Deep Woods Off By uaezarb on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
I spend a lot of time outdoors in the summer, and because we have a lot of trouble with mosquitoes and ticks in our area, I always make sure to spray on Deep Woods Off before I go out. Deep Woods Off contains 25% Deet, one of the best known insect repellants. I don't know how bad the chemical is for you, but it does work. I can get about four or five hours of protection, before I have to reapply.
I have always used the aerosol, but you can also buy this in a pump spray or towelettes. The scent is not offensive, but it doesn't have a fresh scent either.
In addition to mosquitoes, this also will repel ticks, black flies, sand flies, chiggers, fleas, gnats, and no-see-ums.
I enjoy being outdoors a lot more when bugs are not bothering me, and this does the job for me.

This is a great product, I agree. Not too sure what the" no-see-ums" are but I know they have found me many times :) Walmart is always a great store to find this item at a resonable price. I haven't ever tried the towelets but that would be very convenient for a unplanned hike. Keep these in the car!
Like Tink said, I'm not sure what a "no-see-um" is but I'm sure I wouldn't like it because I hate all bugs! Yuk! I will have to check this one out this summer. It's hard to find a bug spray that actually works.
i hate the bugs!!!! this would be a good product!!
We use this all the time. Here in the south the skeeters are really bad and in the summer you can't go out at night without it.
iti s good to know there are products that do the job they promise.
I'd seen this but wasn't sure if it really worked. In past years I have tried just off and found it didn't do much to keep the bugs away. Sounds like this is a big improvement. Thanks
I hate winter and snow but at least there are no bugs! This is a great solution for the summer months and those actively working out in the yard. Thanks for sharing and your recommendation!
This is a staple for our family when we spend a lot of time outdoors!
Love Deep Woods Off! It might not be fragrant but darn it, it works! That is all I care about:)
This is the only repellent that I use. I find it works better than the others on the market.
