Burt's Bees Herbal Insect Repellent 4 Floz

Pros: lemon scent, works well for 2-3 hours, no DEET, seems to heal bites
Cons: oily, dispenser jams, not as long lasting as other insect repellents

As I established in my review of Natrapel, bugs like me. They really like me. They really, really like me. I, on the other hand, cannot stand the little pests. But I also tend to get lazy about my beauty regimen, which basically revolves around staying ...

Pros: All natural ingredients; safe even for children and pets!
Cons: Oily of course (see ingredients). Be cautious with nice clothing

I think we all have concerns about being attacked by bugs, and some of us are more susceptible than others. I also have concerns about my dogs and cats being bitten. My elderly chow chow (now 15 years old) was really being hassled by flies, so I was...

Pros: It works, it's natural
Cons: smell is not all that great- rather oily.

I recently purchased Burt’s Bees All Natural Herbal Insect Repellent after realizing that our bottle of Off Skintastic no longer worked. We were using it correctly, but I guess since it was about 2 years old, it had done its deed. So, I was wanting ...

Pros: Effective, pleasant smell, formula seemed to last, 100% natural ingredients, portable.
Cons: Greasy formula, the pump doesn't spray in a fine mist & "spits" the repellent out.

I bought this product because I live in a town that has a major mosquito and tick breeding area. In fact, a lot of people here call the mosquito the "State Bird". I've been voraciously bitten (bugs like me) and am extremely sensitive to insect venom ...

Pros: smells nice, works to an extent
Cons: hard to apply, oily

Herbal Insect Repellent is a mostly natural alternative to OFF insect repellent, and the like. I especially liked the fact that it didn't come in an aerosol spray bottle, which really gets the chemicals flying, and you breathe them right in. The ...

Pros: nicer smell than most insect repellents. Seems effective
Cons: VERY oily!

My husband calls me a "Poster child for mosquitos". They love me for some reason. The times I've used it I haven't gotten bit.

Pros: Pesticide-free, no chemical smell, safe
Cons: Can be a little messy to apply

I have Italian greyhounds which have very short hair and can be quite sensitive to chemicals. Mosquitoes were such pests that we weren't able to play outside in the evening. This product works well and is safe for pets. It makes their fur extremely shiny (although the dogs are not fond of the smell). It is effective at repelling mosquitoes. We use it frequently and have recommended it to others.
