Its 20% Picaridin formula is fragrance-free, non-greasy, and safe for use on skin and gear, making it the go-to choice for professionals and families seeking reliable, comfortable, and long-lasting insect defense during all outdoor activities. ## Description An effective alternative to DEET that’s safe for the whole family, Sawyer’s 20% Picaridin insect and tick 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. 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. Sawyer Products has offered the best, most technologically advanced solutions for protection against sun, bugs, water, and injuries – everything from first aid kits developed for wilderness to point-of-use water filters that filter contaminated water to levels cleaner than U. S. bottled water. Review: Works and doesn't stink. - I have the blood type that mosquitoes love. I can't keep them away from me. DEET Is usually pretty effective but in order to keep bugs away, I need a lot of it, and it smells terrible. The Picaridin in this spray isn't nearly as offensive to the nostrils, and I can layer it on pretty heavily. It's not quite as effective as DEET, but it works well enough, it's lack of smell makes it my first choice. For really bad mosquito days, I recommend combining this with a product containing IR3535. The two of them are definitely more effective than DEET alone, and neither one of them smells terrible. Review: Great alternative to DEET - Great product. Terrific for mosquitos, knats, ticks, etc. Even in those "high bug areas" in fields, weeds, deep woods, trails and camp. Loaned to friends whose bug spray wasn't working! Apply on boots and pants/legs for tick prevention; across shoulders and hat to keep flying bugs out of ears.
