PICARIDIN
The gold standard for topical insect repellents.
EFFECTIVE
Derived from piperine in pepper plants, Sawyer Picaridin is a synthetic replica of a natural solution and is highly effective at repelling mosquitoes, ticks, and is more effective than DEET at repelling flies such as biting flies, black flies, sand flies, gnats chiggers, fleas, and no-seeums. Additionally, it won’t damage gear or equipment like liquid DEET. Picaridin repels mosquitoes which may carry the Zika Virus, Yellow Fever, Dengue, and Chickungyna, and repels ticks which may carry Lyme Disease.
LONG LASTING
Picaridin spray lasts 12 hours against mosquitoes and ticks and while the lotion lasts 14 hours. Both spray and lotion repel flies for 8 hours.
FAMILY FRIENDLY
Picaridin is a great for the whole family and is also safe for use during pregnancy. It’s considered to be the repellent of first choice by the Public Health Agency of Canada’s Canadian Advisory Committee on Tropical Medicine and Travel for travelers as young as 6 months.
ECO FRIENDLY
Sawyer’s BOV (bag on valve) continuous spray contains no propellants like an aerosol, so you get more repellent and limit the propellants in the environment. It also sprays in all directions.
