Advantages: strong enough, value for money, not that smelly Disadvantages: Not strong enough for serious jungle work
...I bought this product this year after previously owning the 100 deet repellent, which is far stronger. However i will have to say that if i had the choice against i would definitely buy the 50 instead and for the following reasons:
1. It is not as smelly as the 100 deet and therefore if you plan on walking into nice restaurants or just being with company in general you can get away from it, unlike the stronger stuff which makes you smell like a chemical plant.
2. It is far stronger than any home-brand names you get on the High Street and therefore i found that after a 3 week trip to a malaria infected area i hardly had any mosquito bites.
4. Although it is strong enough to keep all mozzies at bay with exception of the dreaded piri piri fly, it is not strong enough to really damage your clothes or make your skin feel...

Advantages: We didn't get bitten Disadvantages: can't be used in tropical areas

~~WHO IS THIS FOR?~~
It is suggested that the spray is for adults and children from the age of 6 months. This is actually one of the reasons I bought the spray- if a baby of 6 months can have it applied, then it's a doddle for a 6 ½ year old.
~~WHAT DOES IT DO?~~
Protects those under the influence of the spray from mosquitos, midges and other flying insects, so if it does work, then this has got to be good news.
~~PRODUCT AND PACKAGING~~
The product comes in a 125ml plastic aerosol spray can with all information and directions for use on the back. There is a lift off plastic lid so no danger of it spraying...
