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.**

  • Lotion lasts up to 14 hours
  • Comes in 2- and 4-ounce personal lotion bottles and individual lotion packets

deet,mosquito,mosquitoes
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.

After several hours in the woods, No Bites!!!
5 Stars
After several hours in the woods, No Bites!!!
Finally ... A repellent that isn't DEET based and doesn't smell insanely gross.Picked this up last week, and have used twice with great results! The first being Saturday ... Walking a lot we are in the process of buying. 2 Acres of Hardwoods, ton's of brush and thickets, and lots of briers. The previous weekend I had gone out and came back with quite a few chigger bites that still itch to this day.This past Saturday 8/15/2015 -- Happy to report I spent and hour in the woods, with ZERO chigger or mosquito bites!!! WOOO HOOO!!! First time walking this property without getting bit! I am now a true beliver in Picaridin!Pro's:1) WORKS as advertised! No chigger, mosquito, or tick bites!2) Goes on clear, and rubs in well.3) Does not leave an oily/residue feeling like DEET products can.4) Supposedly healthier than DEET?5) NO SMELL!!! No off putting smells like so many other bug repellents.6) Great 3oz size for travel!Con's:1) Relatively expensive, with not much competition.With the only con being the price, its a small price to pay to stay bit free :) Already plan to buy another bottle!
