The first time I used this product was when I went camping and its formula is way too strong, as soon as I applied it I felt something in my throat and immediately after I go very sick, nausea, stomachache and headache. I don't know why did I have that reaction to it but it last...

I would buy this again. The product is a bit on the expensive side but is easy to apply and works well. I use it on ny kids primarily to protect against mosquitos and they do not get bitten when its applied.

I absolutely love this product. It protects a 4.5x4.5 meter space so everyone around you gets protection too! Non toxic to humans is a big bonus. The downfall- it’s toxic to cats, bees,and fish.

This really works. It has to be hung up a distance away from where you are - we usually hang it on the other side of the yard when we have a fire. It works really well - it has a UV light that attracts bugs. You can hear them get zapped, so you know it is working! The only...

Very great for smaller kids as they run around and play and sweat. It last a long time and it’s very effective doesn’t come off when u sweat. It doesn’t bother my kids at all and it helps them from getting bit.

If you are planning to have a back yard party, BBQ, going on a camping trip, or you just want to lie around your back yard in the evening, then Off Yard and Deck Spray is what you need to keep those little bighting buggers away. We had a Buck & Doe party at a friend's house a...

The Mosquito patch is amazing it is a little sticker that you pop on to your skin, shirt, stroller etc - it is safe for all ages and the best part is it contains no DEET and because it is a little sticker that there is no messy residue and no yucky feeling. While at the...

I was really rooting for this product to solve all my bug bitten needs but sadly it fell short. The scent isn’t overwhelming but the bugs seem to enjoy it instead of being repelled.

it was recommended to me by another friend. i try to be as chemical-free as possible, but when it comes to kids and bugs, it's a hard toss-up! Don't Bug Me is made by Dierbe, a local, Canadian company making vegan and organic soaps and skin care products. it smells...

I love this to use on my kids. I buy the ingredients from my Homeopathic doctor and make it at home. It is natural and contains no DEET and it works great. The nice thing because it is natural, if the kids want to lie on the couch or bed I don't cringe knowing I will have...

I like that it works without deet and has a citrus smell, not the stinky deet smell.

I had some ants coming into my house through the front porch and although this product is for ant hills I thought that the little attachment would fit into the hole that the ants were going into. It only took one spray and by the next day I didn’t see any more ants inside so I...

I was chewed up by mosquitoes and hoped for some relief but that never came. I liked the old After Bite, the one with a very strong smell but effective. The new one does nothing and the itching drives me crazy no matter how much cream I apply.

I think this is a waste of money ,it doesn't keep any bugs away, took it camping with us and we got eaten alive disappointing for a product that isn't cheap

For me, these worked well to reduce the number of bites that I could have gotten in the summer and in high mosquito areas in the tropics for nearly a 24 hour period. (Smaller than average sized person) It was simple to apply and did not require any maintenance once it was on...
