Insect Repellent Reviews
If there's one major advantage winter's freeze has over the summer months, it's the absence of biting insects. Beyond the simple annoyance factor, the risk of contracting an insect-borne disease like Lyme or West Nile working our way through the pest control aisle in search of the best product to banish bugs.
Common bug repellents include sprays, candles, smokers, and electronic zappers. Those with chemical sensitivities are finding more natural and alternative products now coming to market.

As a northern Canadian resident, I know as well as the next person up here that sometimes mosquitoes are so big you'd swear they could pick up a kid and take them away. With small children, bug spray is a hassle, most kids don't like getting sprayed with bad tasting chemicals...

When I go out to the nature/outdoors, I always am one of the first to be bitten. It'll be okay if it didn't swell up as soon as I get bitten but I do. So I always need protection, I even got 50% DEET spray once (not available in Canada because the deet percentage is not legal in...

This bugs spray is great, it doesn't have a strong smell like other bugs spray, it actually smells quite good. It is pretty effective and seems to keep the bugs off. This spray doesn't feel tacky on the skin and is safe for all over use and great for kids.

I purchased the Gold Bond Anti Ich lotion on a big whim! I had the worst sunburn I’ve ever head. From my shoulders, back and down my legs even behind my knees. Aloe Vera gel was not cutting it at all! I started using the gold bond on day three and it’s my go to after sun...

My poor cat ended up with fleas this winter and she is an indoor cat. I did let her out a few times on her leash during the mild days we had this past winter. My vet wasn't surprised as a lot of pet owners were seeing her for the same thing. I was given advantage and the fleas...

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...

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.

I've been using a lot of different oils of lately and honestly I had heard of frankincense but was unaware that it was an oil. I have read that this was great for stress and anxiety which I have a lot of. -I put a few drops of this oil in my aromatherapy diffuser and used it...

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.

I bought this product, used it once, and set it aside. When I picked it up again, I found that it was stuck to my floor tiles. Not only was it stuck to the tiles, the bottom of the can had actually eaten a circle in the tiles. There is quite an indentation on the tiles. If...

I used this last weekend before I went outside to pull weeds all afternoon--a job that usually attracts many flying insect fans, just dying to get a bite out of me. I expected the same thing to happen, and I had some trepidation about skipping my usual bug spray to test this...

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.

This is a great product. I love the smells of cinnamon, lemon and cedarwood. We went up into northern Ontario during black fly season. I sprayed it on the exposed places, which it seemed to do a pretty good job (and a really great job for my friend who also used it). I still got...

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.

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...

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...

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 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...
