Burt's Bees All Natural Outdoor Herbal Insect Repellent 4 oz.

Few years ago, I was sting by yellow bee multiple places on my body while visiting a friend who lives in country. She had Burt's Bees Insect repellent and spayed on my right away. It is an amazing product as I was pain free in no time. I was shocked with the results and highly recommend this product to everyone. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I recently spent a month working in, literally, the middle of the Amazon. To give you an idea of how remote: the nearest town was two hours away from our site. I was living on a floating house on the river, next to the thick vegetation of the flooded forest. Know what that means? A ha-yuge number of multiple species of mosquitos. Insect repellent is a necessity, especially because some of those crazy things carry serious diseases in that area. Most of my coworkers were using Off and other harsh products that contain high percentages of deet and other nasty chemicals. I stuck with my BB Herbal Insect Repellent and not only did it repel most of the mosquitos (it is nearly impossible to repel all mosquitos there; they are just vicious), but I also love the smell, strong as it is. Soooooo much better than the traditional chemically stuff. So, I did suffer a few bites (that's why four stars instead of five), but hey, I was in the middle of the rainforest.

This product seemed to work ok at repelling mosquitos, but I'm not quite sure, because I was too busy swatting at other bugs to notice. As soon as I put this product on my kids and got us all outside, bees began to swarm around us! Within minutes, we must have had all the bees in the neighborhood surrounding our heads. They were extremely attracted to the scent of this product, although it does have a nice, lemony smell. I love, love, love every BB's product I've tried, but this one didn't cut it, unfortunately.

i have tried many products on the market. some great for ticks or flee or even mosquitoes. often they burn the skin. And none of them could get rid of the yellow flyes. Yellow flyes can attack non stop and will follow you to bite you non stop!!! They were after my dogs during walks, biting them around the eyes . It was a nightmare. And i did not want to hide inside my house from may to july or august (until they are gone) . When I found your product I thought , "the smell is strong but not bad". And for the first time in years, i finally could walk my dogs in the intercoastal of NC without beeing attack once !!! Yellow flyes are still around , but really don't like the smell of the products because they don't come that close , and don't bite me anymore. They were after my 2 dogs, so I sprayed some in my hand and rub it on their head back and legs . My dogs sneezed a little , but never got bitten again. THANK YOU ! !!!

I bought this several years ago to use on a trip to Thailand. I had high hopes for it as it's herbal. I only used it once and have never touched it again. It doesn't spray out nicely. It kind of just streams out and it's too oily for my liking.
