I put a little on my finger, and some goes on my head, in my beard, elbows, behind knees. Not a lot, just enough so that you can smell it. Works really well. I'm mostly through a very small jar of kids strength and I've been using it for 3 or 4 years now in the back yard

What I need to find is something that works on horseflies and yellow flies... the vicks doesn't seem to bother them, and they are BAD at the local shooting range...
