Lately the weather has been teasing us a bit. Some days it's super nice out, others rainy, cold and icky. On those rare nice days I try to take the kids out to play in the yard. Usually the kids are out riding bikes with their friends and I sit and...
Pros: Contains Deet, protect against mosquitoes, fleas, ticks and West Nile Virus! Cons: Aerosol can.
Living in the deep south mosquitoes have always been a part of outdoor life. However, with the recent outbreaks of the West Nile Virus in recent years I have started to think of using a mosquito repellent more often and in a different way. It not only ...
Pros: It does stop some mosquitos from biting. Cons: It will leave you feeling greasy, odor is awful, and the taste is sickening.
For the past couple of months, I have been trying most insect repellents found on the supermarket shelves. Living in muggy south Florida, I have found the mosquitos here quite amazing. Actually I have never seen so many mosquitos before at once,...
Pros: Keeps me bug free. Cons: Bad smell. Product can be harmful
Through the years I’ve known people who never get as much as one mosquitoes bite. I think the mosquitoes can smell my blood when I’m around. I’m one of many people who have to use the Deep Woods OFF product. I can go outside this time of ...
Pros: It works most of the time. Cons: Hazardous to your health; very difficult to read the label.
UPDATE: I bought a new Off! while in the Everglades recently. Perhaps the mosquitoes there are immune to insect repellent, but this product did not work on these insects. I do acknowledge that we were in the woods and in a swampy area, but according to...
Pros: Even when insects are swarming, it keeps them from having a snack on my body. Cons: Expensive
Deet is an active ingredient in Off products that repels mosquitoes, ticks, biting flies, and a list of other annoying and potentially dangerous insects. The West Nile Virus and Lyme Disease are to be taken very seriously. WHICH OFF ...
Several years ago, I deployed to Haiti. For those of you geographically challenged, you'll find this country in the Caribbean. For those of you severely geographically challenged, it is about 300 miles southeast of Florida. So, let me just tell you,...
Pros: One application is sufficient for several hrs. of protection Cons: None I have found
When taking trips to the mountains whether it be for the day or a weekend of camping, on my list of essentials is Deep Woods Off Insect Repellent. I remember my Mother using the original Off on me, every since I was a child. My memories then were,...
Pros: Repels insects Cons: DEET is dangerous and smelly
Deep Wood's Off has a chemical known as DEET in it, and DEET does repel insects like the pesky mosquito. It also causes life threatening seizures (as seen on TV) in some children and is thought to have other negative side affects as well. The...
Pros: Greaseless, effective, reasonably pleasant scent Cons: Contains DEET (an unfortunate side effect of choosing a repellent that works...)
I have always been a mosquito magnet, and I've tried every insect repellent on the market.
When I was first married, we once rented a cabin on a lake that was only accessible by boat. So romantic, I thought. That was until I discovered that...
It took about a week in Venice before the mosquitoes began to overwhelm me. Coming out in massive droves whenever the canals shifted in depth, they snuck into every inch of the palazzo and began to devour me whole. My solution? I first turned to...
Pros: Keeps all kinds of bugs away Cons: allergic reactions to DEET can occur
I first used OFF insect repellent 15 years ago while at a Girl Scout retreat (Do Girl Scouts even still exist?). We went camping deep into the woods and stayed at an old country farmhouse. It was mid July in the South and the bugs were everywhere!! ...
Pros: It doesn't last forever Cons: Attracts more mosquitos than it repels
If you are looking to attract a large number of mosquitos, just cover yourself with Deep Woods Off and watch them swarm to you. I have tried several different brands of insect repellents, but none have attracted nearly as many mosquitos as Deep...
