is safe for use.

Overall, a good deal. Just remember to reapply about every four hours or so.

This review is from: Quantum Buzzaway, Extreme Spray, 4-Ounce (Health and Beauty)

I used this product on a recent camping trip along the Appalachian trail. I can see how some people won't like the smell, it's rather strong. I liked it though. It's kind of like a combination of cedar and sandlewood. Might be a little strong to wear if you're going to be indoors, but for a dirty stinky camping trip it's perfectly fine.

Did it work? Oh yeah! I applied it to myself and my clothing and proceeded into the bush. There were TONS of ticks there. I was finding them crawling on my pack and my tent every few minutes. We were brushing them off of each other's gear all day. In the end, I had not a single mosquito bite or tick. It was only 1 camping trip but I'd say it worked as well as DEET considering how bug-infested the place was. I'll definitely be using this again.

I purchased this spray after buying another brand of deet-free spray last summer. While the other brand worked fine, the smell was just atrocious and I couldn't stand smelling myself after a few minutes. This particular spray does have a stronger smell, but it seemed to fade (the smell, not it's potency) pretty quickly. The first time I used Buzz Away was at our local reservoir where I am normally ate alive by mosquito's. We were outside for about 2 hours on that visit, and I came home bite-free. This was a welcomed relief as the mosquito's tend to think that I'm their personal bite toy.

If you're concerned about putting deet on your body (as we all should be), I think this is definitely a great product to try. Keep in mind that the product won't last all day on your body (it will work for about 3-4 hours without reapplication), but I'm perfectly happy to reapply the product if I'm outside all day to avoid putting any deet product on my skin.
