Its non-greasy, fragrance-free formula dries quickly without harming plastics or synthetic gear, making it ideal for professionals and families who demand reliable, comfortable, and gear-safe insect defense during all outdoor activities. ## Description An effective alternative to DEET that’s safe for the whole family, Sawyer’s 20% Picaridin Insect Repellent provides effective protection from disease-spreading ticks (Lyme disease, tick-borne encephalitis) and mosquitoes (West Nile, Dengue, and Zika viruses). More effective at repelling biting flies than DEET, it's also effective at repelling stable flies, black flies, gnats, chiggers, and sand flies. Very comfortable to wear on your skin, it's ideal for all your outdoor adventures, from camping, backpacking, hunting, and fishing to backyard BBQs, sporting events, days at the park, and more. Sawyer 20% Picaridin topical spray is effective for up to 12 hours against mosquitoes and ticks (14 hours for the lotion), and the spray and lotion provide up to 8 hours of protection against biting flies, gnats, chiggers, and sand flies. Both the non-greasy, fragrance-free spray and lotion dry quickly and won't damage plastics or synthetic coatings — safe for use on clothing, backpacks, watches, sunglasses, fishing line, firearm finishes, and more. Available in a variety of spray and lotion bottle sizes, Sawyer 20% Picaridin also comes in individual 0.34-ounce lotion packets that are great for everyday use and small enough for carrying in a pocket, purse, or backpack. The top-rated bug repellent by WireCutter/New York Times (May, 2020), it's also considered to be the repellent of first choice by the Public Health Agency of Canada’s Canadian Advisory Committee on Tropical Medicine and Travel for travelers 6 months to 12 years of age. Maximize protection by pairing with Sawyer Permethrin tick and insect repellent spray for clothing and gear. Since 1984, Sawyer has used technological advancements to create products that keep you outdoors — from the backcountry to the backyard — including insect repellents for both skin and clothing, water filters for camping and emergencies, and sun protection. Review: Wow its fantastic - This is brilliant, and my second order. I get absolutely covered with mosquito bites, have awful reactions to them, and have done for years. Went to Vietnam this year, got there early evening and, after 24hrs traveling forgot to use it, got bitten 5 times. I didn't forget again for the next 10 days and only 1 bite in all that time .Back in the UK, my husband who works outside and never gets bitten by anything, got loads of bites from horseflies one day, he went back to the same place next day with the cream on and not one bite. I cant reccomend it enough Review: It actually works 100% - This stuff is brilliant, I get eaten by every bug on this planet, especially mosquitos. This completely stops them in their tracks. If there is an area you have missed they will find it on me. It soaks in quickly and as a lotion you can be sure not to miss an area unlike spray. Lol it also repells partners 🤣 as it tastes disgusting. highly highly recommend ## Features - Use biocides safely.

I'd appreciate the answer very much** A: I think so. this prod would work on any type of mosquitoes...I would imagined. I applied on me and my kids every 3-4 hrs and it seemed to work. **Q: Can it be used while swimming** A: I would assume it can but I would apply it again after drying off. **Q: Why does the label say "do not use under clothing?"** A: Topical insect repellents do not work as effectively when they are under clothing. **Q: Would this work on an african safari or do i need deet?** A: This worked great for me on a 15 day trip to Uganda. We were outside every day on safari and in jungle like areas. Worked awesome! Mosquitos LOVE me in general and I never got a single bite with this lotion. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow its fantastic *by A***R on 12 August 2026* This is brilliant, and my second order.

This product works well and I don't know anything about picardin the active ingredient. But it made me think of captain Picard fending off the tics with next generation technology. Hopefully it's less dodgy on the human skin than old school permethrin products. I didn't sense any harm and had no tic klingons ## Frequently Bought Together - Sawyer Products SP5642 20% Picaridin Insect Repellent, Lotion, 4-Ounce, Twin Pack,White - Sawyer Products SP657 Premium Permethrin Insect Repellent for Clothing, Gear & Tents, Trigger Spray, 24-Ounce - Repel 100 Insect Repellent, Pump Spray, 4-Fluid Ounces, 10-Hour Protection --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/311573242-sawyer-products-insect-repellent-with-20-picaridin-pump-spray](https://www.desertcart.us/products/311573242-sawyer-products-insect-repellent-with-20-picaridin-pump-spray) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-27*
