Sawyer Products SP5432 Picaridin Insect Repellent Spray, 20%, Pump, 3-Ounce, (Pack of 2) (Packaging may vary)

I took this with me to Sri Lanka and there were bugs around me almost constantly, I didn’t have one single bite in 5 days of living in extreme natural conditions around tea plants. I even found a honey bee in my room that didn’t bite me because I always had the repellent sprayed on me at all times. The spray is oil based however it absorbs in the skin pretty quickly - plus for those who have dry skin. Additionally, I couldn’t smell it on me although I was wearing it at all times. 100% recommended

I went for a trek in the Malaysian jungle and I used the product both on my skin and on clothes: very effective and no mosquitos or other insects punctures, nor any oily or sticky sensation during the trek.

Really effective and efficient not even one bite in the whole trip.

Compared to other repellents the odour is good especially for kids, no bites while we used it.

For the price that I paid I was expecting some results... but doesn't work.

Very effective in warding off insects, including sand flies, more effectively than DEET

I gave it low stars for traveling because the 1/2 gallon bottle is huge and not really suitable for traveling with, that being said for a day outside this stuff works amazing! I used this and the Sawyer permethrin clothes treatment together(this for my skin, the other just on my clothes) I went outside and the ticks were getting all lethargic from the clothes treatment and the mosquitos didn't want to touch my skin, they kept landing for a split second and taking right back off without biting, no swatting necessary! I went outside on one occasion where I literally had swarms of mosquitos from the moment I opened the car door, I spent more than 3 hours outdoors, only had one bite, I am normally swarmed by mosquitos, some people are naturally repellent to mosquitos, I am not one of those people, quite the opposite actually, I attract them more than anyone around me normally and with this stuff on I was able to keep them away! This stuff works like magic! Oh and did I mention no aweful smells? It's actually practically scent free, and with only a very slightly oily feeling that kinda resembles suntan lotion feeling, but more tolerable. You will not regret trying this stuff, I wish I knew about this stuff ages ago, Sawyer is my new favorite bug repellent!

Did some research and this was suggested over spays containing deet. Used by myself and partner during two weeks in Costa Rica. Seemed to be very effective. We only had a couple of bites each while others using things like Jungle Formula had many more. It doesn't damage clothes or equipment, not sticky and no bad smell. One application lasts hours. Definitely recommend

Ok. Heres the skinny. Dont believe me, research it yourself. 1. Just as effective as deet for ticks and mosquitos according to 3rd party tests. (i trust that more than peoples opinion... think placebo affect of people smelling deet and assuming it works better because it smells like a chemical bomb) 2. MORE effective than deet for biting flies/chiggars/ knats. (third party studies verify this) 3. Virtually scentless! No, seriously, its not marketing bafoonery. 4. Not oily! when it dries, you legit cant feel anything. You dont even know you have anything on. Deet and even the sawyer picaridan spray is a little oily. For what every reason the lotion is less oily than the spray which makes no sense. 5. Lasts longer! for what ever reason the lotion last longer and isnt oily... not sure how that works... 6. Picaridan is non toxic to dogs, deet is highly toxic to dogs. 7. Picaridan doesnt damage synthetic clothing. Deet does. Downsides? The only one i can think of outside of (its a little more expensive) is that it supposedly is not as sweat resistant as oil based deet solutions. Literally, that is the only checkbox in deets favor...

My husband and I traveled to Miami for a wedding recently. We are planning to have kids soon, and even though the Zika problem seems to be under control, we didn't want to take any chances. I purchased this stuff on the recommendation of Consumer Reports, and it is definitely the best stuff I've ever found. I made it through a five-day trip without a single bite! My husband ended up with two bites, but I'm going to chalk that up to user error (I think he missed his ankles and wrists during application). I preferred the lotion packets to the 4oz spray, mostly because I just felt like I was getting more complete coverage. Bonus points for the fact that it is completely unscented.
