They Might Land On You But They Will Not Bite You!

Best insect repellent on the market. Mosquitoes may land on you but they won’t bite you!

Wish I Had It Decades Ago!

I've used this repellent for 3 years now & it has kept all types of biting & annoying insects off of me from PA to MT during fishing trips. You may have to re-apply it every few hours for black flies & gnats, but it is efficient.

Best Bug Protection.

Best product I have tried with out the smell. I would recommend this highly especially with kids.

Consumer Reports Says Better Than Deet

I couldn't find this anywhere in our area except at Dick's, though Sawyer's online info said several stores carry it. It's terrific--repels mosquitoes better than Deet: in tests, with Deet, they land but don't bite; with Picaridin, they don't land. Was going to Martinique. I didn't see any mosquitoes, but I felt confident that I'd repel them if they did turn up! Also got a good mosquito net cheap at Dick's. It's a terrific store.

It Works !

Love this stuff! No burning or woozy feeling like you get with Deet products and it works better. I use it fishing all the time and it repels all flying insects including mosquitos,knats,yellow flies and horse flies.

Great Insect Repellent!

I've bought this insect repellent because products with Deet give me headaches when I apply it to my face. It works so well that I have purchased it several times. It also works better than insect repellents with Deet since the mosquitoes don't have to land on the skin to be deterred. It also lasts longer (eight hours) without having to reapply. I use the lotion for my face and spray for other locations. You can spray your hands and apply to your head also. Don't get this in your eyes or it will irritate them, because it is pepper based. I spend a lot of times in the outdoors and this product is great!

This Is The Only Repellent That Really Works!

We just returned from a trip to Anguilla and this was a this repellent was the only one that worked. I was only bitten when I forgot to put it on and walked on the beach to a restaurant that was close by and they gave me some OFF repellent (that made me gag due to the strong odor) and it only attracted the mosquitos to bite me. I remembered to apply the Sawyer insect repellent for the rest of our vacay and didn't get a single bite. This product is totally wearable and doesn't have that offensive odor that the Deet sprays have and I felt comfortable using it on my daughter.

No Smell... It Just Works.

I bought this for a week on the the Mississippi in July... it worked better than I had hoped.

Picaridin

I bought this for my trip to Africa. No bites at all

Easy To Apply Works Well !

I dont like to use spray's as they get inhaled. Better control with this lotion Did not irritate my skin and kept the bugs away !

Works Beautifully In Mosquito Infested Yard!

I've been using this product for a year. I live on the coast in Florida and with the humidity and heat mosquitoes are swarming. I just used some on all exposed body parts and assembled some equipment in my garage/driveway area for an hour. Mosquitoes were all around me but no bites! Not a single one! This is the ONLY product that works for me. OFF? They drink it. Cutter? Same thing. Picaridin works and is better on my skin and watch faces than DEET (melts plastic). Try it!!

Useless

Black flies, gnats, and mosquitoes are out in force around my place this time of year. It is nigh impossible to do anything outside without being bitten, swarmed, and completely annoyed by them flying around the back of your head, in your face and eyes, and diving in your ears. I have tried other products in the past with zero success, and I recently found this brand while searching for other solutions online. I purchased both the lotion and spray, and have tried both extensively, alone, and as a combination of both together. This product in my own experience has absolutely no effect on my insects. Trips outside still involve constantly swatting and shooing bugs away from my face, the back of my head, and from out of my ears.
