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
Answer:	Yes. I bought mine for $14.95 and tried it right away to see if it fit properly. It didn't fit perfectly, but It will do the job. It is a sharp blade. My pole is the 30 ft.pole.
Question:	Does it repel ticks
Answer:	The best one I found was the Sun Joe max extension less than 16ft. 16ft with a motor on end is challenging enough to place in a particular area. Good luck.
Question:	Can I use for 5 year old
Answer:	Made in China

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it work on hay mites
Answer:	It is only contains 15% DEET and from what I read, repellents with 50% DEET are recommended. The label reads that it repels mosquitos, gnats, ticks, biting flies, chiggers and fleas. I checked Deep Woods Off and it has 25% DEET and doesn't list hay mites on the label as being repelled. Good luck! Those mites sound fairly awful.
Question:	Is there an unscented option
Answer:	Not that I have seen. I would love that. This is the best available I could find. The scent is slight sweet like cotton candy but it goes on dry and after the initial spray you can't really smell it much.
Question:	where is this product made
Answer:	I don't see exactly where it is manufactured but it does say "Sold by SC Johnson and sons Inc. Racine, WI USA ". I can tell you it works well. I work nights and I am outside almost the entire night. I wear shorts and spray this on my legs. It has a slight sweet scent almost like cotton candy. It goes on dry and is not greasy or oily at all. I really don't like insect sprays that are oily and smell like Deet.
Question:	Does it smell
Answer:	Yes it has a fresh kind of fruity scent. I believe they make a non-scented one though.

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:	Can the top screw off so it can be refilled
Answer:	For the 1oz bottle I just received, the top is clamped on, not screwed on - you can probably take it off by force but I doubt you can put it back on.
Question:	Do you apply this to the skin or will it work if you spray the edges of your clothes
Answer:	I spray my hat, shirt and legs. Seems to work really well with no skin reaction. Try a small area on your leg to be sure that you are not allergic to DEET. Bob P.
Question:	how long does a 1 oz. bottle last
Answer:	Carol,This product is very strong so I use as little as possible and it still works great! As far as how long it will last, depends whether you're backpacking and out in the elements all day or if you have a camper and only use it when you go out.
Question:	Can you use this high of a concentration with sunscreen
Answer:	I spray this on my legs and arms on top of my sunscreen and it has been effective so far.From www.deetonline.org"The effectiveness of both insect repellents and sunscreens are dramatically reduced when users apply them at the same time. Decide which is your top priority at the moment-protection from insects or from the sun-then apply either a repellent or sunscreen, plus use other measures to reduce insect and sun exposure. Some manufacturers produce a specially formulated product that combines both DEET-based insect repellent and sunscreen. These should be used with the frequency of repellents, where you re-apply only as needed to exposed skin areas.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the expiration date? I can’t find it listed on the container.

A: When stored properly and not exposed to extreme temperatures, Repel products will last for several years. If you notice any change in odor or appearance or damage to the packaging, replace the repellent with a new product.

Q: Is DEET safe to use on children?

A: Formulas with 30 percent concentrations or lower can be used on children ages 2 months or older.

Q: Will DEET damage my clothing or gear?

A: DEET will not damage nylon, cotton or wool. It may damage some synthetic fabrics, plastics, watch crystals, leather and painted or varnished surfaces. Wash treated clothing before wearing it again.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have terrible noseeums biting midgies in my yard between May and August. Has anyone had success with this product on those nasty bugs
Answer:	Hello, Our Buzz Away Extreme formula is proven effective against mosquitos and ticks. If it is no-see-ums that are of concern, you’ll want to get our original Buzz Away Deet Free Insect Repellent formula, which has more citronella and added eucalyptus essential oils. Just search for "B00014DQSI" in the Amazon search bar!
Question:	Is it helpful with wasps
Answer:	Have no idea. I do know it's not as effective as some 'bad for your skin/body' brands out there, and it does have to be reapplied much more frequently, but it's a pleasant, very liquid topical if that's important to you. I don't believe it's an effective 'wasp' spray (if you intend to try to kill a wash nest), but that doesn't mean it won't deter wasps if you use this on your person and some wasps are flying around. I'd not trust ANY insect repellent to keep away wasps if they are intent on getting you!
Question:	Safe for pets
Answer:	Dont know. If you need a safe tick flea mosquito repellent for you pets I suggest 4K9 from www.killbugsnaturally.com. it is compound of neem oil and cedar oils.
Question:	What age can use this product
Answer:	It does not state an age however being natural I would use it on my child down to likely age 18 mos. That is me personally. What I can tell you is that this natural product has worked better for my daughter who is a mosquito maqgnet to the point she ends up with cellulitis from bites for over 8 years now. She is now 12. Last year I tried Melaleuca's Insect Spray and it was awful! I had room in my order so thought I would try it. It simply reaffirmed that this is the only product for my daugther. Before this her pediatrician had us using the deep woods sportsman, think tiny keychain type container with 95% Deet. No joke! It was that bad! This stuff works better than the Deep Woods Sportsman with 95% DEET! Only thing I will buy and has been for years! We will never go to anything especially after my blunder last year trying something else!
