Bug Soother MAX DEET-Free Tick & Mosquito Repellent Spray, 4 oz (3 Count)

I am a biting bug magnet and have tried any number of repellents. This is the one that really works. Since I started using it I have had maybe 1 or 2 in a week instead of multiple every day. This has a pleasant scent, does not sting, and contains nothing harmful. Saved my sanity and my budget - I was scratching constantly and buying every anti-itch cream on the market but have not needed them since I started using this product. The only complaint I have is that the spray bottle nozzle frequently sticks so I bought my own spray bottle and transfer the liquid. Don't want to be without this. I have reordered multiple times.

We live in the woods and this stuff works. It does not have a chemical smell. Other sprays cause my skin to burn a little but not this stuff! Use it all the time.

The Bug Soother Max Extra Strength Natural Repellent does a decent job keeping gnats, ticks, and mosquitoes away, and I really like that it’s DEET-free and made in the USA. The herbal smell is pretty strong at first, but it’s definitely better than the harsh chemical scent most bug sprays have. My only complaint is that you have to reapply it fairly often to keep the bugs away, especially if you’re outside for a long time. Overall, it’s a good natural option and worth it if you want something safer and more eco-friendly.

Newer product to the Bug Soother line & this one is stellar. Easily applied, the scent is different than the original Bug soother, but not unpleasant. The Max lives up to it's name. Fantastic on mosquitoes, & gnats & lasts for hours. I will continue to purchase it. I also love the packaging options from Amazon, that's something not provided in the retail market.

I've used the original Bug Soother formula for a couple of years now and loved it, and recently moved to South Carolina where the bugs are more plentiful and voracious, so I tried this new Extra Strength product. Some reviewers say it has an overwhelming smell; I found this NOT to be the case (at least as concerns my nose, I'm used to the smell of essential oils, so a pronounced botanical smell is ok with me, as opposed to synthetic chemical smells). This spray worked perfectly for me working in a bug-intensive garden, in both sun and shade. I needed to shower afterward, so the product washed off easily, no issues there, the important one being that I did NOT get any bites.

I really wanted to love this stuff. It is incredibly effective at keeping bugs away and it does it without deet or any harsh chemicals. But good lord...it smells HORRENDOUS. The cacophony of essential oil smells is an assault on the senses. I expected Citronella and Lemongrass, but those scents combined with all the others (particularly the clove oil) makes this stuff absolutely revolting. My dogs and cat won't come near me if I have it on, my husband can smell it across the room, and I can't stand being around myself if I have it on. I am keeping the bottles because they are very, very effective, so I will use them on the rare occasion that I go walking by myself away from all humans and pets (usually if we are camping or something). And only if I'm planning on immediately taking a shower afterwards. If you want an all natural solution that doesn't make you impossible to be around, try Nat Patch. They work and while they do have a pretty strong citronella smell, it's isolated to the patch which you get to remove when you come back inside and they don't scare away my dogs or my husband. :) And it works great!

We took this to Roatan, Honduras to keep sand fleas and mosquitoes from biting us. We wanted something that was reef safe. It worked great for us. No bites and we were even complimented that we smelled good. The sprayer didn’t work great towards the end of the trip, but it was worth that hassle. We would purchase it again!

It works, I live in the south where the me mosquitoes get super big and super small. No bite and not ticks as I walk my dog. Great defense against bugs.
