Ya Mate insect repellent review
26th December 2019
Recently while in Port Stephens we were approached by Ray from Ya Mate, after he had seen our Across Australia Outback Tours vehicle, after a chat, he gave us some Ya Mate insect repellents products to try. Funny how the planets aline, we were on the lookout for a natural insect repellent for our tours, (I don't like or trust most insect repellents in the market place.) as 2 weeks before I was helping a mate build his house and we had no insect repellent and got all these insect bights on my legs and arms, so I was really on the lookout for a natural insect repellent.

Were we were staying for the week was a mates two acres property build on a wetlands area a great place to test this product on, and was the right environment and time of the year especially for mosquitoes, sand flies and midges.
Findings:
- Easy to apply with out using a lot of the product.
- Pleasant smell and not a lot of residue.
- We sprayed it on our skin and clothes and it worked.
Conclusion:
This is a great natural product for us to use on our AAOTours and in our personal life.
Thank you Ray for your foresight to approach us with your great product.
