Nomad 100ml Deet Insect Spray

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... Read review

Advantages: Easy use spray, gentle on the skin, works!
Disadvantages: Occasional allergy

My regime was to apply Skinsations to all exposed skin (neck, arms, legs) and then the collar and cuffs of my shirt, short bottoms and socks.

DEET disrupts the ability of biting insects to detect carbon dioxide (from breath and skin). Mosquitoes and other biting insects are not killed. They just cannot locate us. Skinsations also contains Aloe extract and Vitamin E as skin moisturisers. TEST RESULTS Our current Florida vacation has... Read review

Advantages: really does work well
Disadvantages: none

.... The Spray comes in a 100ml Plastic White/ Blue and Green container, and an environmentally friendly spray nozzle, No Ozone Damaging Gases. It's cost is about £8.00 - $12.00 Euro. The spray itself is made from natural resources, which is predominately Eucalyptus Extract. If professes to have no adverse side affects or irritations to the skin, and can be used on babies as young as three months old. I must admit, I had no side affects of any kind. Apply by spraying the Mosigaurd on your largest open parts of your anatomy, quite a pleasant smell, and it soon starts to soak in, in seconds. But as stated before, you will need the Mosigaurd stick for the other areas, especially on your face. I found that the combination of the two worked very well, and was soon enjoying a relatively trouble free break, the odd die hard Mosi still got... Read review
