Ranger Ready Repellents Picaridin 20% Insect Repellent Spray, Scent Zero - DEET-Free Mosquito Repellent and Tick Spray (3.4 oz., Pack of 2)

This has been a bad season for ticks already. We went to an dirt bike woods race with the whole family a few weeks ago. As soon as we got there, without taking a single step out of the truck, I hung my legs out of the open doors and doused my feet and up to my knees with this stuff. Unlike other tick sprays I have used before, this had little to no smell. It dried completely and was not greasy at all. Within 10 minutes several people in our party were picking entire tick nests off of their legs. I still had no ticks. We were at this race in the woods for an entire day. I applied only one time when we first arrived at about 8:00. AM. At 3:00PM the race was over and we were standing around waiting to get the race results at the scoring booth. Everyone was complaining about how many teeny tiny ticks they had on themselves during the day. I looked down and I finally had one single seed tick on my foot walking up my leg. That was the first tick I had seen all day long. I walked back to the truck and reapplied the spray from my feet up to my knees and I never had another tick. People were complaining for about a week after the race that they were still finding teeny tiny ticks on themselves and their kids. Not me! This is going to be our new summer staple for a camping, dirtbike racing and any outdoor activities.

Keeps ticks off. Wasn't able to get unscented so opted for orange. Its a light scent. My child actually likes the scent which is rare. It dries so not greasy on the skin. The pump is safer than aerosol imo. Doesn't get in their eyes or respiratory system at easy. Small bottle lasts longer than I thought it would too.

I was pleasantly surprised how well this Ranger Ready Picaridin based product worked (20%). I was on a cruise up the Amazon River to Manaus and the cruise stopped in three ports, plus I spent an extra 3 days in Manaus on my own. I was there in mid-March which is still rainy season. Frankly, the bugs weren't bad at all, which was another surprise, but I always sprayed myself with Ranger Ready before going on hikes or boat rides up the various rivers. And I was amazed at how well it worked - bugs, especially mosquitos which worried me, never got close to me. There is something in the ingredients that simply repel them. The product is super easy to use, especially with this pump spray applicator bottle. And you don't have to over apply and the instructions are clear on that. With the intense sun, I applied sun screen first (as instructed), waited about 15 min then sprayed the Ranger Ready directly on skin. And with this applicator, it only took a couple minutes to apply. And for face and neck, apply to palms of hands and then to face and neck areas and that works well. I never had issues with skin irritation anywhere including the face. It is not oily or greasy feeling at all and dries in a few minutes leaving very minimal residue. I also applied to my hat directly and on socks and shoes for good measure, and never had an issue with any stains or damage to the clothing, and I was wearing the breathable synthetic fabrics which are more likely to damage I think. I am also heavily into photography with professional gear and always worry about damage to camera grips, etc. with some products. This Picaridin does not damage plastics or metals at all. And since it basically dries to the skin, there is minimal transfer of repellant to surfaces anyway. And another plus is the smell/odor. It is actually a fairly pleasant smell except to bugs. Kinda has a peppery scent, which should be of no surprise I guess since it is somehow a derivative of a pepper plant as I recall. I highly recommend this product.

I love that Picaridin doesn’t damage fabrics or feel oily like deet products. And this product is a great size providing better value. My complaint is the bottle and sprayer. It’s awkward to hold. There’s a lock on the neck of the bottle to prevent leaking when not in use but that lock is in the one place I could comfortably hold the sprayer. I kept activating the lock as I tried to apply. I ended up transferring the contents to a spray bottle that was easier to use. The good news is the lock worked as designed so this may not be a problem for everyone.

no smell and works as advertised. Just bought 2nd bottle. My dermatologist recommended this brand.

Amazing and no smell. I used this daily in an area that was known for having dengue fever. I was in the forest and on rivers. No issues. I used on an island as well where I was getting bit up with skin so soft. I switched as soon as I got my bags. This stuff is worth it and travels well.

Went to Missouri during height of summer and rain. Very buggy, no ticks dared attach themselves to us, and yes, we were in BFM! This to me doesn’t really smell like DEET or some chemical you don’t want. Showers off nicely.

It really didn't work any better than my Melalcuca. This worked with keeping the gnats out of the trash . I will be returning it back

I trekked Mount Kenya September 2025 and used this stuff constantly until higher up in the mountains where you don’t get many mozzies, loved the stuff
