Mighty Fix Subscription Box Review – July 2015

I really did not like this product. It smells horrible. The mint and eucalyptus on top of catnip oil was awful. Also, it just didn’t work at all. I regularly hike with my dog in the woods near the Trinity River and it is a mosquito haven. Using a DEET spray like OFF! keeps me from getting bitten.

While I understand the draw of using an alternative to DEET, and was looking forward to find something greener to use, this product definitely isn’t it. It didn’t protect from mosquito bites even when standing in half an inch of grass in my backyard with no water anywhere around. (Read: Way less mosquitos than at the river!) I was smelly and covered in bites!

As for cats: When I came inside after testing this product, I tossed my clothes on the floor next to the hamper to avoid getting the rest of the laundry covered in that scent. All five of my cats spent a good fifteen minutes rolling around all over my tank and shorts. They are all catnip lovers and they definitely seemed to pick up the scent from this lotion.

All in all, even at $5 with the coupon, I was really disappointed with this subscription. I tossed the product after the first use because even if it had actually worked, the smell is atrocious. I cancelled my subscription immediately. Absolutely not worth it for me.

I hated this product. It smells so bad! It also didn’t stop any mosquitos from biting me. I live in Texas and the mosquitos are everywhere, so I was really hopeful it would work. When I use DEET, I never get bitten, even when hiking with my dogs in the woods near the Trinity River. I couldn’t even stand in half an inch of dry grass in my own backyard without getting bit while using this stuff.

I understand the draw of using products other than DEET, but this just flat out did not work and it also smelled horrible. The mint and eucalyptus on top of the catnip was gag-worthy.

As to cats – when I came inside after using this product I tossed all my clothes on the floor next to the laundry hamper so they wouldn’t stink up the rest of the hamper. All five of my cats were rolling around in and on my clothes. I’d say if the cat likes catnip, they’d be all over this.

Not impressed with the product. And not impressed with the value either. I wouldn’t have paid $10 + tax for this product. I wait for one more month to see how it goes, if it keeps this way I’m out.

It would be perfect if it didn’t contain Retinyl Palmitate which scores a 9 on the Skin Deep database for toxicity.

I tried this yesterday, mowed the lawn, then sat outside for more than an hour without reapplying and didn’t get bit! So I’d say it works really well. I got very sweaty mowing the lawn and thought it would make the bug stuff ineffective, but it didn’t. Also, when you put it on, you can feel the mint and eucalyptus cooling your skin.

I haven’t tried this specific oil but I did try buying catnip oil for my cats and I accidentally broke the bottle on the kitchen floor and they didn’t care. I guess there is something different about the oil and dried catnip that they go crazy for?

Do you know if we sign up now if we get this box? I could use this for my toddler that gets eaten up by mosquitoes. I’ve tried just about everything.
