This product is definitely better than spraying deet on your skin. The smell is appealing (vanilla) --- but living along the march and brackish river waters of the St Simon Sound of the Georgia coast, I found it only "somewhat" of a repellent on gnats. I will continue to use, but a little disappointed and have reset my expectations! Also, didn't realize there is no spray with this bottle and assumed with the reference as a "Bug Soother Natural Insect Repellent Spray..." (------ this bottle was actually a refill bottle ---- my fault)
The product itself is great. I love the larger bottle, our last one lasted us forever. People always ask me "how did you get a size this big?!"
With that being said, this does NOT come with a spray nozzle. Unfortunately, I threw out our old bottle before this one came and now I'm left with a bottle with no nozzle. So, before purchasing, you should know that this is intended to be a "refill" replacement.
***Update - After contacting the company, they sent me a nozzle at no cost, so I’m bumping the review up to 4*’s.
This product smells like vanilla and works to repel mosquitoes. YOu have to make sure every centimeter of skin is covered. If you miss any, the mosquitoes will still find you.
It's nice to smell like vanilla instead of a toxic cloud of repellant. It's nice to know you're washing off something that won't destroy the environment.
Love the smell! It works wonderful for the gnats & no-see-ums... not so much on mosquitos or those darn horse flys. Since the ingredients are natural (& it says you can..) I will even spray it on my dogs when it’s buggy out and they don’t mind how it feels or the odor. It really helps keep the little flying buggies off of you! Plus... again the smell is lovely.
This stuff works amazingly ANF smells great. I like that it is all natural. I've sprayed it on my feet ANF gone barefoot to a bonfire with no bug bites. I really enjoy using this product. I put it on once, and a friend asked what perfume I was wearing! Sooooo much better than chemical sprays!

Love love love this stuff! Of course when the mosquitoes are running thick it’s best to use a deer based product but in the spring and fall this works great for me and my children (2 and 5). This really is a good buy for the money. I looked at recreating it and the cost would have been higher.
This stuff works great and smells great. You need to reapply often, but it doesn't seem like a hassle when it smells good and doesn't leave a mess. The cap was slightly unscrewed so some of the product was lost to the inside of the Amazon box. That was a bit annoying. I emailed the company and they said they were ensuring that doesn't happen to future orders, but who knows.
We saw this on the news when we traveled to Iowa. A local company that was starting to ship this internationally. Found a small bottle at the local farm store and tried it. This was is used for refills. It works well and is all natural. It does have a odor but not bad and disappears in a short amount of time. Would highly recommend.
We use this to refill the smaller bottles. We have several vacation rentals where mosquitoes can be problematic. Our guests love this product, it does the trick and much more pleasant than the DEET sprays
This product is completely magical in its ability to repel gnats and other bugs. We have been using it for a outlet years now and have been 100% satisfied each and every time we use it. As a family that is outdoor daily during the spring, summer, and fall, we get plenty of use of the product. Bug Soother also smells wonderfully so it is not a concern getting everyone to spray it on.
