Badger Bug Repellent Stick, Natural Citronella, Travel Size, 0.6 oz

First off - just because bugs are buzzing around your head does not mean they are biting you. They are just attracted to your thermal image. This stick does not keep the bugs from hanging around your face. But it does keep them from biting you. I used this stick and came away with only two black fly bites after four hours outside birdwatching with a group in relatively buggy environments. No mosquitoes bit me at all. I do suggest reapplying at intervals if you are sweating. The smell is strong but not overwhelming. Can be applied directly to skin if you do not have allergies to any of the ingredients. Tuck in a chest pocket and reapply as needed. Handy dandy!!! Great for kids, too, because of the natural ingredients.

Perfect for my 18 month old. I like that this is not a spray and I don’t have to worry about the mess of normal bug spray. The smell is not overwhelming and it works really well. My poor son gets bites if he just walks outside for one minute and this works so well without leaving his skin all sticky.

Love this. Certified organic. Housed in a tin, this has a great blend of essential oils known to help ward off pests. The scent is strong and Long-lasting. The scent for me lasts about 4-5 hours before it becomes faint. From what I know, These essential oils should be safe for your dog (not sure about cats). You can try some on their collar. To me, the scent isn't as offensive as say peppermint oil. It has citronella, cedar, lemongrass, rosemary , geranium, in a emoillent wax base of castor oil, extra virgin olive oil, and beeswax. I can definitely smell the lemongrass/rosemary/cedar combo. It didn't irritate my skin but I like to rub some on my clothing (do a test first for staining). I didn't find it oily or greasy on the skin because it seem to sink in. As a bug repellent, different pests respond to different essential oils, so it's hard to cover everything. If you are the type that attracts them, I found This is added insurance to keep them away, but if you are hiking/walking in an infested area, swarming with say mosquitos, I can't guarantee that you will 100% be protected. I have tried other badger products (lip balms) , and they are consistent in quality and value. I think they are great company.

I would give this five stars because it carries easily in my purse, except it becomes messy if it gets warm. I like the smell and it seems to work well.

Fantastic product keeps bugs away for long periods, quick and easy to apply and doesn't put aerosol everywhere.

I remember using this stuff when I was a kid and it working wonders, and then my parents couldn't find it in stores anymore and I had to tough it out on my own. I am either VERY attractive to mosquitoes or VERY allergic to them, or likely some combination of the two, because they are a massive issue for me if I even dare to step outside the house in the summer. And then, horror of all horrors, I moved to the SOUTH and started getting absolutely eaten alive, like, bites swelling and running into each other on any exposed parts of my skin. I was reminiscing about this old badger bug balm I used to use as a kid, and my genius wife looked for it on Amazon -- life changing. I was worried when I got it that either the formula would have changed, as often happens with things one has used since childhood, or that it wouldn't work as well as I remembered it in the rosy glow of hindsight. But it works just as well as it always has! It's a bit greasy and sticky, but it's 1,000% worth it to not smack a mosquito every two seconds every time I brave the outdoors, and it feels way better on the skin than most other bug repellents, which are either oily or disturbingly powdery/dry. It smells amazing, and I'm not worried about any of the ingredients either sinking into my skin or being accidentally consumed if I eat while outside or sweat into my eyes or whatever, which is why I don't feel comfortable using DEET-containing sprays on a daily basis. Any bites that make it through I treat with the 2% topical Benadryl gel, and I can survive the summer without avoiding anything that makes summer fun, and without dreading having to mow the lawn. Thank you trusty Badger!P.S., I am slightly concerned that Amazon prompted me to rate the flavor of this product as well as the scent. Please do not eat it. I am giving it five stars for flavor, however, because it's the bug repellent I would choose to eat if I was faced with a buffet of bug repellents and told that i had to eat one of them. It would probably taste like beeswax and rosemary essential oil, if the scent is any indication. It's never occurred to me to taste it, but I can't say I'm not curious now. I will update my review if I decide to do so.

I love that this product is all natural however it doesn't seem to be very effective for my daughter. I used the spray and made sure she had a good amount on her however she was still getting a good amount of mosquito bites on her. But I use the same spray for myself and my other daughter. I still find myself getting a few mosquito bites even after using this spray but less then if I were to not use it at all. It seems to work excellent for my other daughter though she never has a mosquito bite on her. I think it really has to do with your blood type and how the scent is mixing with your natural body oder with how effective this product is.

Easy to apply & super effective at keeping biting mosquitoes away! Works very well, every time.

Used this a few weeks back when i was stood next to a stream whilst Hubby was taking photos - (on the day the Sun was obscured by the Saharan dust in Derbyshire) - I was quite wrapped up but my face, ears neck and hands were exposed and I started to get bitten my midges so i applied this to my forehead, ears, neck and backs of my hand - it worked! - I lightly rubbed one finger in the pot and then swiped this across my forehead etc and repeated about 3 times to take effect - The smell is not overpowering but obviously enough to deter the midges - It appears this tin will last a fair while - You don't have to apply it all over - And no deet or nasty chemicals - Will be buying some more of this when the tin eventually gets near empty

Very good and natural balm

すごい！虫が来ないですしかも 優しい成分で肌荒れもないです香りはそこそこ強めで 好き嫌いがわかれそうな気はしますアロマ系が大丈夫な人向きかな…？

I live in the Scottish highlands and every year I get eaten by midges. This year is a different story. I am so happy I found this product. It isn’t too greasy and doesn’t look like I have anything on my face when applied. I also smell nice. However if you have this on for days on end you can feel a bit sick with the lemon like smell. The tin will last more than a year. I’ve used a handful of times and it still looks unused. Remember to spread the balm around your ears too as the midge is not fussy where she bites! Handy wee tin fits in pocket and natural ingredients are great for my ultra sensitive skin.
