By trail and error of various brands, this one seems to work best for me.
Brands like OFF! didn't do much, but this Ben's one is the best one I have found.
The bugs have been horrendous this summer, probably the worst I've experienced since my days as a kid vacationing in Manitoba during the summers. Went to a lake over the weekend and the moment we stepped onto the grass, it was like a swarm of locusts immediately located us and began eating away. Literally within a few seconds it was overwhelming. Moved back away from the water and applied the Ben's spray. Not a bug in site after.
Usually I'll do a quick spray before an evening walk and it's a life saver. Last night we went for a walk and forgot to spray some on and it was the worst walk ever. Saw some teen lacrosse teams playing on the athletic field close to us and it was obvious they were all getting eaten too. Felt bad for them watching the players slapping themselves repeatedly.
Very satisfying having my bug zapper on my balcony and hearing it zap away.
