Review: Picky Husband, He Loved it Highly Recommend - This works great and can be applied evenly to your skin. Odor free and no leftover Bug repellent yuck stank, no shower required after use. Highly recommend and will definitely buy next season.
Review: No Bite - This stuff works!! Went to a 8pm adult backyard cookout, I slathered this stuff on, everyone was slapping themselves even though they had the candles, bug lights & firepit going, I didn’t get bit not once!!! I told them to buy this stuff cause it works. I only applied it once I thought I would have to apply it again while I was there. Read the instructions, it will tell you the best results. I bought some for my SIL, he like to be outside a lot.

A: since I cannot seeum and did not feelum, I believe it does work!

A: yes

A: Oh no!  Yes, definitely exchange through Amazon.  We apologize for the inconvenience.
