Category - Wholesale Insect Repellent

Insect repellent is a type of lotion or spray that is applied directly to the skin or clothing to keep unwanted insects from biting and crawling on you. Insect repellents help keep insects away that might be carrying diseases such as malaria, Lyme disease, Dengue fever, bubonic plague and the most common, West Nile Virus. One of the most commonly found substance in insect repellent is DEET. 100% DEET was found to offer up to 12 hours of protection while several lower concentration DEET formulations (20%-34%) offered 3-6 hours of protection. DEET is a chemical that was developed by the United States Army as the result of jungle warfare during World War II. DEET was first used by military personnel in 1946 and by 1957 it was available to the public. Insect repellent is an essential item to have when going camping, hiking, or for a hot summer night stroll to protect against unwanted bug bites. A test of various insect repellents by an independent consumer organization found that repellents containing DEET or picaridin are more effective than repellents with 'natural' active ingredients. All the synthetics gave almost 100% repellency for the first 2 hours, where the natural repellent products were most effective for the first 3060 minutes, and required reapplication to be effective over several hours. For protection against mosquitoes, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control issued a statement in May 2008 recommending DEET. Insect Repellent is also known as mosquito pest control sprays, insect-off repellant, natural bug DEET-based repellants, emergency outdoor preparedness replicas, government issued safety survivalists skin protection, house fly deflectors, etc. Insect Repellent is commonly misspelled as cheap army navy discounted hikes gears, hiking geers, etc.
