Mosquitoes can be quite dangerous throughout the summer months. It is important to keep yourself and your family protected from the pesky bites and the possibility of disease. I have found that the following repellents work the best.
Off brand soft and dry mosquito repellent is a wonderful choice for those who do not want to feel the spray on their skin after it dries. I have found that this product has a very mild scent and I love that it does not leave a sticky residue behind. This product contains 15% of DEET and should last for about six hours. I also like this repellent because it not only fights mosquitoes, but it also repels gnats, ticks, biting flies, chiggers and fleas. This product is available for purchase as mass retailers, grocery stores, and many drug stores as well.
Another mosquito spray that I like is also by the Off brand. This repellent is specifically for use in deeply wooded areas. It contains 100% DEET and repels mosquitoes, biting flies, gnats, chiggers, ticks and fleas. This spray offers 10 hours of protection. The product can be purchased at mass retailers, grocery stores, or drug stores.
Bug Band insect repellent is also a great option. This is another product that does not contain DEET and is made from natural ingredients. It contains an alcohol free lotion which is good for many different skin types. It repels mosquitoes, ticks, flies, gnats, and fleas. The mosquito spray also has an extended vapor release which helps to protect you from the bugs for a longer amount of time. The bottle is fully biodegradable and does not contain harmful ingredients. This means that it is not only safe for your skins, but it is also safe for the environment. The product is available on www.drugstore.com and is priced at $6.99.
Ben’s insect repellent spray offers great protection for a moderate price. This spray protects you from mosquitoes, black flies, stable flies, deer flies, biting midges, ticks and chiggers. It contains 30% DEET which will keep you protected for longer than some comparable products. This mosquito spray is offered at www.drugstore.com for a modest price of $4.99.
The last product that I have really liked is also by Off. This product is Off active. It is made for those who are participating in activities, or are enduring hot weather. This product is sweat proof, so you don’t have to worry about losing your protection as the temperature rises. It is available in different sizes and the levels of DEET vary from 15-25% depending on the container you purchase. This product is available at most retail stores and drug stores that carry bug sprays.
Make sure to protect yourself from pesky bites and the chance of contracting the West Nile virus this summer. The above products have been my favorites to stay protected from mosquitoes and other outdoor pests.
