94109-1 Lemon Eucalyptus Natural Insect Repellent, Pump Spray, Pack of 6, 4-Ounce

Not a mosquito repellant user or fan... but this worked well. Split the twin pack between 2 of us. Nice unusually mosi repellant smelling scent - seemed to be quite effective. It did needing interim topping up. I used a 3/4 bottle in about 2 weeks of heavy use. I Brough this and also the incognito brand and some plug in usb plus but I used this the most. We all seemed to like it. Would use again although it has increased significantly in price in last month since buying it. Which personally dissuades me to rush to buy it again. Purchased

Have been using this consistently since Nov 2025 to date in a tropical country, shared with the family for 2 weeks and still have half left. Used deet before, but prefer this deet free version and the smell is more natural. Family noticed a marked difference when they used it too. No bites at all and it stays effective for hours on the skin. On the occasion I've been caught out getting back to the apartment at night, it soothes the bites. I like to use it whilst sitting on the bed so any transfer gets on to the sheets and I'm protected all night. This little gem travelled across east Africa to west and I will only buy this now 🏆

up to now its working great, don't want to jinx it, but haven't seen any spiders in the house since I started using it, not even in the conservatory.

Being a mosquito "magnet" I really needed something highly effective and this product certainly fits the bill. I have had no bites since I started using it. It is light and non greasy. It does have quite a strong smell initially, but this fades and definitely worth it for the peace of mind of not being bitten.

Used in Caribbean to good effect

Like I suspect many, I had only vaguely heard of eucalyptus or oil of eucalyptus. After reading something about it and its many uses, and googling it, I wanted to buy some. I am not disappointed. It has an extraordinary and unusual aroma to it. It is apparently used in aromatherapy, and when squirted in the shower is proven to lower stress levels! How can something that smells so nice to us be so completely repellant to all insects, both flying and earthbound?This stuff is magic, and apparently eucalyptus only grows in Australia! I bought two bottles, one for the bathroom and the other for the living room. The first one is used when I shower, and the second to squirt on my nets to stop tiny flying insects - we have been inundated in recent summers. I might also squirt favoured guests. Completely intrigued with my new purchase.

Kept away the odd mozzie however I still got few bites on legs and by end of holiday I believed they started to like it. Husband allergic to deer so struggle getting a good one

Worked very well

This product smells amazing and fresh. I did not get bitten at all when using this and I’m around horses and in stables in the summer so this has really helped me. I now no longer go home covered in red bites. Great ingredients and this smell is fantastic

Excelente producto, el mejor repelente con larga duración.

Recommended by CDC. This contains oil of lemon eucalyptus. Don't confuse it with the products that contain Lemon eucalyptus oil. Oil of lemon eucalyptus and Lemon eucalyptus oil are different chemicals. Oil of lemon eucalyptus is effective while other is not.

Update 11/10/2014: Executive summary or tl;dr: When applied correctly, this works as well as DEET on mosquitoes. Approved by governmental agencies for use in malaria-prone areas. EXTREMELY SMELLY. Buy and use it with confidence. I have been using this product to repel mosquitoes exclusively for seven years. I became so confident in it that I volunteered to survey wildlife in New England bogs and swamps for six years running. I can't think of a better test than standing around in prime mosquito territory for four hours at a time just daring them to bite. It works every time and they don't get their free lunch. I also used it in Alaska, Kenya, and India and was NEVER BITTEN. This is the only non-DEET product that the International Travel Clinic at Dartmouth-Hitchcock recommends to those with destinations in malaria-prone countries, and oil of lemon eucalyptus is one of only two non-DEET chemicals approved by the CDC. There are many reviews here that say this product didn't work well for them. I wonder if it may be that some people are not applying it correctly. This is an oil, not an aerosol, and it must be applied like sunscreen. The pump is merely for convenience. You spray some on, and then rub it over the entire area to be protected. If you fail to cover everything, the mosquitoes will home in on the uncovered area and bite there instead. You must apply this to your skin UNDER your clothes! Mosquitoes can bite through jeans, so thin summer shirts and shorts are no barrier to them. You must also apply enough of the oil. If you stretch it too thin, it will not protect you. I cannot overstate how PUNGENT this stuff is; I wonder if some people don't apply enough because of the strong smell. You may have to try different amounts a few times until you find the amount that works right for you. Still, you don't have to slather on half a bottle or anything. The quickest I've ever gone through a supply was the one summer where I spent four days a week of swamp slogging with eight hours logged each day, and that only used one bottle. I'm pretty sure most people won't need nearly as much. You must re-apply the oil at regular intervals. The effectiveness will wear off long BEFORE the smell does, so many people may think they are still protected when they are not. Re-apply every four to six hours. As an oil, this stuff is somewhat water resistant, but you will have to reapply sooner if you are swimming. Another reason why people may think this isn't working is because it only keeps the mosquitoes from biting. It won't keep them from seeking you out. This is because it does not jam their long range radar, only the short range. A mosquito tracks potential prey using different senses when hunting for a potential lunch, than when it is looking for the safest place to bite an already discovered one. What happens with this stuff is they get close, and then get really confused. It's like they can see you until they get within a foot, and then you disappear. You can have several mosquitoes hovering around you, but none of them can find a good place to bite. They eventually give up and look for a less confusing blood source. Lemon Eucalyptus will NOT work for you if you primarily want to repel black flies, ticks, or chiggers. In my experience, it is only so-so in repelling deer flies. Finally, this stuff is AMAZINGLY SMELLY. In outdoor environments, this usually isn't a problem. But you really, really, really don't want to apply it before getting in a small enclosed space like an elevator or a car. Even outside, some people will hate the smell, others like it better than the DEET spray alternatives. It kinda smells like cough drops mixed with citronella. Unlike most repellents, the smell does not fade much with time. You are going to smell like this until you shower. If you wore clothes over it, they will smell of it until they are washed. But I think the smell is a small price to pay to stay bite-free. Original review from 2007: I am allergic to Deet. I've been the one at the back of the camping/hiking/fishing trips silently feeding millions of mosquitoes and other biting insects in misery for years- until now. I've tried everything on the market and was always disappointed, since all the deet free products I tried either triggered my allergies or just plain didn't work. This year, my doctor recommended I try the deet-free Repel, and I am sold. The difference is like night and day. We took it on a trip photographing butterflies and dragonflies in swamps in the Rio Grande Valley, TX, and came away bite free. Didn't work on chiggers, but I don't think it's supposed to. I'm not sure it lasts as long as the deet-containing products- my husband started using it exclusively as well, and he has to apply it more often than the Off or Cutter products he used to use. But I'm talking a drop from six hours of effectiveness to four, hardly a problem if you have room in your pack to carry the stuff. Also, it smells like Eucalyptus, which some people don't like, and you will smell of it for HOURS, even after it has lost it's effectiveness or until you take a shower.

We’ve been using this for about a year and so far it has been very effective at repelling mosquitoes.
