Sawyer 20% Picaridin Insect Repellent, Continuous Spray, 6-Oz

Sawyer's 20% Picaridin premium Insect repellent spray and lotion offer effective protection against a wide range of pests, including flies, ticks, and mosquitoes, making it a safe choice for the whole family. In a review by Consumer Reports (February 2016), Sawyer's Picaridin-based Insect repellent, referred to as the "fisherman's formula," was listed among the safe and effective insect repellents.

The long-lasting, fragrance-free Sawyer Picaridin repellent can be applied to the skin, clothing, outdoor gear, and more. It provides effective protection against disease-carrying mosquitoes and ticks that transmit illnesses like Lyme disease. The repellent also effectively deters biting flies, stable flies, black flies, gnats, chiggers, and sand flies. The non-greasy spray and lotion have a pleasant low odor that dissipates when dry, and they won't damage plastics or synthetic coatings.

Sawyer Premium Insect repellent is safe for use on a variety of surfaces, including clothing, backpacks, synthetic fabrics, watches, and sunglasses. For maximum protection from mosquitoes and ticks, it can be combined with Sawyer's Permethrin Insect repellent for clothing, fabric, and gear.

The Picaridin spray is effective for up to 12 hours against mosquitoes and ticks, and up to 8 hours against biting flies, gnats, chiggers, and sand flies. It is available in various sizes, including a 0.5-ounce pump spray (airline friendly), a 3-ounce pump spray (airline friendly), a 4-ounce pump spray, and a 6-ounce continuous spray.

The Picaridin lotion is effective for up to 14 hours against mosquitoes and ticks, and up to 8 hours against biting flies, gnats, chiggers, and sand flies. It is available in a 2-ounce lotion bottle (airline friendly), a 4-ounce lotion bottle, and institutional-sized half-gallon and 1-quart lotion pump dispensers (great for schools, daycare facilities, and more), with a 1-gallon refill size. Individual 0.34-ounce lotion packets (available in boxes of 14 or 50) are small enough for carrying in a pocket, purse, or backpack, making them ideal for everyday use, travel, hiking, camping, daycare, schools, and fieldwork. Each 0.34-ounce Picaridin lotion packet provides sufficient coverage for most people, and two packets can be used for full body coverage or during activities when more skin is exposed.

Since 1984, Sawyer Products has offered the best and most technologically advanced solutions for protection against sun, bugs, water, and injuries, from first-aid kits developed for wilderness to point-of-use water filters that provide water cleaner than U.S. bottled water.
