Murphy's Naturals Mosquito & Tick Bug Repellent Spray, Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus for Skin + Outdoor Gear, DEET-Free, 4 Ounce Pump, 1-Pack

Item I have used before. It definitely works. I live in the woods literally. I take my dogs on hikes. I live in tick heaven Alabama. It's a strong smell, I suggest you spray your clothes. Put some on your hands and apply that way around neck, hairline, waist and arms if your not going to wear a long sleeve shirt. Actually have put it on my hands and rubbed it on the dogs. You can't get all the ticks, & mosquitoes, but it cuts back a lot.

I live in the Midwest & walk my dogs early every morning in the woods. Mosquitos vary from small gnat sized to giant 3/4” their bites leave large lumps. I spray this on all exposed skin including my hands to smooth on face and backs of hands. I may get one bite per week if even that. It’s safe, nontoxic essential oils that protect your precious skin and health. Highly, highly recommend!

Way too small my fault tho I didn't notice how many Oz I was gonna get. Imma try it now... hopefully has a good smell

Ok, I basically never leave reviews, because I just don't have the time. But knowing how much I rely on others' reviews to help me find things that work, I feel it my duty to share.I bought this a month ago for my 3- and 4-year-old kids, especially. We live in DC (which is a swampy, humid, mosquito-breeding steamroom in the summer), and the mosquitoes are just awful and relentless. My kids love to play outside, both at their daycare and at home, but they've just been getting eaten alive, and my daughter gets really bad reaction and swelling when she gets bitten. It's been so bad that, prior to using Murphy's Repellant, they'd only stay in the yard a couple minutes before coming inside, covered in painful mosquito bites. I'd been using a different repellant (Sallye Ander No-Bite-Me Bug Repellent Cream - 2 oz, Natural, Safe for Kids & Infants, Anti-Itch, Moisturizing, Lemongrass & Mint Scent), which smelled pretty good but was sadly not very effective. Back to the drawing board, I did more research and found Murphy's. The reviews seemed promising, but honestly, I've tried so many non-DEET repellants over the years and none of them have worked very well and are always a disappointment. So I didn't have high hopes for this one.Well, my kids' skin doesn't lie! This stuff has worked shockingly well! We apply it in the morning around 8 am before heading to their daycare (they spend a lot of time outdoors there at the on-site playgrounds). It is effective up through pick up, which is around 4:30/5pm. Then if they want to play outside when we get home, we do have to reapply one time, but that will last them the rest of the evening. It's like...night and day. When my daughter has it on, she plays happily outside. When she doesn't, if she plays outside anyway, she comes in crying in 5 minutes from 5-10 painful mosquito bites. My son doesn't get so upset by bites, but I can see them on his skin when he gets them, and since we started using this, he very rarely has bites on him.Here's a quick pro/con list.PRO:-WORKS (at least for us)-Effective even in humid, mosquito-swarming environments-Easy to apply, and after several minutes, it soaks in completely and leaves no greasy or unpleasant residueCONS:-the smell is rather strong when applying and for about 10 minutes after application (but it does dissipate)-it's a bit pricey (but worth it, since it works!)I hope this review is helpful to other folks looking for EFFECTIVE, non-DEET, non-greasy mosquito repellant!

Our family spends a lot of time outside poolside in the summer. We couldn't do this without using this spray. It has helped us reduce mosquito biting to nearly none. Love it!

Not sure is this works as is supposed to because most of it leaks from the bottle and does not come out of the sprayer. Not sure what is wrong with the bottle. I will put liquid in my own spray bottle and update once that works.

This works 100%!!! Will be buying again!! Finally a bug spray that works. We live in NC in the Sandhills

Love the smell and the results. Use it with its companion repellent incense sticks and their adorable green holders. Like it all.
