We like the odor and natural approach of this insect repellant.
Regular price $6.99. @ Wmart for $9.98.
If I read it correctly, 3C's shows this as the lowest price in a 12 month period.

Fair warning, Natrapel picaridin spray has a sweet floral scent that sticks around for a while. It's a nice smell, but noticeable. It will wash off clothes, but you'll smell it on a hat or jacket for a few weeks if you don't wash them.
Sawyers 20% picaridin does not have the smell and comes in aerosol, pump spray, and lotion. I'm sticking with Sawyers from now on just because it's unscented.
I prefer the bottle you pump with your finger because it's easier to not over-apply and you can tell how much is left. Picaridin spray (both Sawyers and Natrapel) will sting your nose and eyes when it is in the air as you spray it on, but not nearly as bad as DEET. Unlike DEET, there is no nose stinging or eye irritating smell after it's on. I just tell my kids to close their eyes and hold their breath while I put it on, and I spray downwind of myself. No problems applying the Sawyers lotion. (You don't want to taste it though, so wash your hands before you eat! 😝)

Our next trip I brought the remainder for my use, and Off! with Deet for the wife and it worked for her. Minimal bites compared to the moquito massacre when she used Natrapel.
Only thing I didn't like about it is the oiliness. Made the mistake of spraying in the shower and tell you it turned the floor into a slip and slide. Spray somewhere outside if possible.
Good luck adventure seekers. May this work for you.

I never did a side by side comparison, but I believe the pump spray versions are less greasy than the aerosol cans. (It could also be that it's just too easy to over apply the aerosol spray.)
