I haven't had the chance to use it yet but I'm wondering if there are any users out there that have had any luck with it. I know the stuff I normally use has something like 25% DEET.

(ahem, clear throat) What my neighbors here call, "Midges" are the size of a pencil dot. They're happiest when they have flown up your nose. They come out at sunset and have an affinity for lawnmower sounds. Annoying but completely harmless.
The Fuck-wad Cock-smokers, are what we call, less colorfully, "fuckers!" aka, "Sand Flies"
