Sawyer Products SP565 Premium Insect Repellent with 20% Picaridin, 1-Quart Lotion Pump Dispenser,White

I've spent years as the designated "mosquito magnet" in my family - I can be covered head to toe while others remain untouched, and I'll still end up with dozens of bites! After trying countless repellents with disappointing results, Sawyer Products 20% Picaridin has been nothing short of miraculous for me.This spray is seriously the only mosquito repellent that consistently protects me. A thorough application before heading outdoors actually keeps those persistent bloodsuckers away, something I had almost given up hope on experiencing. The protection lasts for hours too - I can spend an entire evening outdoors without needing to reapply constantly.What I particularly appreciate is that unlike DEET-based products, this doesn't have that harsh chemical smell and doesn't leave a greasy, sticky residue on my skin. It applies clear and dries quickly, and doesn't damage my synthetic clothing or watch bands like some other repellents have.The continuous spray feature makes application quick and even, ensuring I don't miss spots. The two-pack is perfect - one stays in my backpack for hiking trips while the other lives by the back door for impromptu evening gatherings.For fellow mosquito magnets who have tried everything without success, I can't recommend Sawyer Picaridin spray highly enough. It's genuinely changed my outdoor experience from constant swatting and itching to actually enjoying nature!

This stuff works if you hike or fish , and have to wade through weeds and brush!And you no those ticks and other blood thirsty creatures are out to get ya! Then you should give this stuff a try!A hiker buddy of mine told me about it I love to fish and hunt! Then you no how they are!It’s worth your time to try it and see if it works for you as good as it has for me! My buddy has done the eastern and west hikes gone for weeks!This works for him works for me! Give it a try!

I love the product, definitely works great against pesky bugs. I order it regularly, BUT packaging from the company really needs to improve.this is the second time I’ve received bottles where the caps have been loose. This is the first time I’ve received with it spilled out of bottle. This product is too expensive to to have waste. Seems like caps should be able to be secured properly for transit

For me, thus has got to be the best bug spray for my skin and clothes. I don’t have a reaction to it and works for quite a while. It was recommended to me via a family member and I’m so glad I ordered it. This is my main go to spray. I reorder every summer!

Esto ya nunca va a faltar en mi casa, ha sido el mejor repelente que he usado para mis niños! Vivo en el Caribe y los mosquitos son un grave problema y con el calor y el sudor los otros repelentes los tenía que reaplicar con mucha frecuencia, pero es increíble lo mucho que dura el efecto de este. 100% recomendado!!

This stuff is awesome. We purchased some waterfront land on the ocean in Va. and have an off-grid camp set up while we slowly build and upgrade the property into our eventual retirement home/farm. The tick, mosquito, fly and gnat populations in this area are insane. I despise ticks especially since one tried to kill me by infecting me with tick fever when I was 5 years old and another gave my son Lymes Disease and put him in intensive care when he was also 5. Both of us were sent to John's Hopkins as 5 year olds because of ticks.I also hate bugspray. It's expensive, the cans of spray don't last long enough and if you leave them sit they'll eventually become empty on their own so stocking up doesn't help much. I started looking for another solution and in 2021 I bought 1 quart of this Picaridin cream. I'm still using the same quart in 2024. Full disclosure, I was the only one in my family that had been using it because everyone else is lazy. You can't just spray yourself real quick and be done. You need to put it on like sunscreen but it doesn't take that much. I'm 6'-2" and 240lbs. I use maybe 2 1/2 squirts of the pump to cover my feet, legs, arms, neck and head. I even rub a little through my hair. I spray my shirt with some form of DEET before I put it on. That's it. It lasts pretty much all day, except the mosquitoes will get me through my shirt later in the day because the DEET will wear off. My family will go through several cans of bugspray to my 2 squirts of Picaridin. The last trip out they finally realized that bugspray actually kinda sucks. So I'm on here buying another quart because I don't want to run out.I bought some cheap rubber gloves from Harbor Freight that I've started wearing when I put on the cream so I'm not eating it off my fingers later in the day. It doesn't wash off really easy which is a good thing, especially if you are a sweater or get in the water. Getting in the water will deminish it's effectiveness but I think it sticks on to you better than spray without a doubt. This stuff also dries quickly, the feeling of it on your skin is much more comfortable than bugspray and it doesn't smell nearly as bad.Mosquitoes absolutely hate it. I've watched them turn complete 180's as soon as they make contact with me. Gnats will land on you but they will not bite. They can still be pretty annoying if you are fishing at night because they'll swarm and tickle you but they do the same with all the other repellants. It repels chiggers and ticks great but if you are spending time in the places I do, you still need to check your underwear band and the other nooks and crannies down in that area where you didn't apply anything.The value this stuff brings is undeniable. $50 for a quart that could last you years as opposed to an $8 can of OFF that will last 1 person a couple days at best and that is assuming you use it up before it dries up on its own, unused.That's it. It is good stuff. In my opinion, and I think I would know, it is more effective, last longer, feels cleaner and is way more affordable then the other altermatives. If you get into the outdoors a lot, buy a quart. You won't regret it.

Lemon Eucalyptus Oil and 98% Deet are my go to repellents.I gave Sawyer Picaridin plenty of opportunity's from all night photo ops in the forest to marshy wildlife sanctuary's and ADV motorcycle camping in the high desert, this product is no longer part of my kit.
