Review: Sawyer Picaridin Bug Repellent – Should’ve Used This First - We went to Belize and got absolutely eaten alive by mosquitoes at first. I tried another brand with picaridin and it honestly didn’t help at all—we were still covered in bites. Once we switched to Sawyer, the difference was immediate. This stuff actually works, and I wish we had started with it from day one. It’s marketed as non-greasy, but in my opinion it does feel a little greasy—and I think that’s what makes it work so well. The bugs stayed away, including no-see-ums, which was huge for us. No strong smell, no fragrance, and it didn’t bother our skin at all. We used it daily for outdoor activities, walking around, and evenings outside, and it held up really well. One thing to note: if you’re traveling somewhere buggy like Belize, a single bottle will only last about 3–4 days for two people, so plan accordingly and pack extra. Bottom line: If mosquitoes love you, skip the trial-and-error and go straight to Sawyer. It works.
Review: Tired of buying 100's of cans of DEET. Buy 1 quart of this instead. - This stuff is awesome. We purchased some waterfront land on the ocean in Va. and have an off-grid camp set up while we slowly build and upgrade the property into our eventual retirement home/farm. The tick, mosquito, fly and gnat populations in this area are insane. I despise ticks especially since one tried to kill me by infecting me with tick fever when I was 5 years old and another gave my son Lymes Disease and put him in intensive care when he was also 5. Both of us were sent to John's Hopkins as 5 year olds because of ticks. I also hate bugspray. It's expensive, the cans of spray don't last long enough and if you leave them sit they'll eventually become empty on their own so stocking up doesn't help much. I started looking for another solution and in 2021 I bought 1 quart of this Picaridin cream. I'm still using the same quart in 2024. Full disclosure, I was the only one in my family that had been using it because everyone else is lazy. You can't just spray yourself real quick and be done. You need to put it on like sunscreen but it doesn't take that much. I'm 6'-2" and 240lbs. I use maybe 2 1/2 squirts of the pump to cover my feet, legs, arms, neck and head. I even rub a little through my hair. I spray my shirt with some form of DEET before I put it on. That's it. It lasts pretty much all day, except the mosquitoes will get me through my shirt later in the day because the DEET will wear off. My family will go through several cans of bugspray to my 2 squirts of Picaridin. The last trip out they finally realized that bugspray actually kinda sucks. So I'm on here buying another quart because I don't want to run out. I bought some cheap rubber gloves from Harbor Freight that I've started wearing when I put on the cream so I'm not eating it off my fingers later in the day. It doesn't wash off really easy which is a good thing, especially if you are a sweater or get in the water. Getting in the water will deminish it's effectiveness but I think it sticks on to you better than spray without a doubt. This stuff also dries quickly, the feeling of it on your skin is much more comfortable than bugspray and it doesn't smell nearly as bad. Mosquitoes absolutely hate it. I've watched them turn complete 180's as soon as they make contact with me. Gnats will land on you but they will not bite. They can still be pretty annoying if you are fishing at night because they'll swarm and tickle you but they do the same with all the other repellants. It repels chiggers and ticks great but if you are spending time in the places I do, you still need to check your underwear band and the other nooks and crannies down in that area where you didn't apply anything. The value this stuff brings is undeniable. $50 for a quart that could last you years as opposed to an $8 can of OFF that will last 1 person a couple days at best and that is assuming you use it up before it dries up on its own, unused. That's it. It is good stuff. In my opinion, and I think I would know, it is more effective, last longer, feels cleaner and is way more affordable then the other altermatives. If you get into the outdoors a lot, buy a quart. You won't regret it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good bug spray- Great for humid climate
*by V***! on November 20, 2025*

Pretty good bug spray. I used this when I went to Costa Rica and it worked well. I did still get some bites but I found I had significantly less in comparison to people using other bug sprays. I think it was pretty affective for a non deet bug spray. It also was travel size so I could take it as a carry on. I had to use it pretty frequently and the two bottles almost lasted my whole trip which was about 3 weeks. Not oily at all and the smell is neutral. I liked it.
