Protect Yourself with Off Deep Woods Insect Repellent

Now that monsoon season has started (at least where I live), mosquitoes and West Nile Virus they carry. Aside from dumping things that hold rainwater after the rain is gone, (where mosquitoes breed) it is time to start wearing Insect Repellent.
The OFF brand was recommended on a TV show (I cannot remember which one, probably one of the morning shows). One of the main reasons it was recommended is because it has DEET.
I really do not have a problem with getting bit by mosquitoes, they do not like me. However, the people I live with are eaten alive. So, finding one that works is a necessity.
I got the “unscented” version thinking it would be somewhat unscented. I had delusion of it not having any scent at all but I did expect it to be subtle. However, it is strong. You will still be smelling it on yourself (or others if they put some on) for hours afterwards. The only thing that really gets the smell off you is a shower. In addition, if you spray it on your clothes (which you can do, it says so on the can) the smell will be coming from the hamper until you wash laundry.
The spray can works good, it delivers a nice coating of repellent. You only need to pass over each area (leg, arm, etc.), anymore and you would be using more then you need. The button is easy to work and because of the dip where the button is you will never not know which way it is pointing
(have you ever had something that you could not tell where the stuff would come out? Nothing sucks more and makes you feel stupid then spraying yourself in the eye).
Has far as repelling insects, it does the job. There have been no bits since we started using Off Deep Woods Insect Repellent. It is not used everyday, just when we think it is needed (after a good rain).
Like most things under pressure, you should not store them in a car or anywhere that gets hot but I have had one in a shed (through all the seasons) and it is fine, no explosions.
Read all directions; they have the basic cover-their-own-ass and common sense warnings, like do not get in your eyes and do not swallow, etc. They do mention not to keep it on longer then needed (so take a shower ASAP).
