This is a wonderful product - I can take my dogs into the woods all summer, and the insects take one whiff and leave. Even those pesky flies that like to land on dogs and people. I put a little around my dogs heads before we go out, and they are also fly-free! It's totally natural - no chemicals - smells great AND is most effective. Same thing in the garden - I don't worry much about ticks - put it on my shoes and ankles when I am digging in the garden, or raking leaves in the fall. Don't just buy it for yourself - get some for your children and grandchildren - it's wonderful stuff!

I loved the yellow label Burt's Bees Insect Repellent the first time I used it. I actually rub it on my dog's bed to prevent fleas. I also use it on my kids and myself when I got out to do my gardening. I love the smell. However, when I went online to order several more bottles what I received was the green label Herbal Insect Repellant. The difference in ingredients is very small, but the scent of the product changes quite a bit. The yellow label includes Wintergreen oil that really makes the scent refreshing, almost lovely. I recently had a friend come over with her daughter and both commented on how good my house smelled. I had just rubbed the yellow label repellent on the dog's bed. My mother wants to buy some to use as an occasional air freshener in her home. Had I received more of the yellow label repellent (as is pictured on the website) I would have given this product a 5 STAR Rating.

      Comments about Burt's Bees All Natural Outdoor Herbal Insect Repellent, 4 fl oz:

      the oil they use in this product is very thick and greasy. you literally feel like you are basting yourself in olive oil in preparation for grilling on the barbeque. you look all greased up and shiny and the scent is so powerful and unpleasant that i only wear this when gardening in my backyard... i will never use it in a group of people while hiking or something. it makes you feel all yucky, sticky, stinky, and oily, worse than a lot of sunscreens. only use this when you don't give a darn what you look and smell like! the scent is very annoying to me and i'm always happy when i finally get to wash it off. the oil soaks into your clothes so that you don't even want to leave your clothes lying around anywhere for a minute more because of the annoying scent wafting off of them. guess it's effective for getting you to not leave your clothes on the floor! i'm going to use up the can i have and never purchase this product again. the only good side to this product is that it works ok... i still get some very brave and very hungry mosquitoes that are willing to risk diving into and getting stuck in the grease, but otherwise most do stay away.

      a better product is Kiss My Face Sunswat. the oil is light and not very greasy at all... you barely feel it on your skin and the smell is *wonderful*. it's just as effective or maybe even more effective than Burt's Bees and i'm impressed at how something that smells so nice still repels the bugs. even the super angry ants that normally attack my feet in my garden don't bite me and actually seem to get calmer around my feet.

      except the strong smell, I think it is a effective product. Best of all, it 's natural! So I won't worry about putting this on my baby.

        Comments about Burt's Bees All Natural Outdoor Herbal Insect Repellent, 4 fl oz:

        I've been using this on my babies/toddlers for about 5 years now, and it's better than not using anything. It does a reasonably ok job of repelling insects in bright sunlight. However, for late afternoon strolls through the woods, I've slathered this on my daughters' legs and in the next few seconds, seen large mosquitoes feasting on their knees! While I worry about applying DEET to their skin, I also hate seeing the huge welts they get from bites. It smells great and is very natural, but it just doesn't repel most biting insects.

        This stuff is amazing! Love it! I used to live in TX and the mosquitos ate me alive until I found this stuff. It smells wonderful--like lemongrass. It works better than anything else I have tried (and I have tried them all). Remember to reapply throughout the day as it does rub off over time.
