No Bites, Just Memories: How Two Travellers Stayed Protected on a Month-Long USA Road Trip

No Bites, Just Memories: How Two Travellers Stayed Protected on a Month-Long USA Road Trip

Aug 19, 2025Kim Wiseman

When Louise and Deborah-Ann set off from the UK for a month-long road trip across the USA, they packed the essentials: comfy shoes, camera gear, and their trusty incognito® protection - products they’ve relied on for over a decade.

“As always, we took our trusty and reliable incognito® products with us, to keep us free from mosquito and other insect bites.”

From the humid trails of Tennessee to the cool lakes of Michigan, their journey proved that plant-based protection really works - wherever you roam.

🧭 Arkansas to the Smokies: Never Without Spray

Their trip started in Arkansas, where they dug for crystals and explored a lesser-known national park - lots of biting insects, they noted.

“We used our incognito® insect repellent spray, and wore our incognito® bracelets. No bites.”

Then came Georgia, where they stayed lakeside with friends.

“Beautiful, but a perfect environment for all those biting insects. We used the SPF30 sun cream with repellent built in, topped up with insect spray several times a day, and wore our bracelets. We didn’t get bitten.”

🏕️ Campfires, Showers & Horseflies in Michigan

Next stop: Lake Superior in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula - a cooler climate, but with a new challenge: biting black horseflies.

“The only time we got bitten was when we didn’t apply our spray fast enough after getting out of the shower.”

They used a full kit during this leg:

“We also used the roll-on in the evenings, when we were by the campfire... and incense sticks while we ate. At night in the camper, we used two room refreshers to keep those biting insects away.”

🛳️ Canyon Tours & Woodland Boat Trips

Their final stop was Wisconsin, where they took a boat tour through a canyon carved by wind and rain.

“We were on the water, in the woodland - great for all those biting insects. Two hours on the boat, and no bites at all.”

They continued using the incognito® soap and deodorant daily as part of their routine.

“We even saw horseflies land on our skin and fly off again without biting. These products work on all biting insects - not just mosquitoes.”

💬 “We Would Never Travel Without incognito®”

After over 10 years of using incognito®, Louise and Deborah-Ann are among our most loyal champions:

“Products that smell great of citronella, are DEET-free, with no harsh chemicals - and ACTUALLY work.”

“No horrible greasy after-effect, quick-drying, and they keep those mosquitoes and biting insects away.”

“We always HIGHLY recommend incognito® products to everyone we speak to about insect bites - or the lack of.”

Here’s the real incognito® travel kit that got them through 6 states without bites:
