A must have in Texas
Works great and doesn’t leave any staining residue like other brands. Lightweight and doesn’t smell bad

No More Bugs!
This product is AMAZING! My kids are absolute magnets to bugs, and this has worked better than any natural (or even non-natural) product we've used. I love that the ingredients are listed on the bottle and we know that are kids are safe and protected! Everyone should have this product; especially in the summer months!

Bleached our grass
I liked that it didn’t have a small, but it killed our grass! I can’t help but wonder what it was doing to our skin.
1 reply from Shubug, Inc. team - 2 years ago
Hello, Kinsey. I'm so sorry to hear about your grass. We do use 100% natural oil in our formula which contains 96% Walnut Oil and Coconut Oil (No Soybean Oil). Although our formula is amazing for your skin, the natural oil isn't great for grass. We recommend spraying it in your hand and then applying to avoid overspray. Please rest assured, Shubug not only repels for 10 hours, but it is also great for your skin. We also don't use Soybean Oil like many of our competitors because it is often times harvested with the cancer-causing chemical Glyphosate. Shubug uses the highest ingredients to moisturize your skin while repelling mosquitos. Thank you again for your honest review it helps us to improve our message. Mike Lyon CEO

Nice can and nice spray
Bought this with the Natural so I could see which worked best. I can't decide, this one is good too! Smells good, doesn't feel weird on my skin and the best part, no bites!

Best Insect Repellent
As an avid traveler and camper, I am always looking for a reliable bug spray, and Shubug has been fantastic. It's DEET-free, which is a huge plus for me since I prefer safer products. The active spray keeps bugs away for a solid 12 hours, making it perfect for all-day hikes and overnight camping trips. I’ve taken both Shubug sprays with me on numerous trips and it consistently performs well. Knowing I have dependable protection makes my outdoor experiences much more enjoyable - especially since I used to constantly get bug bites. If you're looking for a safe and effective bug spray, I highly recommend Shubug.

Amazing Insect Repelent
I've been using the active (green) can of this bug spray for a few weeks now, and I couldn't be happier with the results. As someone who spends a lot of time outdoors, finding a reliable bug repellent is crucial, and this one truly delivers. First and foremost, I love that it's DEET-free. Knowing that I'm not exposing myself to harsh chemicals while keeping bugs at bay is a huge plus. Despite being DEET-free, it provides a remarkable 12-hour protection against mosquitoes and other pesky insects. I've used it during long hikes, camping trips, and even while working in the garden, and it has never let me down. The spray is easy to apply and doesn't leave a sticky residue, which is a common issue with other bug sprays. It has a pleasant scent that's not overpowering, making it comfortable to wear throughout the day. Overall, this is an excellent product for anyone looking for an effective, long-lasting, and chemical-free bug repellent. Highly recommended!

NO SMELL
I am not one to write reviews… I love to fish and have used all kinds of bug spray on the lake but this one has been the best in terms of working great and NO DEET SMELL. I didn’t even know it was possible to have something work without a smell. I won’t be using anything else but ShuBug from now on.

Shubug made bug spray fun!
I have tried both Active and Natural and found them equally effective. I tend to use Active in evening when mosquiitos are out and this kept them away. Again, the smell and feel on the skin was pleasing. I love that it feels light! I am a fan of Shubug and admire the brand.

This Stuff is Awesome!
This Shubug stuff is awesome! It is the first deet free repellent I have found that doesn't have a chemically smell with a nasty feeling. It goes on dry and is scentless! I actually forgot that I had sprayed it on myself. It also lasts 12 hours, I will continue to use Shubug and ONLY Shubug from now on!

LOVE THIS!!
I stumbled upon Shu Bug while searching for a safer alternative to traditional bug sprays, and I'm really pleased with this find. First off, the scent is fantastic—refreshing and citrusy, not overpowering at all. But most importantly, it works like a charm! I've used it during evening walks and outdoor gatherings, and I haven't been bothered by mosquitoes or other bugs. It feels gentle on my skin and doesn't leave a sticky residue like some other sprays I've tried. I appreciate that Shu Bug is made with natural ingredients and doesn't contain DEET or other harsh chemicals. It's a relief to have something effective against bugs without worrying about what I'm putting on my skin. Overall, I highly recommend Shu Bug if you're looking for a natural bug spray that actually keeps bugs away. I'll definitely be keeping a bottle handy for the summer months!

Effective Long-Lasting Bug Spray
This is the first deet-free bug spray I have used that actually works! Our family went camping on a weekend trip and only had to apply once a day to keep the bugs away. 10/10 would recommend!

Shubug, No more bug bites!!!!
Best bug spray EVER!!! I love that it has a pleasant smell and keeps the bugs away with one application. Even my kids love it and they will ask for Shubug by name, it’s no longer “bug spray”.

The brand says it all!
I don’t normally leave reviews, but I found this brand in a Target store and have become a repeat customer because of how well the product works. We love this stuff - my wife and I spend a lot of time in the backyard and “Shubug” does just that, keeps them bad mosquitoes away for hours! We live in the south where the bugs will eat you alive, but I haven’t been bit once since using Shubug.
