Powerful Spray Saves The Day For RV Outdoor Fun
There I was enjoying the morning while the guy next door was swatting at himself and bellowing his shirt to rid himself of the flies. I've been using this product for a year now and have found it to be effective. The bottle says it will repel mosquitoes, chiggers, biting flies, no-see-ums, gnats and fleas. I really don't like being bitten by bugs I can't see, the boogie-man of bugs those famous no-see-ums. We travel all over the country and never know when we'll encounter a bug pest fest so we make sure we have this product close by.
Besides working great this stuff doesn't stink like products containing DEET (diethyltoluamide) which was developed by the Army in 1946 to combat bugs. Cutter's Advanced formula is non-greasy, non-stinky, and lasts a long time relying on Picaridin 7.0% as the main ingredient. We don't know whether this ingredient is effective in repelling ticks, so if you need to get ticks off stick with DEET containing products. Make sure you follow the directions on the back of the label. Debugging your RV holiday - Jim Twamley, Professor of RVingLabels: Pest Control

Oooooh I hate those nasty bugs! That's one thing about the south, and why I don't think we could live there.

I'm from the south and the worst bugs I've ever encountered were in Alaska in June. Those mosquitoes don't get called the "state bird" for nothing!

Hi, Jim! Thanks for this info. I have been looking for a bug repellant that is not a petrochemical or organophosphate. It appears that picaridin is a pyrethroid and possibly safer for me. DEET is very toxic, while picaridin is very low in toxicity. This EPA fact sheet says it targets ticks and gives other info about it:

While I was researching this on the Web, I learned that catnip oil is supposed to be 10 times as effective against mosquitoes as DEET. Here kitty, kitty...
