Trek 50 100ml Triple Pack 50% DEET + Free 60ml Bottle Strongest Insect Repellent

I always end up getting bitten on holiday. Recently went to Thailand and took some of 5is based on recommendations and also on the reviews on here. I applied this everyday before my sunscreen (as per WHO guidelines) waited ten mins for it to absorb which is a minor faff and then applied sunscreen. I did not get bitten once in the two weeks we were there which is a first for me. My wife on,y got bitten one day when she didn’t apply any to her legs.I will definitely (and have already) recommending this to friends and family and this will now be a staple I’m my holiday kit.Yes it’s a little greasy at first, I never noticed a bad small (it’s way better than the aerosol sprays I’ve used in the past) but you can’t always have your cake and eat it, plus once I have sunscreen on (which is greasy lol) you don’t really notice.Easy five stars from me.

I don't love this substance HOWEVER having used insect repellent for many years, I have yet to find anything as effective as this "foul" substance, whether it be in Costa Rica, Panama, Sri Lanka, Southern Europe, Norwegian forest (yes they have some nasty little devils there) or the ultimate heathen biter, the West Coast of Scotland - this stuff helps to prevent getting bitten by insects wherever you might visit - it doesn't prevent you getting bitten with the occasional one getting through, but it really does work very well and so 5 stars.Downsides? Yes:+ Smell+ Texture after application+ Removed the numerals off every camera I have ever ownedUsed it for years and with a journey to equatorial rainforest in a little over 2 weeks, three bottles of this will be the first thing into my bag.

Excellent at preventing bites, but be careful where you stand when applying it, as it stripped the varnish off an internal wooden floor when dripped! I now go outside to apply. DOnt get it on your carpets. Very chemical in smell and feel, which makes me worry about the effect on my skin, but it does the job and I usually get bitten very badly.

I bought this for a recent trip to the Dominican Republic and am glad i did. There were a lot of Mosquito's where ever we went.This stuff is oily and doesn't smell to nice, but that unfortunately is the nature of products with DEET in them. However for effectiveness against the blood sucking pests (Vampires not included) this really is good stuff.We bought some Jungle Formula from the Airport a couple of years ago and one bottle was nearly as much as the price of these three, and it was awful. My partner was feasted upon every night. Not so with this however. the only time my partner got bitten was when she decided she didn't want to wear this stuff. I wore it mainly in the evenings and managed to not get bit at all.

This is the stuff that works...I take six bottles for my six month stay in Sri Lanka ...and it stops me getting bitten and I am chocolate to mosquitoes . Lasts for hours .Just make sure you wash your hands after applying ,as it will etch the surface of your sunglasses . Feet works ,end of argument ..when there's dengue around you need something you can use with confidence ...this is it and I can say ,I,be had no side effects or issues with it .It's been around for over 50 years ,so if there were any health issues they would have arisen by now .

Purchased items in January and used only one and half bottles after a three week trip around Thailand. Myself and my partner applied once in the morning and once at night. We never got bit when using it. My partner then decided to test out on night not using it and guess what bitten! I shall be buying more for all my travels now. Good quality product and you don’t need to use much. I have sensitive skin, t did have a very slight reaction by causing redness which lasted for about ten minutes but I rather have than that bites all over me.

Only thing is the spray has a mind of its own and backfires. Best spray into hands and rub in where required. As for efficacy, we had quite a few but maybe it was a more mosquito friendly place than usual.

Easy to apply and effective (worn daily for 2 weeks in Thailand). Does warm the skin a bit when first applied but not noticeable after a minute or so. Otherwise no reaction for either adults or my 9 year old daughter.Avoid the top half of face as it does sting if sweat runs it into your eyes.
