Product Reviews of Bite Blocker Insect Repellent 4.7 oz. Spray
Product Review: Best "natural" product
Summary: 5 Stars
I have tried every "natural" repellant on the market and this is easily the best if have used. I have tried products with a vanilla base, pepermint base, and catnip base. Most of these went away quickly because they simply didn't work. Most of the natural brands nowadays are combinations of citronella, lemon grass and eucalyptus and they are fairly common. Burt's Bees, NOW brand and others come to mind. These actually work pretty good for mosquitoes in Amarillo TX area, however they aren't very effective against aggressive biting flies around here.This product works better than others on mosquitoes(I guess we do not have the Asian Tiger) and WAY better against flies. It doesn't smell great but neither does citronella or DEET for that matter. If they smelled really good, they would probably attract bugs and would be called perfume. A word of caution: Most folks with any knowledge at all have become aware that DEET is harmful, especial for young kids whose brains are still developing. Lots of these same folks never think about the carrier chemicals used in name brand "natural" repellants. I have one from WallyWorld that has Di-n-propyl isocinchomeronate and N-Octyl bichloheptene dicarboximide for carrier chemicals. It also has "inert ingredients" that aren't named. Scientists are starting to take a skeptical look at these carrier chemicals since they are not well studied, especially in combination with the myriad of active ingredients with which they are frequently combined. I prefer not to slather them over my own body and absolutely WILL NOT use them on my grand kids! Bite Blocker uses only food-grade plant-based ingredients including soybean oil and geranium oil and is rated "safest for kids" by ConsumerSearch(consumersearch.com). I prefer the lotion; a little more trouble to put on, less waste and more effective. Use the spray for touch ups. It works good for us.Product Review: Does not work. Smells awful.

This spray does not repel insects. I have tried to use it many times, each time increasing the amount I spray on. I then worry if anyone near me thinks I smell like vomit. This product has the most disgusting smell. I will never purchase it again.Product Review: Doesn't work at all
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this product because I was looking for a natural mosquito repellent and this had good reviews. The whole family sprayed this on and were covered in mosquito bites. It's almost as if it attracted them. I don't remember ever getting bitten up this bad using nothing at all. The more we sprayed on, the more we got bitten. A complete waste of money.Product Review: Excellent & Natual Product
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this product ... I live in the woods & to sit outside was just about impossible. Other bug spray's fragrance bothered my allergies. This product not only repels the bugs but it softens your skin. The fragrance is light & natural. Have told everyone about it. My friends love the children's version too.Product Review: Excellent, safe product
Summary: 5 Stars
I researched DEET-free products for hours, and found that through thorough testing, this product was found to be as effective as products using DEET (found this info on .gov website). Mosquitoes LOVE my children, and I live in Florida near water and plenty of shade, where my children can be outside less than 5 minutes and come in with 20 bites easily. Bite Blocker actually prevents my children from getting bitten (and....safely).
It does have a smell to it, but it's not bad enough for me to change products. It's amazing how well this works - I've let my children wear sandals outside and forgotten to spray their feet, and they'll actually come in with mosquito bites on just their feet. These mosquitoes are just waiting to attack, and don't attack where I've sprayed Bite Blocker. I've used their spray as well as their lotion (slightly prefer the spray).
