Writing as the primary target for flying nasties the globe over,I was looking for a product to bring chemichal warfare to those silent assassins,that have hampered many a holiday.This product works,well it did for me.I used it it in very warm weather in the Canadian Rockies,surrounded by trees and all things green.It's true I had a bucket on my head like Ned Kelly,but I was lathered up elsewhere.Result,no bites what so ever over a two week holiday.It rubs in well,goes far,smells fine.At last a holiday to remember for the right reasons.
