Sawyer Picaridin Insect Repellent
ProductAbout
Sawyer Picaridin Insect Repellent is a versatile and effective solution for protecting against a wide range of insects. It is derived from piperine, a compound found in pepper plants, and is designed to mimic natural repellents. This product is particularly effective against mosquitoes, ticks, biting flies, gnats, chiggers, and sand flies, making it ideal for outdoor activities like camping, backpacking, and hunting. It provides up to 12 hours of protection against mosquitoes and ticks when used as a spray, and up to 14 hours when used as a lotion. Sawyer Picaridin is noted for its non-greasy texture and pleasant low odor, making it comfortable to wear on the skin. It is safe for use on clothing and gear without causing damage to plastics or synthetic coatings. This repellent is suitable for the whole family, including children as young as six months and during pregnancy. It is an excellent alternative to DEET, offering similar protection without the greasy residue or potential damage to equipment. Sawyer Picaridin can be used in conjunction with other products like Sawyer Permethrin for enhanced protection.
