Actually works and no nasty chemicals
So we now have both indigenous and imported mosquitos in much of the lower USA. The so called Asian mosquitos are commonly called ankle biters for obvious reasons. They are active in the day and at night the native ones take over which means 24/7 biting. I have found out I'm sensitive to the ankle biters so a simple bite can swell up into a quarter sized itching annoyance. Not good. Trying to stay away from extra chemicals so out of desperation I tried this product. You spray it on your skin b/f exiting the house and supposedly it keeps the biters away. Well much to my surprise, it does! I spay on exposed skin, a lite spurtz over clothes and even one above my head so the scent is in hair area (be sure to keep eyes closed and do NOT breathe in the spray!). I don't think this would work if you were swimming but I use this b/f going outside to garden or do other outdoor activities and it really works. Lasts for me appx 5-6 hours unless it's really hot and I'm sweating like a horse in which case only lasts appx 3 hours but I'm usually showering a/f heavy nasty humid outdoor activity anyways, so no problem. The only caveat I'd warn people about is if you (like an ankle biter) hate the smell of eucalyptus and/or lemon. This product is basically a spray of those essential oils and it is very scented. Personally I love the smell but some people might not. Last summer I only had a few bites and they were on areas where I had been wearing thin clothing. This year my practice, like I mentioned, is a light spirtz over clothed areas and no bites yet. So I'm definitely happy with the product and have a bottle indoors and outdoors!

Holy Moly, I Can Hardly Believe It
Ok, I basically never leave reviews, because I just don't have the time. But knowing how much I rely on others' reviews to help me find things that work, I feel it my duty to share.I bought this a month ago for my 3- and 4-year-old kids, especially. We live in DC (which is a swampy, humid, mosquito-breeding steamroom in the summer), and the mosquitoes are just awful and relentless. My kids love to play outside, both at their daycare and at home, but they've just been getting eaten alive, and my daughter gets really bad reaction and swelling when she gets bitten. It's been so bad that, prior to using Murphy's Repellant, they'd only stay in the yard a couple minutes before coming inside, covered in painful mosquito bites. I'd been using a different repellant (Sallye Ander No-Bite-Me Bug Repellent Cream - 2 oz, Natural, Safe for Kids & Infants, Anti-Itch, Moisturizing, Lemongrass & Mint Scent), which smelled pretty good but was sadly not very effective. Back to the drawing board, I did more research and found Murphy's. The reviews seemed promising, but honestly, I've tried so many non-DEET repellants over the years and none of them have worked very well and are always a disappointment. So I didn't have high hopes for this one.Well, my kids' skin doesn't lie! This stuff has worked shockingly well! We apply it in the morning around 8 am before heading to their daycare (they spend a lot of time outdoors there at the on-site playgrounds). It is effective up through pick up, which is around 4:30/5pm. Then if they want to play outside when we get home, we do have to reapply one time, but that will last them the rest of the evening. It's like...night and day. When my daughter has it on, she plays happily outside. When she doesn't, if she plays outside anyway, she comes in crying in 5 minutes from 5-10 painful mosquito bites. My son doesn't get so upset by bites, but I can see them on his skin when he gets them, and since we started using this, he very rarely has bites on him.Here's a quick pro/con list.PRO:-WORKS (at least for us)-Effective even in humid, mosquito-swarming environments-Easy to apply, and after several minutes, it soaks in completely and leaves no greasy or unpleasant residueCONS:-the smell is rather strong when applying and for about 10 minutes after application (but it does dissipate)-it's a bit pricey (but worth it, since it works!)I hope this review is helpful to other folks looking for EFFECTIVE, non-DEET, non-greasy mosquito repellant!

Most effective tick repellent I have used!
This stuff works!! It doesn’t irritate my skin and truly repels ticks. We found a tick on the dog and sprayed it and the tick stopped moving. Smells good!

Works Well
I live on a estuary and while it is beautiful, it is filled with insects. As it is filled with wildlife, I will not use chemicals so I found that this was a natural. It works well. I scent is pleasant and I am not bothered by the bugs.
