Insect Repellent

Without including insect repellent in your list of outdoor adventure supplies, your next trip could become a disaster. Nothing is more frustrating than planning a camping or hiking trip, only to be bitten by pesky mosquitoes and other insects. Bugs not only prefer humid air, but are also attracted to the carbon dioxide you emit. Thankfully, there are many safe and effective repellents available to keep you bug free and bring you peace of mind.

Types

Bug repellent is available in various forms to meet you personal needs and preferences. Natural forms do not contain chemicals and instead contain ingredients known to deter common pests such as select plant oils. Products to reduce the after effects of bites and reduce the complications of severe itching are also important to keep on hand. To avoid applying lotions and oils, battery-operated devices allow for bug-free environmental protection within a specified radius with no need for personal products.

Deet

Insect repellent with DEET has been found to be highly effective according to the CDC. DEET is also approved by the EPA for use as an insect repellant. DEET was first produced for use by the military in the 1940s and nothing has ever quite compared to its ability to ward off mosquitoes since.
