I have not used this product, but the ad you linked to indicates natural ingredients. I use a product called Natural Causes that uses cedar oil, citronella, and other natural ingredients. They are probably similar. If so, you will probably get good results. However, I do have to reapply more frequently than when using Deet, but at least the odor is not objectionable, nor does it chemically react with bow or gun finishes. Let us know how this product works for you.

We do not use insect repellant out here much. When I go back east to hunt whitetails I will need something

I always put up with the bugs cause I figured insect repellent could get me winded. Some of that stuff is pretty pungent. You can make your own with essential oils and come up with a recipe that is more effective for your particular biters and not so harsh on the skin.
As I understand it most bug repel products, especially with Deet, dont repel the bugs. They cover the scent of lactic acid and co2 which mosquitoes are drawn to. As soon as you sweat you start secreting lactic acid so it can negate the effectiveness of those repellents. Consuming garlic, alcohol and B vitamins repels mosquitoes because they don't like the smell in your blood.
Sounds like that Bite Blocker might be worth a shot if the bugs are bad in your area.

I rarely use insect repellent, since buying a Thermocell. I own several, and they work great.
