This review is from: Repel 33801 6.5 oz Sportsmen Max Formula Insect Repellent Aerosol 40% DEET (Lawn & Patio)

Insects attack me as soon as I open the back slider so I need to use plenty of insect repellent for the ticks, flies, and mosquitoes. The Repel 40% works pretty well though I get the occasional bite even after using it. It's been pretty good at keeping the ticks off of me if I'm well sprayed all over. Without repellent I'm a mass of bites all over my arms and my hairless head.

Sportsman Max doesn't have a bad aroma, though it's not one I'd seek out. As far as the spraying mechanism goes, I have had no problems with it.

NOTE I sprayed a generous amount of Repel on my arms and sat at a wooden table for a bit getting the repellent on the wood finish. It seems to have messed up the finish where my arms had rested on the table and created an unexected project for me.

Like another reviewer for this I had trouble with the spray dispenser malfunctioning but I had to hold it completely upright which was totally impractical yet I managed to empty a whole can. As far as performance it did work for ticks, I never got any on me. I used it primarily on my pants and shirt. Once when I went out with untreated pants I got ticks. There are very few mosquitoes in this area so I wouldn't know how well this works on them. I have found out that neither this product or Off or Cutter helped to keep away a certain gnat-like bug which flies around your eyes and tries to get into your ears. I rubbed this on the ears to keep them away but it's useless.

Although the above picture shows both the aerosol and the lotion, this is only the aerosol. The lotion is sold separately.
