Customer Reviews of Burt's Bees Herbal Insect Repellent, 4-Ounce Bottle
Customer Review: Mosquitoes hate it. Japanese beetles love it.
Summary: 3 Stars
It's true that this nice-smelling (though really oily and hard to apply) repellent keeps the bugs from biting. But it doesn't stop them from trying to mate with your head -- if they're Japanese beetles. Ick. So if it's JB season, use something else. Hate to say it, because I love Burt's Bees products.Customer Review: Doesn't work--actually attracted insects to me
Summary: 2 Stars
Admittedly, I am one of those people on whom insects, especially mosquitoes and chiggers, love to feast. Even so, regular chemical-based insect repellents such as the lower-DEET content versions of Off work well for me. I tried Burt's Bees repellent as an alternative. What a complete waste of money. Not only did it not repel insects, it actually attracts them to me. I had more bites, more quickly, than wearing no repellent. It's back to DEET-containing products for me. This product is one of several from Burt's Bees that has given me a distrust of the company. (The rash-inducing lettuce soap was the worst; this at least did not make my skin itchy or sore, which is why it gets 2 stars instead of 1.)Customer Review: ATTRACTS mosquitoes
Summary: 2 Stars
This product actually attracts more mosquitoes than usual to me--and I'm very attractive to mosquitoes. I give it two stars rather than one only because it does not cause a skin rash, unlike some of the other Burt's Bee's products that I've tried.Customer Review: attracts japanese beetles!
Summary: 2 Stars
I didn't have very good luck w/ the product. It didn't repel mosquitoes and Japanese beetles started flying into me. Creepy. But if you like Japanese beetles, then this is the product for you.Customer Review: Ineffective
Summary: 2 Stars
The product smells very nice and is very easy to apply, but it did not seem to repel insects and caused a rash on my arms and a blistery rash on my spouses neck. We won't use it, again.
