Q: Is it safe near pets?

submitted by Gabby - 11 days ago
  • A: Thank you for writing to ask. Yes--Tongo (with Picaridin instead of DEET) is safe to use around our companion animals. While it's not made to be applied to animal fur or skin, you can feel comfortable applying it when they're nearby. They probably won't want to lick your skin (given the alcohol, fragrance, peppery taste of Picaridin, etc.) And, please discourage companion animals from licking skin newly applied with Tongo. It's not especially toxic, but it's not something you or they would want to ingest! All our best-- Team Tongo

This actually seems to attract mosquitoes. My daughter sprayed this before walking the dog and came home absolutely covered in the most bites she's ever had in her life. She was barely out 20 minutes and had to come back early since she was being bitten so badly.

Gimmick fragrance that is not at all noticeable but just smells overwhelmingly like picardian. You'd be better off just getting a standard picardian repellant or a scentless picardian(cheaper and works the same). This costs more with no perk.

Long-Lasting & Smells Great! 🦟🚫

5 out of 5 stars

If you're looking for a DEET-free alternative that actually works, Grand Tongo Insect Repellent is a game-changer! With 12-hour protection and a pleasant Citrus + Sandalwood scent, this is a must-have for outdoor adventures. Why This Repellent Stands Out:✅ DEET-Free & Skin-Friendly – Uses picaridin instead of DEET, making it safe for kids, pets, and sensitive skin without the greasy or sticky feel. ✅ 12-Hour Long-Lasting Protection – Shields against mosquitoes, ticks, and other biting insects for extended periods. ✅ Pleasant Scent (Citrus + Sandalwood) – Unlike traditional repellents, this smells fresh and natural instead of chemical-heavy. ✅ Non-Greasy & Fast-Absorbing – Doesn’t leave a sticky residue on skin or clothes. ✅ Great for Outdoor Activities – Perfect for hiking, camping, fishing, and backyard gatherings. Our Experience:We tested this on a humid summer evening, and it worked amazingly well! No bites, no irritation, and the light, fresh scent was a welcome change from overpowering chemical sprays. It also lasted through a long hike and some light sweating without needing reapplication. Pros & Cons:✅ Pros:✔️ DEET-free & safe for the whole family✔️ 12-hour protection✔️ Non-greasy & fast-absorbing✔️ Light, fresh scent❌ Cons:Needs reapplication if swimming or sweating heavilyScent fades after a while, but protection remainsFinal Verdict:Grand Tongo DEET-Free Insect Repellent is a fantastic alternative to DEET-based sprays. It’s effective, pleasant-smelling, and safe for sensitive skin, making it perfect for anyone who spends time outdoors!

Loved this product. We'll purchase it again. We took it to Aruba which has had a lot of rain in the last 6 months. Lots of mosquitos in the shade all day and in the evening. This repellent worked great and it didn't leave any odor or greasy feeling on our skin. Very effective!

I took this on a recent trip to Jamaica and used it twice a day as directed. I still got bites, maybe not as many as I usually get. But I really liked the way it dried and wasn't as sticky or smelly as other brands.

I am literally a mosquito magnet. They. Love. Me. Not anymore!! I only had one bite in 11 days, and the mosquitoes were hovering over me constantly but just didn't land!! This stuff works great, and does not contain deet.

Disappointing

Incognito - 1 year ago

We got inundated with gnats for some reason this summer. I have tried several different bug sprays to keep them off me because they bite and this was another one I'd hoped would have worked better. If you don't want them flying in your face, you have to put this on your face (rub on with your hands do not spray on your face). But still. . . The gnats still fly pretty close and it just doesn't repel them enough. I don't like the way it feels on my skin either. I want to take a shower right after I put it on because it leaves a film that isn't very pleasant. Sorry! This stuff isn't cheap so people need to hear a true review. I would not buy this again.

Way too expensive but does work

3 out of 5 stars
Laura K. - 1 year ago
originally posted on grandtongo.com
I was looking for a bug spray for my morning walks that wasn't so stinky as a lot of them set off my allergies or give me headaches from the scent. This one doesn't have a super strong smell after it dries down but at first it is a bit strong and doesn't smell anything like the scent description to me. So I was a little disappointed at that. I was expecting a more pleasant scent. It does seem to work at repelling bugs and I like the spray mechanic. My main problem is the price. Like wow this is expensive for what you get, it only lasted a couple weeks of use and I don't use that much. Not willing to pay that much for it if I have to buy every other week.
