Sawyer Products SP565 Picaridin Insect Repellent, 1-Quart Pump Dispenser

Sawyer 20% Picaridin Premium Insect Repellent spray and lotion is a safe, long-lasting, and effective solution for protecting the whole family against a wide variety of pests, including flies, ticks, and mosquitoes – even the Zika-transmitting Aedes Aegypti (Yellow Fever Mosquito). The non-greasy, fragrance-free, and odorless formula dries quickly without damaging plastics or synthetic coatings, making it safe for use on clothing, backpacks, watches, sunglasses, and more.

Consumer Reports reviewed Sawyer's Picaridin-based insect repellent, known as "Sawyer Fisherman's Formula," and included it in their list of safe and effective insect repellents (February 2016). Offering up to 14 hours of protection against mosquitoes and ticks, and up to 8 hours against flies, gnats, and chiggers, this topical repellent is more effective at repelling biting flies than DEET. It effectively deters disease-spreading ticks (Lyme, tick-borne encephalitis) and mosquitoes (West Nile, Dengue, and Zika viruses), as well as chiggers and other nuisance pests.

Sawyer Premium Insect Repellent is ideal for all your outdoor adventures, from camping, backpacking, hunting, and fishing to backyard BBQs, sporting events, and days at the park. The comfortable, long-lasting formula can be applied to both your skin and clothing, outdoor gear, and more, providing comprehensive protection against insects and ticks.

Maximizing protection can be achieved by combining the Picaridin-based repellent with Sawyer's Permethrin insect repellent for clothing, fabric, and gear. The Picaridin Spray offers up to 12 hours of protection against mosquitoes and ticks, and up to 8 hours against biting flies, gnats, chiggers, and sand flies, and is available in a variety of spray and lotion bottle sizes to suit your needs.

Sawyer Products has a long history of offering the best, most technologically advanced solutions for protection against sun, bugs, water, and injuries – from first aid kits developed for wilderness use to point-of-use water filters that provide cleaner water than U.S. bottled water. Their commitment to quality and innovation ensures that their Picaridin-based insect repellent is one of the top-rated options on the market, as recognized by WireCutter/New York Times in their 2020 review.
