The Good:
- Effective (was out at dusk and didn’t get bit)
- 2 pack is a good value
- Smells like lemon and not chemically
- Spray applicator works well and provides easy application
The Bad:
- Strong lemon smell when first applied but dissipates over time
The Bottom Line:
We went to a birthday party at dusk and there were definitely mosquitos out. We used this DEET free mosquito repellent and we didn’t get bit. It has an easy spray applicator and we sprayed ourselves a lot. I would say it was effective for the 3 hours we were at the park. I think everyone at the party ended up spraying themselves and their kids with it. The smell is definitely a strong lemon smell which I like but might not be for everyone. Overall, we’ll be keeping bottles of this in all of our bags to spray on us when we’re out!

Repellent Active Ingredients
Although using any repellent is most important, choosing the right active ingredient for your individual needs can make repelling bugs a painless process. Consider the length of time you’ll be outside
and the type of activity you’re planning.
- Deet has been used in the U.S. for more than 50 years and continues to be an effective option for consumers. DEET-based products are recommended for those who plan to spend longer periods of time outdoors in more heavily infested conditions.
- Picaridin (pronounced “pick-CARE-a-den”) became available in the U.S. in 2005. Clean, odorless and effective, this active ingredient provides the long-lasting, effective protection consumers have come to expect from DEET in a formula with a light, clean feel.
- Oil of lemon eucalyptus is the only plant-based active ingredient recommended by the CDC. Derived from oil obtained from the leaves of the Eucalyptus citriodora tree, this active ingredient repels mosquitoes and deer ticks for up to six hours.
Zika virus outbreaks have been detected in Africa and southeast Asia for decades – but only in recent years have scientists detected transmission elsewhere. The virus causes mild, flu-like symptoms – like low-grade fever, rash, fatigue and muscle pain – that last about a week, but can cause a birth defect called microcephaly and other severe fetal brain defects.
West Nile virus is the most commonly reported mosquito-borne disease in the United States. Although only one in five people who contract the virus develop symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches or vomiting, the virus can cause serious neurological illnesses that can be fatal, such as encephalitis or meningitis.
Dengue fever is primarily thought to be a tropical disease, but occasional cases have been detected in southern states, including Texas and Florida, in recent years. Symptoms include high fever, severe headache behind the eyes, rash and muscle pain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the expiration date? I can’t find it listed on the container.
A: When stored properly and not exposed to extreme temperatures, Repel products will last for several years. If you notice any change in odor or appearance or damage to the packaging, replace the repellent with a new product.
Q: Is DEET safe to use on children?
A: Formulas with 30 percent concentrations or lower can be used on children ages 2 months or older.
Q: Will DEET damage my clothing or gear?
A: DEET will not damage nylon, cotton or wool. It may damage some synthetic fabrics, plastics, watch crystals, leather and painted or varnished surfaces. Wash treated clothing before wearing it again.

Not safe! Gave me a severe allergic reaction
By Marie82 on June 7, 2019
Bought this product a while back trusting the high reviews. Did not get the chance to use until this last week while on vacation in Hawaii. Lathered all over my arms and legs before we went out on our first day. First of all the spray actually squirts. Had to squirt on my hand to spread on my arms and legs. A couple hours later I broke out with the worst hives on the palms of my hands which spread throughout the rest of my hands/fingers, arms, legs, thighs, and abdomen. The hives were so itchy and eventually began to blister. Consulted a doctor and was diagnosed with Dyshidrosis Eczema which is a form of an allergic reaction to a chemical. The rash will last 2-4 weeks with the steroid creams they gave me that I had to pay out of pocket for since I’m not from Hawaii. Not to mention how miserable I was the remainder of our trip. Read the fine print people! If you have sensitive skin this is not for you! They clearly indicate that it can cause allergic reaction in some cases. Unfortunately I was one of them. Also, it didn’t repel the mosquitoes because at the end of that night despite my horrendously itchy rash I had a handful of mosquito bites on my legs as well. So save your money and buy something else!
