5.0 out of 5 stars The best bug spray ever!
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2024
First, I'll never use another bug repellent. My daughter is a farmer and more than once, she has had a tick burrowed under her skin. She follows up with antibiotics but how often can you do that. I started researching bug repellents and decided to try this one. As a side note, I recently moved to the mountains and the thought of Lyme disease is always on my mind. So I too started using Sawyer spray. It's like a miracle! The best part is that there is hardly any smell. With other bug repellents I thought my lungs would give out first but not with Sawyer. And no bites, no ticks. My daughter wants to buy it by the case! We're both on our second can of this wonder spray and needless to say we highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best bug repellent I have ever used!
Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2024
I used this product for our annual trip to a place where the non biting gnats are all in your face like you see on Safari videos. We put this repellent on and there was hardly a gnat on us. Although it states up to 12 hours, with the heat and sweating we felt the need to reapply about every 2-3 hours. But, goodness gracious, the relief of not having those gnats in your face was priceless. Another test was after the hurricane with the abundance of standing water and a fresh hatching of mosquitos. Walking the dogs you were swarmed with mosquitos. We put on the repellent and not one mosquito bite! I am a lifetime customer. Safe for kids and pregnant women so I bought some for my pregnant daughter and her two year also.

This works well as insect repellent. It doesn’t have a strong odor. It lasts all day.

The spray is nice and even. It can go on a little thick if you are heavy handed with the spray button. It’s less like brand name bug spray and more like a spray paint can where you only need to barely press to get a light spray.

My home has a lot of mosquitos and I will wear this product daily during the rainy season. This is less greasy than Deet spray (a feature of all picardin sprays). As mentioned there is no odor and my clothes can go in my regular hamper with no problem at the end of the day.

4.0 out of 5 stars It works!
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2024
Some years I can get by without bug spray or with just essential oils but this year the mosquitoes think I'm the best buffet around! I remembered I'd bought this stuff last summer so I dug it out & wow! What a relief it is to be able to enjoy being in my yard again! I took a star off cuz it stays kind of moist on your skin so have to try to remember not to touch anywhere that's been sprayed if you don't want it on your hands & then in your eyes or mouth by accident.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Easiest to Spray of Three Alternatives
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2024
We live on an estuary in Florida and the mosquitos and no-seeums are thick in the mornings and evenings. I apply a deet or picaridin spray on my feet, and a Lemon Eucalyptus repellent on my face, ears, and neck, and spray my long sleeve UPF jacket and long pants with a picaridin spray for clothes. I also wear gloves when working.

I chose three different brands based on reviews by Consumer Reports and Consumer Lab. They all seem to work equally well but Sawyers picaridin is much easier for me to spray (arthritis).
The Off brand was significantly less expensive at Walmarts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great protection without the odor of deet products
Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2024
A family member recommended this repellent to us while we were visiting this summer and I order some for us when we returned home. I have to date never been bit by anything while using this product and I spend a lot of time outdoors. So far this product seems to provide equal protection to that of deet based products and had none of the offensive smell or greasy texture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good alternative to DEET repellants
Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2024
I don't react well to DEET products. My skin gets bright red when sprayed with a high DEET repellant. I tried this product and was very pleased. First, I could wear it without the redness. Second, it was effective on mosquitoes. Third, it did not leave a strong odor. I tried it on a week long camping trip in July in Voyageurs NP where it did a good job on the skeeters, but not the flies. I have also tried it hiking mid summer in east Texas after a rainy spell and walked through clouds of mosquitoes without a bite or even a landing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good product + Poor design = Waste
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2024
This works well and doesn't have added fragrances or other unnecessary ingredients. It lasts long like it says.
HOWEVER, it apparently sprays out a lot very fast, because our family of 6 (4 being small children with small surface areas) only used it twice and it was gone. Our manual spray bottle with the same amount of product lasted 3 times as long. Because it inevitably applies a thick layer it leaves skin sticky for a long time.
Also, the can is twice as large as it needs to be. The size is annoying if you want to take it along with you like in a backpack.
