More effective at repelling biting flies than DEET, it's also effective at repelling stable flies, black flies, gnats, chiggers, and sand flies. Very comfortable to wear on your skin, it's ideal for all your outdoor adventures, from camping, backpacking, hunting, and fishing to backyard BBQs, sporting events, days at the park, and more. Sawyer 20% Picaridin topical spray is effective for up to 12 hours against mosquitoes and ticks (14 hours for the lotion), and the spray and lotion provide up to 8 hours of protection against biting flies, gnats, chiggers, and sand flies. Both the non-greasy, fragrance-free spray and lotion dry quickly and won't damage plastics or synthetic coatings — safe for use on clothing, backpacks, watches, sungl, fishing line, firearm finishes, and more. Available in a variety of spray and lotion bottle sizes, Sawyer 20% Picaridin also comes in individual 0.34-ounce lotion packets that are great for everyday use and small enough for carrying in a pocket, purse, or backpack. The top-rated bug repellent by WireCutter/New York Times (May, 2020), it's also considered to be the repellent of first choice by the Public Health Agency of Canada’s Canadian Advisory Committee on Tropical Medicine and Travel for travelers 6 months to 12 years of age. Maximize protection by pairing with Sawyer Permethrin tick and insect repellent spray for clothing and gear. Since 1984, Sawyer has used technological advancements to create products that keep you outdoors — from the backcountry to the backyard — including insect repellents for both skin and clothing, water filters for camping and emergencies, and sun protection. Review: It works - Really works, and doesn’t leave that sticky feeling. Although has a slight smell. The lotion version is even better Review: Effective repellent - I took this with me to Sri Lanka and there were bugs around me almost constantly, I didn’t have one single bite in 5 days of living in extreme natural conditions around tea plants. I even found a honey bee in my room that didn’t bite me because I always had the repellent sprayed on me at all times. The spray is oil based however it absorbs in the skin pretty quickly - plus for those who have dry skin. Additionally, I couldn’t smell it on me although I was wearing it at all times. 100% recommended ## Features - Safe for use on the whole family, long-lasting insect and tick repellent lotion deters a wide variety of pests — up to 14 hours against mosquitoes and ticks and up to 8 hours against flies, gnats, and chiggers - Fragrance-free topical insect repellent with 20% Picaridin — more effective at repelling biting flies than DEET; repels disease-spreading ticks (Lyme, tick-borne encephalitis) and mosquitoes (West Nile, Dengue, and Zika viruses), chiggers, and more - Very comfortable to wear on your skin, it's ideal for all your outdoor adventures, from camping, backpacking, hunting, and fishing to backyard BBQs, sporting events, days at the park, and more - Non-greasy; dries quickly and won't damage plastics or synthetic coatings — safe for use on clothing, backpacks, watches, sungl, fishing line, firearm finishes, and more - Top rated bug repellent by WireCutter/New York Times (May, 2020); maximize protection by pairing with Sawyer Permethrin tick and insect repellent spray for clothing and gear ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07BSBBVZW | | ASIN | B07BSBBVZW | | Best Sellers Rank | #214 in Health ( See Top 100 in Health ) #3 in Insect & Pest Repellent Body Sprays | | Brand Name | Sawyer | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (25,249) | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (25,249) | | Department | unisex-adult | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00050716056426 | | Included Components | Two 4-ounce lotion bottles | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Form | Lotion, Spray | | Item Nype Name | Insect Repellent | | Item Volume | 4 Fluid Ounces | | Item model number | SP5642 | | Manufacturer | Sawyer Products | | Manufacturer | Sawyer Products | | Manufacturer Part Number | SP5642 | | Material Features | Fragrance Free | | Model Number | SP5642 | | Number of Items | 2 | | Product Dimensions | 7.62 x 7.62 x 12.7 cm; 272 g | | Scent Name | Unscented | | Size | 4-oz, Two-Pack | | UPC | 050716056426 758399394506 767873142113 | | Unit Count | 236 Milliliters | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sawyer - **Item form:** Lotion, Spray - **Item volume:** 4 Fluid Ounces - **Material features:** Fragrance Free - **Scent:** Unscented ## Images ![Sawyer Products SP5642 20% Picaridin Insect Repellent, Lotion, 4-Ounce, Twin Pack - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81d2BpTlsOL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Would it work for Zika mosquitoes? I'd appreciate the answer very much** A: I think so. this prod would work on any type of mosquitoes...I would imagined.

We were outside every day on safari and in jungle like areas. Worked awesome!
