went out last week squirell hunting and had to go through a thicket of grasses and brambles to get to my honey hole. this stuff is usually cut down but it wasn't. my friend went there a couple days prior and got ate up. so i new the cosequenses. i sprayed my whole body ,cloths, socks,boots everything with deep woods off unsented of course and never got one bite.knock on wood. but it worked. i waded through this stuff chest high and not one bite. hope this helps
