Natrapel - 8 Hour Insect Repellent

A great alternative to DEET-- much less toxic, corrosive, and even smells better. This is so far the only thing that works on tropical mosquitoes, sand flies, and midges. Lasts for a few hours, even with heavy sweating. Pump spray is handy and you can put it in a checked bag on a plane.

Mixed feelings....It works well, like we do not get bites at all. however it is hard to get out and to spray on. it doesn't wipe well once it is on the skin so you have to spray it like 10 times for one leg and trying to get those angles can be tricky. I would buy it again because it works well, but maybe try to get a friend to apply it

I love this product. Insect repellents always have a peculiar smell, but this stuff does not smell bad and is not overpowering like most other insect repellents - and MOST IMPORTANTLY it really works to keep the insects away. I've found the pump to be really good quality - firm voluminous sprays with no clogging like many other small spray bottle pumps I've used in the past. Also, the plastic cap covering the spray nozzle is fairly thick and grabs on tight - so I have no issue putting this in a backpack or in the side-pocket of a car. Cheaper/thinner plastic caps I've used in the past have cracked, meaning the cap no longer does it's job and I can't be as portable with whatever the spray product is. Not the case here. Pro-tip: spray this in your car as well. I've found it creates a nice 'bug-barrier' for times when I'm in/around infested areas and don't want the insects following me in. I guess I wouldn't spray this on leather, but have found no issues spraying on my cloth seats.

After reading up on DEET vs picaridin, went with picaridin for my trip to mosquitoland because I don't like how DEET ruins your plastic gear. This worked fantastic and I didn't mind putting it on because the scent is mild, it wasn't greasy, and it stayed put with one application. I put it on over sunscreen and both worked. Not a single bite on areas that I sprayed, but others in my group were eaten alive. It leaves a slight sheen on your skin - no big deal. Very happy with this product.

This tiny bottle works miracles! The spray is potent and protects you like an aura of magic mosquito kryptonite. We sprayed as directed on the bottle. It is very long lasting and the scent is nice. We wore mosquito repellent bracelets and sprayed regularly. This size is perfect for travel, TSA approved, and we were able to take it with us on our tour and exploration adventures in thailand. The mosquitos in thailand are quite savage and their bites sting! Got bit 3x (had a massage and hadn't reapplied all day and lady took off repellent bracelet during thai massage). Never take off bracelets, always reapply accordingly, and take with you as needed. Great repellent and a little goes a long way!
