Mosquito Repellent – What's best and which should I use?
Mosquito Repellent – What Is the Best Mosquito Repellent to Use?
When it comes to choosing the best mosquito repellent, there is more to consider than simply picking the first spray or lotion you see on the shelf.
There are many different mosquito repellent ingredients, strengths and brands available, from traditional chemical-based repellents such as DEET to modern, naturally derived alternatives like Citrepel®75 which is PMD based. The key is choosing a reputable mosquito repellent containing a proven active ingredient at an effective concentration.
What Is the Best Mosquito Repellent?
For many years, DEET has been the go to mosquito repellent. However, modern PMD mosquito repellents now offer an effective alternative for people looking for powerful protection without relying on traditional chemical based formulations. Especially if you have a young family where DEET is not suitable for younger children to use.
PMD (p-menthane-3,8-diol) is a naturally derived insect repellent ingredient with a strong body of scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness. Research published through the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine has found that repellents containing high levels of PMD can provide complete protection against several mosquito species for up to 8 hours.
But not all natural mosquito repellents are created equal. The concentration, quality and formulation of the active ingredient matter.
Why THEYE® Uses Citrepel® 75
