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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great spray for gnats and a lot of other bugs *by on Reviewed in the United States July 28, 2026* This spray lasts a lot longer than the aerosol products. Like ten to twenty times as long. Works great and keeps the bugs away. Smell is not terrible and definitely not anything like the smelly do nothing commercial brands. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Well but Needs Reapplication *by on Reviewed in the United States October 30, 2025* 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bug Soother MAX - Natural Gnat, Tick, and Mosquito Repellent, 8 fl oz Bug Spray Deterrent - DEET-Free Safe for Adults and The Environment - Made in USA - All Natural Bug Soother Bonus Pack - Multi-Pack includes FREE bonus 1 oz. travel size.
