Picaridin-based repellent works. My experience is with mosquitoes in South Carolina. It is effective for several hours and seems to remain effective while sweating heavily. I don't know if it works after swimming. If "feels" better than DEET, which has a kind of sticky/oily feel. With Sawyers repellent, you must do a good job of spreading the repellent. If you miss a spot, the mosquitoes will find that spot. Sawyers doesn't seem to stain clothing, even though it says "do not apply to clothing".

I've used this stuff for quite a few years and I think it does a good job of protecting against bug bites (without using toxic ingredients). My only problem with it is that it's very hard to use on some areas of the body (legs, especialy) 'cause it will only spray out when held in an upright position and that's very hard to do when trying to cover the legs while you're standing. I also have the cream version which is easier to use in those instances.

Picaridin is the best insect repellent ever. Very effective and odorless. I have used the lotion in the past with great results tried the spay this time still effective, but I prefer the lotion it was easier to apply.

Lots to like about the product. A little expensive and a little more trouble to apply (since it's not an aerosol) but overall a good alternative to the more traditional repellants

We go to the lake about every weekend, I would also come back home with about 20+ chigger bites! I researched different products and found this product to have high reviews. I decided to give it a try. After using this, CHIGGER FREE weekend! I also have a bottle at my house for those pesky mosquitoes. No more bites! Love this product!!
