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.

Effective DEET-based Active Ingredient

DEET is the common name for N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide. DEET works by interfering with neurons and receptors located on the mosquito’s antennae that detect chemicals such as lactic acid and carbon dioxide.
