Ben’s 100 Max Deet Tick & Insect Repellent Spray

Sometimes regular old bug juice will get the job done.  Sometimes not, and that’s where Ben’s 100 Max Deet Tick & Insect Repellent Spray comes into the picture.  Creepy crawlies want nothing more to do with you once they realize they are outgunned by the baddest of all repellents – 100% Deet.  Just the name Deet scares ticks and mosquitoes.  But, it also scares your super fancy synthetic gear, so save the Ben’s 100 Max Deet for only the most extreme situations.  Think I’m pulling your leg?  Take a look here on Sectionhiker.com and see for yourself.  You’ve been warned.

Going on a little paddle down the Amazon?  Hiking in the Everglades?  Better bring along some Ben’s.  For most situations, Tender Corporation’s Natrapel Wipes does the trick for me, but during the summer months at a lot of places in Florida something a little more potent is needed.  In fact, at a recent rainy hike at Rice Creek Preserve, Natrapel Wipes were no match for the weather and finch-sized mosquitoes, so I fended them off with a few quick squirts of Ben’s 100% Deet.  Worked like a charm.
