Frequently Asked Questions
Is Picaridin as Effective as DEET?
Picaridin is the perfect balance of efficacy, safety, and user-friendliness. It repels a wide variety of pests including mosquitoes, ticks, biting flies, sand flies, gnats, chiggers, and midges.
One of the longest lasting repellents available, it provides up to 14 hours of protection against mosquitoes and ticks (using the lotion; up to 12 hours for spray models), and up to 8 hours against a variety of flies, chiggers, and gnats.
Is Picaridin Safe for the Whole Family?
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the active ingredient Icaridin (which is how Picaridin is known around the world) as the product of choice for malaria prophylaxis.*
Icaridin is recommended by the Public Health Agency of Canada’s Canadian Advisory Committee on Tropical Medicine and Travel for travelers six months to 12 years of age.**
Available as Lotion and Spray
- Lotion lasts up to 14 hours
- Comes in 2- and 4-ounce personal lotion bottles and individual lotion packets
- Also available in institutional-sized lotion pump dispensers
- Spray lasts up to 12 hours
- Available as a spray pump in 4-ounce, 3-ounce, and 0.5-ounce sizes, plus 6-ounce continuous spray
Should I Use a Lotion or Spray Repellent?
Lotions last longer than sprays. Sprays have the advantage of being able to be applied to clothing where it remains effective longer than on skin. Since repellents work as a 3 inch barrier, clothing applications can often protect 6 inches away from exposed skin, reducing your usage on skin. For optimal protection Sawyer recommends lotion on the skin and spray on the clothing.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I do like the lotion version of this product as well, but this one is a little easier to apply as you can just mist yourself. The lotion version is excellent however, and I purchased both. I also have the teeny spray tube, which is another good option for taking in your bag on the go.
I've never had any issues of this product damaging fabrics or clothing when I get it on my clothes as well.
This has no noticeable or lingering scent to me.
Altogether, I recommend you try this product if you are looking for a DEET-free option that is effective, not too expensive, and from a reliable chemical manufacturer.
The scent is acceptable, its not as nasty as some bug sprays, but it does have a scent.
The problem I have is this bottle's spray mechanism. It sprays, but also leaks onto the pumping finger/hand.
Ultimately I bought a different product (containing picaridin) that is an aerosol can.
But I do have this brand in the lotion and I REALLY like that. Its excellent for spot application or for layer one of a two layer plan of defense (second being the spray).
I wore it in the jungle in Argentina and didn’t get a single bug bite! On the other hand one evening I forgot to put it on before dinner and I returned to my room with at least a half dozen mosquito bites.
The best part is that there is no gross smell or stickiness. Wonderful!
Regarding the efficacy of the product, I sprayed it on the exposed skin on my feet and legs while walking and sitting on the beach/sand and did not get bit at all. So a big thumbs up to the effectiveness of the product! Based on this, I would recommend the product.
TIP: If you do purchase the 3-ounce spray bottle, you may wish to buy an EMPTY 2-ounce spray bottle (available on Amazon or at local drug stores or mass retailers) and transfer Picaridin from the original packaging into it as an efficient way to fit it inside your 3-1-1 bag. Or consider the spray tubes if you can find them at a retailer near you.
the only negative about this product is that the product sometimes leaks out of the inner cap (there are two caps), and the spray leaves a sticky residue, so i have to wash my hands after using the spray. however, this is a SMALL price to pay for no more bugs. works great (and the size is carry on travel friendly)!!!
