Great alternative to all those chemical sprays

I really like how this bug spray smells! I didn't need to use it a lot this summer on my body, but I've been spraying it on my porch cushions to keep the squirrels from ripping them apart and also on my Halloween pumpkins to keep the squirrels from eating them. It's working great! It has a strong cinnamon smell and my porch smells lovely when you walk up. Of course this is not what it's meant for, but it works great and it's nice to have a natural product around when I need it. It also has a nice misty spray.

I'm hesitant to say this bug spray alone kept ticks and mosquitos away because we used this in conjunction with a lawn care product, but I think it definitely helped! We live in a wooded residential area, and haven't had issues with ticks until this year. We found a tick in our living room, and then two on our youngest son-but none on our dog (who is on Bravecto). Worried about the diseases ticks can transmit, I began doing research on ways to reduce ticks in our yard, dog, and kids. We put down some Scott's lawn care product designed to help keep ticks away, and also sprayed the edge of our yard and trees. We used this bug spray on our kids whenever they went outside, and I frequently sprayed their shoes with it as well. I put it on our dog-he didn't like the smell because it's so strong (but smells REALLY good)-just in case he was bringing ticks inside by brushing up against them with his fur. I don't want to use a bug spray with harsh chemicals on my two toddlers, so this fit the bill. I specifically chose this natural product because it contains Geranium oil, which I read is very effective in keeping ticks away, or at least preventing them from latching on.Since we started using this spray and the lawn care products we haven't had ANY bug bites or found any ticks in our house or on ourselves. We tend to not play in the grass as much anymore, so that plays a part, but I think this spray is part of the reason we don't have to use our tick key regularly.Bottom line: I'll continue using this product in addition to other products on our lawn-when it comes to my kiddos, I don't want DEET on them anytime soon! This is natural, effective, and smells great. If my opinion of this product changes in the future I'll be sure to update this review!

I love this product! It keeps the mosquitoes away. I wish I had it with me on a trip I took. I came home with over a dozen mosquitoe bites. I had gone out many times after spraying myself all over with this & did not get bit once!

The insect spray itself is great, however the bottle spray part breaks… so what good is it?

I have tried many mosquito repellants over my lifetime. A mosquito can find me in the middle of winter! Nothing has worked- in fact, I feel like some were attractants! This spray is the only thing that has worked for me. I am on my third bottle and love it! I even keep one bottle in my golf bag!

This bug spray was recommended to me bu a daycare parent who had ised it while camping. I have a home daycare, and one of the children has a sensitivity to mosquito bites, so finding something child friendly for her and everyone else is essential. We have used it for several days now, and not only does it smell great, it seems to be doing a good job. We are not out here more than a couple of hours at a time, so I can’t speak for how long it lasts, but for our needs, it is perfect!!

Sprayer broke after using it a couple times. Contacted the company & they replaced the sprayer. The spray itself didn’t work well for my son, mosquitoes still swarmed around him. I have yet to find something that works that he’s not allergic to. He wasn’t allergic to this spray but it just isn’t strong enough
