I don't know. It has been a long time since I used it for insect repellent. The only one I'ver ever used was the original. I was in South Carolina in May and was introduced to a product that is supposed to be the best. It is about the size of a "walk-talky", has a battery igniter for a very small butane light, that heats a scented disc. It is supposed to keep clear of insects for 15'. They have larger ones for patio etc. We only used it that one evening for a few hours, it was quiet and seemed to work well. I was told they got it at Wal-Mart, I believe it would be in the "hunting/fishing" department

I used it two different ways.. I used almond oil to dilute it in a small spray bottle and i have also used it full strength placing a dab on wrists, elbows, neck, chest , ankles etc.. it works well for me in the summer repelling mosquitos.. i get eaten up by them if i don't use it!! You can mist your clothing.. careful cause it is an oil.. and also the area your sleeping in.. smells ok too.. kinda earthy.. have fun on your trip!!

Yes it should. The company claimed to have removed the waxy esters that are in the oil so that's why it doesn't solidify. However, it's the waxy esters that makes jojoba oil most similar to our natural skin oil and absorb better. The seller said that by removing the waxy ester, the oil will absorb better. Contradicting no? So the product we paid for clearly isn't what it's supposed to be.

Yes, they do work in the thermacell mesquito repellent. I tried one and it works fine.

Some really powerful repellent.I jog for one (1) hour several days a week and all other sprays were a joke and mosquitoes seemed to laugh at it.I work in my garden for several hours (sometimes all day) and no bug will hit me even with one application.Randall

I don't know about those specifically, but we had a horrible outbreak of mosquitoes recently after really heavy rains, and I wouldn't get a single bite when I applied this. Should work for you!

My concern was for a product that would repel mosquitoes; I haven't encountered no-see-ums or other blood-suckers. I suggest that you go to Avon's Web site and ask them. I'm sure they would know BUG GUARD'S capabilities.

Hi, I do not think it repels bugs. I bought it because I have a child with itchy skin and a sometime rash. He has very sensitive reactive skin. It works well for that, and a little goes a long way.

Yes, as long as you don't walk over it. I use it under and around the perimeter of my bed. It's been 4 months since I started using it and I have not seen any single bed bug in the last month. It works but it takes time. It's not right away. Try not to walk on it barefoot. I find it itchy and you don't want to get the powder directly on top of the bed where you sleep. For additional information check out the youtube videos on Diatomaceous Earth. Good luck, I also used Ortho's Home Defense Bed Bud Killer cause it kills on contact and keeps killing for a few days after. Don't give up, be persistent wash your curtains and vacuum often.

I lightly spray this on my dogs daily and they don't have any issues with biting flies or gnats. The flies have not been so bad here yet. I use Buggins all of the time when I am out working in the yard and find it works great, even seems to repel mosquitoes. Smells wonderful too!

Thanks for your questions Sladjana! Jojoba is commonly used to help stretch marks, both before and after they occur. :)

I have only used Volck Oil for white fly's which did work nicely! However, the product is no longer available for sale by Ortho but the why's, etc. I have no knowledge! I suppose its a petroleum based product or something but its an old product that worked for the majority of my life on all sorts of leaf-insect issues. Using on bark I never did but suggest you continue looking for your answer. I did purchase the last supply of Volck Oil from Amazon who might have some additional to sell! The big-box stores no longer have the product to sell. It would be my personal guess, tho, that a product like this should not be used on anything eatable! This is only a guess tho.

I'm getting ready to order the avocado oil to alternate with NOW jojoba oil... LOVE the jojoba! Almond oil seems lighter to me and does not penetrate and moisturize for an extended period of time. I think trying avocado and jojoba will allow you to determine which works best for what... Enjoy!!

I haven't tried it, but many other people have said they have. I wanted something for insect control that was safe around pets and children.
