The Best Insect Repellent Sprays (驱蚊液) in 2023
Nothing ruins a pleasant outdoor experience quite like annoying mosquitoes sucking blood on your arms and legs. Sure, bug spray is great and all. After numerous tests, we found four bug sprays that stood above the rest.
Proven Insect Repellent Spray ($16.97 at Home Depot)
Picaridin-Proven’s active ingredient, comprising 20% of its formula (配方)-is one of the best at repelling bugs. Proven Spray’s smell is well nonexistent. It is easy to forget that we even apply this spray-besides the fact no bug would dare touch our skin.
Botanicals Mosquito and Insect Repellent IV ($4.96 at Wal-Mart)
This repellent is made with p-menthane-3, 8-diol and it doesn’t have a smell at all, which is a huge bonus. It’s also available in one of the smallest size choices, at 2 ounces, so if you want a truly tiny spray you can fit in your pocket, this one could be for you.
Coleman SkinSmart DEET-Free Insect Repellent Spray ($4.87 at Amazon)
A 30% IR3535 spray in an aerosol bottle, Coleman can be dried instantly and doesn’t leave any remains on our skin. The aerosol pushes the repellent out, making spraying a super fast process. The only big speed bump is its smell. Some testers said it had a smell of chemicals that could easily make you cough when spraying it.
Cutter Backwoods Insect Repellent ($4.28 at Target)
Cutter Backwoods is a 25% DEET formula, the gold standard in insect repellents, It has a larger nozzle (喷嘴) than the others, resulting in a wider area of application. Its biggest downside was the bottle’s big size, which makes it hard to simply throw in your bag.
