Picaridin Insect Repellant by Sawyer

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. 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 provides up to 8 hours of protection against biting flies, gnats, chiggers, and sand flies. The non-greasy, fragrance-free spray dries quickly and won’t damage plastics or synthetic coatings – safe for use on clothing, backpacks, watches, sunglasses, fishing line, firearm finishes, and more.

Features:

• FAMILY FRIENDLY: Effective for the whole crew, Sawyer Picaridin is safe for use during pregnancy and on children as young as six months of age
• TRUSTED INGREDIENTS: Derived from piperine in pepper plants, Sawyer Picaridin is a synthetic replica of a natural solution and is highly effective as a repellent
• LONG LASTING: effective for up to 12 hours against mosquitoes and ticks, while the lotion is effective for up to 14 hours. Both provide up to 8 hours of protection against biting flies, gnats, chiggers, and sand flies
• ECO FRIENDLY: Sawyer’s bag on valve continuous spray contains no propellants like an aerosol, so you get more repellent and limit the propellants in the environment. It sprays in all directions, even upside down, and can be recycled when empty
• LOW ODOR: The non-greasy spray and lotion have a pleasant low odor that evaporates when dry
• GEAR SAFE: Picaridin is safe for use on clothing, backpacks, synthetic fabrics, watches, sunglasses, and won’t damage plastics or synthetic coatings

Best uses: Hiking, multisport, hunting, fishing, international travel
