Badger Bug Repellent Tin, Organic Deet-Free Mosquito Repellent with Citronella, Family Friendly Pleasant Smelling Insect Repellent, Easy to Use, 2 oz Tin

Great for travel. Works well for many mosquito situations. I prefer not to use products containing Deet unless there is a danger of mosquito borne diseases like dengue fever or malaria. On a recent International trip, I took a cab that that had at least a dozen mosquitos flying around in it. I reached in my bag to get my Badger Bug repellent. I applied it on all exposed body parts. I didn’t get any bites. My travel companions declined my offer to share my repellent until they got bitten a few times. I am usually among the first to get bit. Mosquitos love me.

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.

This bug repellent balm is awesome! Not only does this repellent does a great job keeping the biting insects (mosquitoes love me) at bay, it moisturizes my skin. I haven't tested in deep woods yet, but I haven't been bitten in my yard while others in my family are picking off seed ticks. I will definitely be buying more.

Upon first opening the can the product is somewhat firm.strong but pleasant smelling. When you rub it into your fingers/hands it softens into an oily substance making it easy to apply. Spare no expense of effort in applying this to your skin, you really have to get it all over for total repellency. For the product to be most effective, I would reccomend you apply it to all exposed skin paying particular attention to the face (careful around the eyes, I close my eyes when u put it on my face), neck, ankles, and ears. This product absolutely repels bugs and I've noticed it even keeps Gnats from flying into your face or up your nose. At my camp we have gnats so bad, they swarm and land on your face, after putting this on they seem to hit an "invisible wall" and no longer are a pest. The only reason I give this product 4 stars is I am picky when it comes to textures and this is slightly greasy when you first put it on. Also it needs to be reapplied every hour or so but nothing's perfect. Overall I love this product. I've had people make fun of it at outings or campfires and by the end of the night they are begging me to lend them some and they all end up saying it works. Overall a great and safe alternative over the questionably "safe" mainstream bug repellents.

⸻ Badger Anti-Bug Balm is a lifesaver during mosquito season! It goes on smoothly, smells fresh and natural (not chemical-y), and actually works to keep bugs away. I love that it’s made with safe, organic ingredients, so I feel good using it on myself and my kids. Easy to carry around, and way better than sprays with harsh chemicals.

This product is amazing a summer must have! I used it on my child when they were a baby by applying it to her clothes which washed out well later; although it's probably safe for her skin. It's great for adults too, no need to slather it on. A reasonable amount is good and it's small enough to put in your pocket or purse. The scent is pleasant not a rude in your face smell. It's apparently natural and I recommend giving it a try! It lasted along time and didn't breakdown. Check the expiration date. I have used it past the expiration date but I prefer it to be not expired.

I have a blood type that attracts mosquitoes or flies to me. I have been looking for something organic that will repel or keep them off me. When I found this product I was very happy but it failed to meet my needs. First off with the positives, in my opinion it smells good so I had no problem rubbing it on my skin, unfortunately though bees and other insects enjoy the smell as well. So unless you like bees and other flowering insects chasing you I don’t think its that effective. Even more so, I watched a huge mosquito literally fly into my personal space and try and bite me before I swatted it away (but you only can do so much if you don’t kill it) and it found a place on my arm when I was not paying attention and still got me minutes after applying a huge swath all over my arms and neck…

Just moved back to East Coast and living on a property that has a river running behind it, so lots of bugs, lots of mosquitos. I have basically always been mosquito bait and had already gotten 4 bites the first night we were in town after only being outside for 15 min. Not a fan of chemicals with two young children, one of whom is special needs, so needed a bug repellent that wasn't deemed a neurotoxin. Just put this on myself and one of my kids last night to go outside and catch lightning bugs at dusk for about 30 minutes. I just rubbed two fingers over the balm and applied around wrists, elbows, knees and ankles and a quick swipe up calves and forearms. By no means were we covered in it and if anything I was afraid I used it too sparingly, was almost terrified to wake up the next morning to see if we had bites. Pleasantly surprised we had not a single one. The bugs still landed on us here and there so they didn't totally avoid us but they didn't bite and that's what counts. I personally didn't mind the smell and found it mild compared to other natural bug repellents. It still smells like citronella so it's obvious that you have on bug stuff but the rosemary balances it nicely and I would say it's a muted scent and I didn't mind wearing it, but again I applied it sparingly. Also, I ordered two different natural bug repellents at the same time and they came in two different boxes, when I opened the other brand's box the smell was almost unbearable and that was before I opened the plastic bag it was contained in. The box with this balm in it was mildly fragrant. I love the fact that this is a balm and not a spray so that I have more control over the application of the product. I accidentally left this in a ziploc bag with my sunscreen in my car all day on a 90 degree day.... I was expecting to see it leaked everywhere and it wasn't, I brought the bag into the house and let the tin cool to room temp without having openend it. I used it a few hours later and it was perfect, I don't think it melted in the heat at all. So far so good with this product, happy to use it on myself and my children thus far.

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

蚊を避けられたと思う。 あまりにも小さい缶だけど 結構伸びるので使えます。

I first came across this when I was in Canada, so I was really pleased to be able to buy some more in the UK. It works very well repelling flies and other flying insects when out walking. It’s a large tin so I tend to take a small amount out to put in an old lip salve container. The smell is also not too bad, very pleasant indeed.

Don’t be fooled by the product images, the size is very deceptive and overpriced! It’s very smaller than your hand’s palm. Not worth 45 SAR for item this small! Will never buy it again
