Hi Hillary. We got back last week but went armed with all the repellant you could throw a cat at. We travelled in a group of 6 and all had some and extras. Spoke to many locals that said that Dengue was not such a problem anymore. Either way we used our repellant religously. We use Bushmans. 20% With suncreen and the 40% deet one of a night. Whilst we never got bitten by any mozzies (stayed in Kuta, Mara River, Ubud and Sanur) it did however eat anything and everything we touched. ie: camera lenses. Our new GOOD QUALITY sunglasses, the printing off thongs which leached into my heals on my feet. Nothing a few pedicures didn't fix. If using this product, be careful what you touch. Didn,t use it in Sanur, we were sick of it melting everything. As I said though, we had no problems with mozzies. Enjoy your stay
