Apply repellent whenever you are going to be outdoors. Be aware that mosquitoes often can be most active at dusk and at dawn. Always remember to read and follow the label directions on the package.
Choosing the right repellent depends on the situation. Generally, the higher the concentration of the active ingredient, the longer you will be protected. The following tips should help you determine which OFF!® product is best for you in various situations:
- If you plan to spend a short amount of time outside, OFF!® FamilyCare Insect Repellents will offer good protection from mosquitoes.
- OFF!® Active® Repellents are sweat resistant. They're great for family activities, such as soccer games or bike rides.
- For long activities, like hiking and fishing, our choice is OFF!® Deep Woods® Insect Repellents or OFF!® Deep Woods® Sportsmen Insect Repellents.
Most OFF!® personal repellents include products that contain varying amounts of DEET. However, if you’re looking for an active ingredient other than DEET, consider OFF!® Clean Feel Insect Repellent I (Clean Feel) which uses Picaridin as its active ingredient.
