My bad!   :-/  I just assumed others had run into these since I got my first one at Wally World several years ago.  

Actually, I have the "industrial strength" version produced by Sawyers.  Same container, but labeled "Maxi Deet" ... it contains 98% deet.  I keep one in my fanny pack and another in a pocket of my PFD.

Just got back from a trip to Wally World.  While they didn't have the Sawyers version, they did have the Coleman product at 98% deet.

Word of caution with these little containers.  :-[

A few years I took my son on a river float for smallmouth. It was his 1st trip in his own boat. He was 13 and it was a big day for him. I set his fanny pack up with all the essentials.  Bug Spray, Sun Screen, Reel oil etc. All three came in the same neat Little Pump Sprayer with the pocket clip.

Nifty Nifty Nifty unless your a 13 year old who sprays himself the whole day with deet instead of sun screen. I was on him all day to make sure he kept sun screen on and in a tone a only a 13 year old can use he let me know he was keeping it on. Lets just say Deet or reel oil not sure which does not work as sun screen. 9 hrs on the river leads to a pretty bad burn.

Call me embarrassed when I figured it out. Mom was not happy with either of us. I was a failure as parental unit for letting this happen.  :'(

The moral of the story READ BEFORE YOU PUMP.  In my sons case he is autistic so he could not tell the difference. He was just pumping away.
I have also started using electrical heat shrink in colors to let him know what he is using.

I love the pumps they work great. Just be warned to pay attention to what your pumping if you use more than one product.
