“Do not bother”

★★☆☆☆

written by 1990Trujillo on 24/06/2023

Took us ages to work out how to put it together no instructions and what little information there is is written in the tiniest writing so you need a magnifying glass to read it. No idea if it works though want to throw it across a field. Also stinks. What do i like about it er nothing!!

“Damaged brand new watch”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Gonzales363 on 28/03/2022

Brand new G-Shock watch 24 hrs old. Sprayed this maximum formula on my arm and it reached the side of my watch. Had a chemical reaction with the silicone/rubber and it’s irreversible. Contacted the company regarding this and they fobbed me off telling me it’s not compatible with plastics and synthetics yet it doesn’t state rubber or silicone or even synthetics on the label. Avoid this at all cost as the company are vile - I asked for reimbursement and they have sent me lies about their labelling as you can see on the photos attached nowhere does it state rubber/silicone . All I am asking for is the cost of the watch as a replacement and they are not interested. Disgusting company to deal with. Never again will I use or recommend this brand

“ruined my shoes”

★☆☆☆☆

written by McCormackfe1990 on 11/10/2015

Used Jungle Formula Maximum and it ruined 2 pairs of shoes and took off nail polish. Ended up buying 'off' which was a lot cheaper and never got any bites at all. Big NO to Jungle Formula

“Very effective”

★★★★☆

written by 233Kidd on 06/09/2015

No bites at all with this, yippee. However it is very strong and skin may be sensitive to it. Smells terrible and leaves an oily deposit that brings colour off leather and even brings your nail polish off! I much prefer the lotion which has a better smell and you can rub it in properly. I think mozzies still land and start to bite, but then move on, so you sometimes get little starter bites.

“TERRIBLE STUFF”

★☆☆☆☆

written by HaileyRoy on 01/08/2015

Both my husband and I used it only once in the Far East. Within an hour of applying it we were covered in a very itchy red rash and small blisters. Cold water wipes helped but we suffered discomfort all day. Will never use it again.

“Effective. Read Instructions before use”

★★★☆☆

written by Harshal-safety on 02/05/2014

An effective product to be used outdoors. I spray over my trousers while going out. However, you must check out the DEET% mentioned on the pack as more concentration can be hazardous too. Keep away from children. You can also spray it in the car.

“Works in Central Africa”

★★★★☆

written by on 01/09/2012

I travel to Central Africa regularly for my job (DR Congo, Sudan) - and I never travel without Jungle Formula maximum strength. You need it there because if you get bitten you risk getting Malaria. In 5 years of travelling I never got a single bite. I can not give it 5 stars though, simply because its odour is really awful and it seems to dry your skin a bit. But it's not damaging or longterm; it's just not your usual beauty product. It's a chemical anti-mosquito weapon for your skin. When I return home from travelling, I usually treat my skin with lots of lotion and it's all back to normal.

“Awful”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 12/04/2012

A bad product. I covered myself in the spray and had the plug-in; I was covered in bites!

“What nasty stuff this is, I used it in Spain & still...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 13/08/2010

What nasty stuff this is, I used it in Spain & still have a scar where the rash was. I had to go to the doctor & it ruined my holiday. I will never use any Deet product again.

“I live in the Scottish Highlands, and I needed to...”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 10/07/2010

I live in the Scottish Highlands, and I needed to clear a lot of brush wherein the midges thrive, I jumped straight in (using no insect repellent protection) with my machete slashing and clearing , shortly the midges were there in clouds and feasting upon me , I shortly retreated as I was itching and covered with bumps all over my arms, I took a shower , then looked in the medicine cabinet and saw some "Jungle Formula - Roll On Junior" version left there by one of my friends, I tried it , went out to cut and slash in midgie hell and it worked (Ooooh Heaven !) probably about 98%+ effective , it might have been 100% if I had applied it more thoroughly. So in conclusion, I can't rate the spray versions but the Roll on Junior Version was fantastic ...that is all :)

“Jungle Formula Insect Repellent Spray is totally...”

☆☆☆☆☆

written by on 03/06/2009

Jungle Formula Insect Repellent Spray is totally useless in the prevention of being bitten . My husband who normally does Not get bitten had over 50 bites after using the new formula spray. I had 8 very infected bites as I react very badly.
My skin was dried out and the after bite spray caused huge blisters on my very swollen feet.

“I felt that Jungle Formula Insect Repellent Spray was...”

☆☆☆☆☆

written by on 02/07/2008

I felt that Jungle Formula Insect Repellent Spray was a complete waste of money. It smelled really chemically, took black colouring out of the leather on my shoes (even though it claims not to once dry) and didn't stop me getting bitten. I used a natural product I bought in Mexico for a fraction of the price that did the job

☆☆☆☆☆

written by tarajs on 14/06/2008

This is an expensive product that really doesn't do what it says on the bottle. Luckily we found another 100% Natural product (which Jungle Formula isn't) which we now use.

Saying what the 100% natural product is would have been helpful...

“We use the sensitive skin family lotion version, this...”

★★★★★

written by joantel on 23/04/2008

We use the sensitive skin family lotion version, this is the creamy type, far easier to apply. We would have given 10 out of 10 if the protection had been for more than up to six hours. Rather expensive, but worth it.
