Bug Soother® MAX Natural Tick & Mosquito Repellent Spray – DEET-Free Extra Strength Outdoor Bug Protection, Plant-Based Formula – Made in USA (2ct 8 oz Bottles)

Great smell. Eases itching and deters bugs! Love this stuff!!!

I must be John Cena because the mosquitos cannot see me when I wear this stuff. It smells pleasant to me, very natural, floral and earthy. Be careful when spraying it on indoors if you have pets. It has a very strong scent that comes through. I usually only need to use this twice a day even if I am sweating- it helps to spray not just on skin but also clothing, hats etc. that you wear. Mosquitos will look like they're going to land then go away from me, like they think they smell me but can't find me. Considering I'm 99% positive Satan sent these bloodsuckers for me, it's nice to have them sent back empty-stomached. I have used this products before, but the regular Bug Soother. Both are excellent, but I also use the regular Bug Soother in my shoes before putting them on the boot dryer. Pulls smells out and seems to be a natural antifungal.

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.

Works great and smells good.

It works. I am currently in an area of Florida where Hurricane Ian took out all the creatures that eat mosquitoes and no-see-ums. So these horrible blood sucking insects have multiplied to where they are more than a nuisance. There’s 21 bites just on my arms. I am the one they love and that usually means anyone around me is safe. But my whole family is bit up too. It’s like they’re starving and we showed up just to be their feast. They are ruining our vacation. So I ordered this along with $100 of other things to try. They still approach me when I spray this, but I see them fly away when they get close. Sadly due to their numbers, they are still biting where I haven’t sprayed - like my jaw and toes. And through my shirt! Seriously. Choice words. So it does work where you spray it. And I would suppose that if I wasn’t in a petri dish environment with famished microscopic monsters, it would work even on areas I didn’t spray. The scent is bearable. And I like that it doesn’t have deet. I also sprayed it on my dog’s back to keep them away as he is low to the ground and stirs them up in the grass. I see them fly away from him too. It works but I do have to apply liberally for total repulsion.

I really wanted to love this stuff. It is incredibly effective at keeping bugs away and it does it without deet or any harsh chemicals. But good lord...it smells HORRENDOUS. The cacophony of essential oil smells is an assault on the senses. I expected Citronella and Lemongrass, but those scents combined with all the others (particularly the clove oil) makes this stuff absolutely revolting. My dogs and cat won't come near me if I have it on, my husband can smell it across the room, and I can't stand being around myself if I have it on. I am keeping the bottles because they are very, very effective, so I will use them on the rare occasion that I go walking by myself away from all humans and pets (usually if we are camping or something). And only if I'm planning on immediately taking a shower afterwards. If you want an all natural solution that doesn't make you impossible to be around, try Nat Patch. They work and while they do have a pretty strong citronella smell, it's isolated to the patch which you get to remove when you come back inside and they don't scare away my dogs or my husband. :) And it works great!

Used it for the first time this month after finding it hidden in my potting bench. 10/10!! I had to reapply it after about 90 minutes because I tend to sweat heavily in the South Georgia humidity but it was the best repellent I’ve ever used. Will definitely be ordering again as soon as this one gets low!

Good natural alternative, keeps bugs away but do need to reapply every few hours. I really like the smell.
