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.

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...

Is anyone else a target for vampire bugs? I think I have unknowingly put out some sort of invisible welcome mat because if I am outside, it’s a given that I will get nibbled on. As someone who hikes a lot, it’s a real concern. Even just being in my own yard makes me...

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...

This bug spray is amazing. It quickly kills and gets rid of any flies, mosquitoes, wasps and more. The precision of the spray itself is great as well because I don’t have to get too close to what I’m trying to kill. I just have to aim and spray. The formula itself seems to...

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...
Wind river mosquito repellent clothes

I bought a shirt at the steep price of $80.00plus tax. The first day I wore it a mosquito landed on my hand. The mosquito needs to land on the shirt and the chemical kills them. It doesn’t repel them though so you still need to apply deet to the places not protected by the...

I don't normally get mosquito bites, but I decided to use this when going to the cottage. It smells bad and does not work. I have never gotten so many mosquito bites in my life. Do not waste your money. Use something natural instead, like peppermint oil.

I hate wearing bug repellent. I hate mosquitos even more so I’m often reaching for the spray. I was really pleased with this repellent. It doesn’t smell terrible, and it goes on powdery smooth. It is also effective at keeping the mosquitos away.
