Was going to the Dominican Republic and EVERYONE mentioned being bitten. Wouldn't say I particularly suffer with bites and stings abroad but always get a few. Decided I'd look for a repellent containing more Deet than usually found at Boots. Had a quick look on Amazon and came across this product. Had initially checked out Repel 100, but this is real heavy duty stuff more suitable to backpacking in a jungle and there were a few warnings about melting nail varnish and taking the colour off shoes. Decided to try Repel 55, which turned out to be perfect. Says that one 120ml bottle will last 4 weeks. Used it generously every night for 2 weeks and had plenty left. Expected to be suffocated by strong chemical smell (which I would have put up with if successful) but was surprised to find there was barely an odour. Huge success with this product. Didn't get bitten once, despite spotting mosquitos in the room and spending most evenings sitting out at dusk and evenings dining by the beach. My fellow travellers did get bitten, so began to borrow my Repel 55 and also became bite free. Would highly recommend this product.

It's fair to say that I am a mosquito magnet, so I spent a lot of time researching DEET-based (and other natural) products before settling on this one. Scientists still recommend DEET as the only genuinely effective mosquito repellent, so if you're travelling to a country where malaria and dengue fever are a problem, you should definitely be looking for something with DEET in it.
Saying that "I love Deet" might be a bit of an exaggeration; however, one thing's for sure, I love being mosquito-proof. I've just used this in Cambodia for 2 weeks, and can say that I've been unbitten by mosquitoes whenever I've worn it. I found it particularly useful for my feet, which were exposed in sandals whilst the rest of me was covered by long clothing: the result was not a single mossie-bite on my feet! (Ants however, seemed completely happy to bite me with or without DEET.)
I was pleasantly surprised that this wasn't really greasy to apply, and dried without any noticeable effects on my skin; there was no strong chemical smell either ... so for these reasons, this DEET spray is great. It certainly worked for the "hours" I was out, usually about 3 or 4 after it was applied.
The bottle itself is made of a robust plastic, so I had no leakage problems despite it being bashed around in my rucksack. The spray nozzle didn't drip or leak after use either.
All in all, a well-designed and very effective product for the traveller heading off for mosquito-infested areas.

Took this little gem to Indonesia, stayed a month, did not receive one bite! This is as indispensible as your passport. It does exactly what it says etc.
