It works!
My daughter is super allergic to mosquitos and she always gets bit more than the rest of us. It is tough to find bug sprays because we only want to use the all natural ones, and I really was starting to feel like we've tried almost every one on Amazon without much success. We were planning to go on a swamp tour in Louisiana and the last time we went on one, she got eaten alive, so I needed to find a new spray. Last time, we used the Skedattle brand in the green bottle and that was pretty useless. I decided to give this spray a try, it was one I hadn't tried yet, I loved that it was organic, and it contained a good blend of the essential oils that I typically target. Here's what I found: Before we started, I sprayed this on lightly and she also had on a Super Bands bug bracelet- we only saw a couple mosquitoes and they didn't land so we thought it was working well. However, as soon as we got closer to the water and whenever we would stop moving on the tour, the mosquitoes would start to swarm. I watched and they would circle, not wanting to land where the spray was, which was good, BUT they would find the smallest patch of skin/clothes where you may not have gotten the spray and would land there. We would spray them as soon as they landed and that did the trick, but we're not going to stand around and do that all day... so we ended up pretty much drenching our clothes in the stuff. It dried quickly and didn't stain our clothes or anything. I didn't want to spray it on our faces though, so for that I used my other go-to... pure vanilla extract. Immediately those two things made a big difference, they actually weren't even really swarming as much after that. At the end of the day... success!! She didn't get bit once. I'll definitely buy this spray again because it worked for us... and since the vanilla and the bug bracelets probably helped as well, I'm going to stick with that combo. :) Hope that helps!
