This stuff is awesome!Jun 28, 2010
By LAF
I really love this product. I'm not sure what the problem is with deet-containing products, but I always feel greasy when I use them and they irritate my eyes, nose and mouth. This doesn't happen with Natrapel. After it dries, you can barely tell you're wearing it, but it is very effective. When hiking with friends/family, I have seen ticks jump on them and immediately jump right off. I have a real phobia with ticks--especially because deer ticks have become so prevalent and I have several friends (and their pets) that have gotten chronic Lyme Disease infections from them. In our area of eastern and central PA there has been a huge increase in Lyme Disease over the last several years, which can cause havoc in your body. My family and I were camping last weekend and we all used Natrapel. None of us was bothered by mosquitos or ticks. One caveat is that you must use it on every part of your body. For example, if you use it on your body, but not on your face, the mosquitos will attack your fsce or any area on your body where you have not used it. Overall it is so superior to deet-containing products, that it's worth finding snd buyinng. At least in our area, it is difficult to find, but you can find it online and it's well worth the time and effort to find it and buy it, even if you have to pay extra for the shipping. A little goes a long way and it's a comfort knowing that it's all natural AND effective.

superior natrapel productJul 24, 2009
By T. Butler
unique among natrapel products as it has less scent than other natrapel sprays we have used and it is more effective at repelling mosquitoes

I am surprised and pleased!Jul 19, 2010
By Navywife0405
We went camping this past weekend and I had run out of my normal non deet bug spray. So, I went to my BX and looked to see if they had a non deet product. The only thing they had was this naturapel. I bought it and boy am I glad I did! This stuff works so well! I am normally eaten alive but I came home from camping with 2 bites on me. My kids came home with only a couple bites as well. For being out in the open for 3 days and 2 nights this is awesome that they hardly have any bites! As long as you spray all the areas on your body you will not get bitten. My friends with the deet containing sprays were spraying all night long. I only applied 2 times a day! I will be buying more of this!

Works "most" of the timeJan 08, 2012
By Davi
I like this repellent. It seems to work as good as DEET most of the time. The reason I say most of the time is sometimes the bugs are so bad that only 100% DEET works, or run for your life. It seems Natrapel is more effective on blackflies and midges than DEET. I did have to re-apply more often than 8 hrs though, maybe every 3-4 hrs I would re-apply as needed. Mostly from my knees down, my lower legs seem to get the most attention from the mosquitoes and flies, or it just "bugs" me the most down there.
The biggest selling point for me is IT DOES NOT RUIN GEAR LIKE DEET DOES. DEET melts nylons coats, tents, raingear etc. etc. etc. For me, this makes it a great value at twice the price. I also will not use 100% DEET, if the bugs are that bad I will use a head net and long sleeves and pants. When I do use DEET it is generally a 30% or less formula - just put that in for a reference point for you to gauge by. When I am Backpacking in Montana, all I will use now is a DEET-free formula, it is too expensive to take the chance of ruining gear. I am now old and cheap and don't want to waste the money.
