Types of Insect Repellents

Insect repellents can come in many forms and are used for different purposes, including:

• DEET (mosquitoes, ticks, some flies) - most used type of repellent
• Picaridin (mosquitoes, ticks, flies) - highly effective, can be applied on skin as a spray or lotion
• Synthesised plant oils (mosquitoes, some ticks) - considered as chemicals, uses lemon eucalyptus oil and IR3535
• Permethrin (mosquitoes, ticks) - this synthetic chemical is used to treat clothing, making them insect repellent

Long-lasting Protection

Some insect repellents can provide protection for more than 10 hours against specific insects, which is crucial for individuals who are looking to embark on a journey into the wilderness.

Application Tips

When applying insect repellent, make sure that you read the instructions carefully. Avoid inhaling and contact with eyes and mouth if using a spray and/or lotion. First spray on your hands, then apply onto your skin. Keep sprays away from synthetic clothing and plastics to avoid damage.
