Hey guys, it’s Andrew Esquivel here, back with another review and today I’m going
to be reviewing Repel 100 DEET.
Now, DEET is the chemical that you find that repels things like mosquitoes and ticks and
all these other bugs that you really don’t want on you.
Typical OFF brand DEET is about 30% this is over 98% so this is very, very strong stuff.
And contrary to popular belief DEET actually goes on your skin.
What it does, it gets absorbed into your body and it changes your pheromones and that’s
what more or less makes the bugs not want to touch you.
So I am out here in the dead of night, it’s about 11PM and we are surrounded by high grass,
we are surrounded by water.
We are in the perfect condition to test this product, because I’m actually out here catfishing
in -- Let’s just say the only things I’m going to be catching are catfish hopefully,
because I don’t want to be catching any mosquito bites or ticks and whatnot.
So we’re going to stay out here for a few hours and then after that I’m going to come
back and we’ll see if this product actually worked.Okay, so I’ve been fishing for about
15-20 minutes right now.
And I am currently sitting in some pretty high grass.
There are bugs flying around, but they do not appear to care for me or my friend -- that
we sprayed our wrists and ankles with the Repel 100.
And so far it’s almost midnight and no bug problems.
We’re going to keep going.
This stuff’s supposed to last for about ten hours, so currently I’ve been wearing
the Repel for about two and a half hours and it shows no sign of wearing off.
Let’s see what happens after a few more hours.Okay, so we’ve been out here fishing
for about three hours now and like I’ve said before, we’re surrounded by a bunch
of tall grass, rush, trees, water.
So the bug population around here is quite dense.
My friend, who is the cameraman, came out here without the Repel on him already and
it’s fair to say that he was getting bitten up quite badly.
However, as soon as he put the Repel 100 on him bugs stopped biting completely.
Now, I had this stuff on a few hours before we came out.
So let’s take a look at my arms here.
There was definitely mosquitoes and other bugs out there but I don’t see any bite
marks or any welts of any kind from bug bites.
Basically, what we did is we applied one spritz, one tiny pump to each end of the appendage
and that seems to be enough.
So I’m completely bite-free.
Now I’ve used OFF, which is a popular brand for DEET and their Deep Woods is probably
the most popular of their products.
And theirs is about 30% DEET.
This, like I said before, is about 98% DEET.
And the difference is quite dramatic.
Literally, we could be out here all night and I honestly do not think that we would
have any problems with bugs whatsoever.
But now I’m going to take the camera and we’re going to talk to my friend – who
is the cameraman – and we‘ll see what he thinks, because he was out here with me
as well.
Yes, so, Repel 100 is a fantastic brand.
I’ve used OFF, I actually carry it with me when I go fishing.
And bugs are still a minor irritation, but you don’t get bit as much.
Using this-- my first time, I would highly recommend it.
I literally sprayed both my wrists, I applied some to the back of my neck and sprayed on
each of my legs.
One spray each appendage as Andrew was saying, and the bugs were gone.
So there you have it.
Essentially, this is the kind of stuff you want to take with you when you go fishing,
folks.
Because you’re out and about, it’s humid, there’s bugs flying around, and summer is
just around the corner, we’re still in spring as of right now.
Stock up on this stuff.
And the best part is, this stuff inside is like a very viscous gel, it’s not an aerosol.
So you don’t spray it around and it doesn’t have a funky kind of odor.
So if odors tend to affect you, as it does some people when they spray DEET on them,
this stuff – you might actually be able to get away without suffering any adverse
effects.
Because when you spray it on it’s a thick gel.
And it stays on there, and after about 10-20 minutes you’ll notice it will be gone.
And part of it is because it is going into your body to change your pheromones which
is primarily why this stuff works.
So I’ve got to give this good rating.
This stuff really, really does work.
I used to have to use the Bug Zapper as well as some regular strength DEET and I would
still get bitten up.
No Bug Zapper, dead of night, what I think is possibly one of the worst conditions possible
for having bugs around you – no adverse affects.
Even though it’s 98% DEET that may scare some people because it is a chemical, you
don’t want chemicals on your body, don’t worry – this stuff is made to do what it
does.
It does a really good job.
