Understanding Repellent Types

DEET, picaridin, and natural repellents all work differently — choose based on activity duration, exposure, and sensitivity.

Preventing Tick Bites

Wear long sleeves, use permethrin-treated clothing, and inspect your body daily when hiking or camping in wooded areas.

After-Bite Recovery

Apply soothing gels or antiseptic creams immediately after bites to reduce itching, swelling, and infection risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the best insect repellent for camping?
DEET repellents offer the longest protection, while picaridin and natural oils provide effective alternatives for shorter exposure or sensitive skin.
Can I use DEET-based repellents on gear and clothing?
DEET may damage synthetic fabrics. For clothing and tents, use permethrin spray instead for safe and long-lasting protection.
What’s a good natural repellent alternative?
Citronella, eucalyptus, and lemon oil-based sprays offer effective short-term defense without chemicals — great for family and kids’ use.
