User questions & answers

Question:	What is the shelf life
Answer:	Whenever I have used any mosquito repellent with DEET,....at first, it works very well....no mosquitoes will land on me or bite, ....but after a few hours , they are back again. When I use Repel....I have not experienced this "fading" effect, even after working in my garden and sweating heavily for 4 or 5 hours later! I am guessing it will have a similar shelf life as the typical DEET products...at least several years. I have on'y been using it for one summer but I notice no difference in the product's smell or viscosity. It DOES have a strong lemon-eucalyptus odor,...which I love,....and this fragrance does not disappear after many hours of use. I believe it is this strong fragrance that keeps the insects away.
Question:	Can I use this repellent I bought three years ago? The bettle doesn't have an expiration date
Answer:	The sign at Sam's where I bought it tonight stated that it comes with a ship date and the bottle has a 5 year shelf life. Sound like you're good for at least another year or longer. The ones I bought were from December 2016 so they were already 6 months old.
Question:	Does this repel ticks
Answer:	I'm about to buy some because Consumer Reports, which actually tests and rates products, says YES. It's one of the top-rated products for effectiveness against both mosquitoes and ticks.http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/insect-repellent/buying-guide(I LOVE CR because of info like this. Between Amazon reviews (lots of user input) and Consumer Reports (systematic unbiased testing) I feel well-informed when I buy things and very rarely disappointed in purchases. (No, CR isn't paying me, I'm just a longtime subscriber.)
Question:	what are the other ingredients that make up 70% of this product
Answer:	According to the Repel website for this product, the 305-62 yellow link reveals the safety data sheet. This lists ingredients including 30 percent by weight as citriodiol (the lemon eucalyptus component) and 45 percent ethanol. The other 25 percent ingredients are either "proprietary or non-hazardous." So it could be 25 percent water, or 25 percent some unique and proprietary chemical we have no clue about. The safety data sheet does note that it does not contain ingredients known to the state of California to cause birth defects.

User questions & answers

Question:	What does it smell like
Answer:	It doesn't smell like anything thank heavens.
Question:	Can kids use it
Answer:	Repellents with up to 30% DEET are safe for kids over 2 months old. Over 30% DEET doesn't protect any better, but does last longer. So get something with 30% DEET and reapply every 2 hours.
Question:	Is this an aerosol or just a spray? Need to know if this is allowed in the bags for international travel please
Answer:	This is a spray. It is not a pressurized container. The product works very well. It takes very little bug juice to give you protection. I spray a little bit in the palm of my hand, then rub my hands together to give them a coating of the repellent. I then rub the areas I want to protect with my repellent coated hands. I may do this a couple of times a day based on how much I am sweating. Make sure you don't get it in your eyes or nose. This does irritate those areas.
Question:	Is 100% Deet dangerous
Answer:	According to the EPA, the answer is "No." (see http://www2.epa.gov/insect-repellents/deet ). Of course, all absolute claims should be taken with a grain of salt. And the state of NY has put out what seems to be a bit more reasoned assessment ( https://www.health.ny.gov/publications/2737/ ). That said, I have used (and continue to use) as close to 100% DEET products as I could find for over 40 years (30 years active duty infantry, 9 years in a wildlife agency, years of backpacking/hiking) and have developed no external or internal health issues. I use this because 1) many areas I operated in (Alaska, Thailand, Honduras, southern United States, Haiti, Panama, etc.) were almost literally unlivable if you couldn't ward off the insects and 2) because even more areas include insect-borne disease (Malaria, Dengue, West Nile, etc.). West Nile Virus activity exists in all but 6 of the lower 48 states and Dengue Fever (or its vector mosquito) is confirmed in Florida, Texas, Arizona, California and Hawaii. Lyme Disease and Encephalitis are also insect-borne diseases. As global warming evolves, other previously tropical insect-borne diseases will probably show up in the US. This is a cost-benefit analysis only you can do for you and your family. My answer rather arrogantly assumes you are talking about using this in the United States. If you are living/operating in more tropical areas outside the US, then it is really a matter of what type of personal insect control you are going to use, not whether to do so. Hope this at least helps reduce the ambiguity.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this home defense max? description says it is but photo shows only home defense and it's not the max
Answer:	I use it to spray nematodes. Works just fine.
Question:	What are the active ingredients in this product
Answer:	I am very satisfied do not be surprised at the first water valve turn on as it may leak for a few seconds. Mine no longer does this. Depending on your water pressure you can spray upwards about nine to ten feet.I can reach the roof line of my ranch style home.
Question:	do you have to apply after every rainstorm ???? can get very expensive
Answer:	The lowest is 1 teaspoon and it goes up to 8 ounces.
Question:	Any way to revive the sprayer after it stops working
Answer:	When these work, they are awesome. Read the instructions for you chemical, determine how much concentrate to add per gallon of water. Fill the container with any amount of concentrate, set the dial. For example, if you are to add 3 oz. of concentrate per gallon, just put the concentrate into the container, set the dial to 3 oz. and spray. The sprayer will suck out the concentrate mixing it with the water at the concentration that you set on the dial, in this case, 3 oz. per gallon. Problem is, these are a little flimsy, So I suggest that you put water into the container the first time to make sure it works right, then play around with the different concentration levels. Set it to the highest concentration level and it will suck the container empty pretty quick, that way you'll be sure it's syphoning.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would this product be effect in cold weather
Answer:	I found that I needed it most in cold weather! It did a great job keeping bugs away.
Question:	How or why is this better or mire effective than just usinf peppermint essential oils
Answer:	Hi! Great Question. First of all of Mighty Mints Peppermint only comes directly from the farmer. Most essential oils, especially on Amazon, are either highly diluted, manufactured synthetic oils or a foreign oil which has a long history of being contaminated with harmful substances. The prices for Peppermint oil on Amazon is proof of this as the market price of Pure Peppermint would not allow a seller to sell 4 oz of Peppermint for less than $25 without losing money. Also, with the other Mighty Mint ingredients, the Peppermint smell is enhanced to improve its strength and effectiveness. Please message us directly for more information.
Question:	how many ounces of peppermint oil are actually in this product
Answer:	The label only reads: Active ingredient: Pure Origin Northwest Peppermint. Other ingredients: Water, non-toxic emulsifiers. There are no percentage amounts given for any of the ingredients. It’s STRONG, seems 2 work. I was pleasantly surprised. Natural, non toxic that actually works. It does not kill the ants. They really do not like mint scent.
Question:	What are the ingredients
Answer:	Active Ingredients: Pure Origin Peppermint Oil Other Ingredients: Water, Non-Toxic Emulsifiers

User questions & answers

Question:	So if im wearing nylon (a synthetic), i can't spray this on the clothing
Answer:	It came with a cardboard sheath slipped over the blade but this was just for shipping. I put some duct tape over the cardboard and am now using that when I store it. I don't know if a bespoke sheath is made for it.
Question:	does this work for fleas

Repellent Active Ingredients

Although using any repellent is most important, choosing the right active ingredient for your individual needs can make repelling bugs a painless process. Consider the length of time you’ll be outside

and the type of activity you’re planning.

• Deet has been used in the U.S. for more than 50 years and continues to be an effective option for consumers. DEET-based products are recommended for those who plan to spend longer periods of time outdoors in more heavily infested conditions.
• Picaridin (pronounced “pick-CARE-a-den”) became available in the U.S. in 2005. Clean, odorless and effective, this active ingredient provides the long-lasting, effective protection consumers have come to expect from DEET in a formula with a light, clean feel.
• Oil of lemon eucalyptus is the only plant-based active ingredient recommended by the CDC. Derived from oil obtained from the leaves of the Eucalyptus citriodora tree, this active ingredient repels mosquitoes and deer ticks for up to six hours.
