100 Max Mosquito Repellent DEET Insect Repellent Spray - 4 fl oz Pump

Dilute with alcohol to reduce concentration, if so desired. Repels black flies and mosquitos. I find wearing pants, long sleeve shirt, socks, boots, and hat help alot. Then apply a little to your hand and rub on neck, face, hands. Sprey knees and elbow. That works for me. Edit I diluted to about 35 percent. It initially works for a short while to repel black flies. Then I need to reapply. I am also sweating a lot which may be washing off the DEET. So far did not try 100% dilution. Reliable sources say DEET not as effective for black flies, and now I think they are correct. I now use insect net over my head. I see the black flies hovering over the net, but they can’t get in. Some say spray DEET on the net. Black flies are horrible. They will ruin your day and even cause accidents because of their incessant mobbing and harassment.

When you have a bug biting problem do you wanna fool around with a bunch of gimmicks or do you want to just make the bugs quit biting you? Well if you’re like me and you want the bugs to leave you alone this is the product you need. I am 66 years old and have been fishing hunting camping and playing in the woods most of my life. A couple of weeks ago I went fishing in the back waters and the no Seeums which were not no seeums because I could see them were biting the heck out of me and the other two people on my boat. I reached down to get a bag that is normally on the boat with bug spray on it and it was not there. Between the three of us we had a half a dozen other bug repellents, Which did nothing to keep the bugs away. We had stuff that smelled good may have tasted good but did not work to keep the bugs away. the next six hours we were miserable. If we were not catching so many fish we would’ve probably gone home. That night I came home and purchased two containers of this product. The day after the product showed up, I returned to the backwaters to fish again. As soon as the bugs came out I sprayed down with us and for the rest of the day no more biting bugs. 100% deet is the only way to go.

This simply works. A little dab will do ya. Mosquitoes, flies, even stupid box elder bugs stay away with this stuff. While they don't sting or bit, they definitely are creepy. Putting their little hands where they really don't belong! Dangerous? I'll give up a few tomorrows, probably when I'm old and infirm (er). So, okay. For a few summers without bugbites and creepouts. Besides, who knows what those things which bite might carry. Fair deal. If you want to try organic stuff that doesn't work, or whatever it is that is passing for ecco, healthy, or whatnot. Go for it. When you get tired of fail, this is the way. They say 30% is good. If you want to keep reapplying, go that way. I like once or twice and done, for a whole day, not four or five or six times. Besides, how would that be any "healthier"? A stitch in time shut up. Anyway. YMMV.

I was so tired of being dive-bombed by the yellow flies in Southwest Florida that I ordered five different products that promised relief from "biting flies". The first thing I tried was Deep Woods Off. Unfortunately it did nothing to protect me and I continued to be harassed and bitten by these nasty 'jaws with wings'. The second thing I tried was the highly rated sticky tape that you attach to your hat that promises to attract and trap the flies. This was even less effective than the Deep Woods Off. In fact I had to use the old P.T. Barnum adage to describe the effects as "there's a sucker born every minute". That sucker in this case was me. The only way I could see it working was if you applied the tape to a tennis racket and swung it at the biting menaces. The Coleman 100 Percent Deet is the only one that has worked so far. While I'm still being buzzed by the little critters, none of them has landed and done any damage on any part of my body covered with this spray. The two drawbacks that I've noticed include that you can sweat the product off pretty rapidly--requiring frequent reapplications--and that the plastic cap has melted (in the Florida heat) and fused itself to the nozzle, requiring some effort to separate the two each time I use it.But with those two little problems considered, it has still kept me the little buggers from driving me absolutely crazy when working in the yard. That in itself is worth four stars. NOTE: OF THE FIVE PRODUCTS I BOUGHT AND TRIED, THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT EFFECTIVELY REPELLED THE FLORIDA YELLOW FLY. THANK GOD THERE IS SOMETHING OUT THERE THAT WORKS! THE ONLY OTHER SOLUTION IS TO WEAR LONG PANTS, A LONG-SLEEVED SHIRT, GLOVES, AND A HAT WITH FLAPS AND MOSQUITO NETTING. KUDOS TO COLEMAN!

Works awesome

I took this to Brazil on the amazon river, lived on a boat for over a week and maybe got bit a handful of times when I forgot to apply before the bugs came out in the evening. Many people I was with got bit multiple times despite using regular grade bug spray. I was not one of them. I had no issues with the bottle leaking but still put it in plastic as a precautionary. As others have said though, this stuff is quite strong chemically. It ran down the bottle a bit and ate at the label. It ran my nail polish (going to try gel nails on my trip to panama this year and see how they hold up), and also the colors of my rubber flip flops instantly. I didn't take any really nice clothes that I'd be concerned with, but didn't notice any issues there with color running or eating at material. Only use when needed! I applied in the morning if I was up early with the bugs, early in the evening as the bugs were coming out, and again before bed since we slept in open air hammocks. I would highly recommend this to anyone traveling to a high risk mosquito zone, but I would also recommend that this be used with caution as it is potent!

I work maintaining a stream & trail in the woods, while working in the stream tiny black flies swarm all over me. This repellant keeps the flies somewhat at bay, yet not as much as I'd hoped. Some of the persistent flies still bite, yet it keeps all other insects away. Certainly better than deep woods off..using that is like splashing sugar water in my skin.

Don’t be scared by DEET, this stuff is safe to put on your skin and is the only bug spray ingredient that is consistently effective at repelling insects. I use this for my whole family on warm summer nights when mosquitos and flies are a problem and we don’t get bitten. This is the most effective and cost-effective insect repellent I’ve used. If we’re sitting outside on our patio I also use a citronella candle for a wide area of effect which coupled with this spray is completely effective.

Ordered twice the same produc. Super fast delivery. Read a lot of good reviews about this product. I hope it would give enough protection during my vacation in Bangladesh. The country is now badly affected by Dengue and Chikunguny.

Delivery was incredibly fast and the item came just as expected.
