Perfect size to bring for international travel. TSA liquids allowance is 3.4 ounce bottle (100 ml). Also has a good amount of Deet. Others are too large for travel or has 100% deet, which is way too much. This worked fine, I didn't get a single bite in Thailand. I only used it on my exposed skin, not on my clothes.
Used this spray on my trip to Cuba and the Bahamas (as Zika Virus is spread there). I was nervous about it keeping the mosquitoes away but it worked great! Sprayed it a few times everywhere including the clothes. I will WARN that you should not spray this on shoes that have paint on them or the ones that maybe plastic with some sort of paint, the paint will come off on your feet as that happened! Also, the smell of this is horrible! The joke was that this spray will keep not only the mosquitoes away but the people around you, lol. My friends who did not use bug spray or used another type did get bit, but I did not get bit at all, which was nice. I am giving it 5 stars though because it did keep the mosquitoes away as was the goal, and the smell did wear off (or went away after a few minutes), so if you are okay with the smell for a few minutes then this will work for you. I would probably not use this as an every day spray (seems like it may have some chemicals - smell is bad) but if you are traveling to places where zika may be present (for a few days), I would highly recommend this spray! Great at keeping mosquitoes and other bugs away! Oh, and I am a bug/mosquito magnet.
Got Ticks - Got Misquitos - Got Bens?
Oldy but Goodie - a must before going outside in the woods or a grassy park... Works well and lasts long enough.... 30% is low enough concentration that melting plastic happens rarely (still be very careful to not get it on any plastic parts or car bumper/paint etc...)
Let's just say that when my boyfriend and I went to Mexico a couple years back, I had 51 mosquito bites, he had zero. That being said, the mosquitos ALWAYS find me. I took this on a recent trip to Holbox, finally deciding I need to start bringing repellent. I went with the 30% and only had about 10 bites the whole week. I applied this religiously. It didn't 100% ward off the bugs, but considering the normal count on a trip like this, it helped. Next time, I'll get the higher deet content.
Sprayed ok. Took 10 hours to dry. Smelly while drying. It only lasts two weeks, which is a lot of work and process to go thru the next time I take this garment into the field for re-enacting. But, not much choice.

Description
Ben's 30 insect repellent provides up to 8 hours of effective protection in buggy situations. Don't get bitten, get Ben's!Aÿ
Stinks but works. The smell made me feel ill and gave me a headache, so I'm not sure if the trade-off of no bug bites vs. evil smell is worth it. I do know that I did not get a single sandfly bite in New Zealand, while my tour-mates were moaning about how sandflies bit them on old sandfly bites.... So yeah, it works!
This is an excellent insect repellant and works perfectly even while I am in my garden or pru Nguyen bushes. I am a human mosquito magnet and they just love to bit me. I must truly be a tasty morsel to them. Ben's 30% Ceet Mosquito, Tick and Insect protection is the best I've ever found.
Works well, but super strong smell upon spraying. Made me want to sneeze almost every time. It is pretty unbearable smell too, so I guess that's what keep them away. I'd also advise not to spray it indoor as it can irritate other household members.
Seems to do what it claims. Just returned Zika free from Brasil.
Used this on a trip to Cambodia. Granted there aren't many mosquitos there in January, but i didn't get bit and everyone else in my group did and they also had DEET on them.
