Nobody likes to be eaten alive by bugs, and we can't spend all day inside our bug nets! This Picaridin based insect repellent provides protection against mosquitos and ticks for up to 14 hours and up to 8 hours against flies, gnats, and chiggers. Once dry the lotion is non-greasy and odor free.This bug repellent is safe to use for all but the youngest little campers and (unlike DEET based products) will not harm your gear, clothing, or equipment.
