DEET’s reputation has suffered in recent decades, and many repellents now boast of their DEET-free credentials. But if you want to guarantee yourself as much protection as possible against the mozzies, then frankly nothing beats it. Each squirt from this product will last a solid six hours before you’ll need to re-apply. Like most DEET-based sprays, it gives off a very distinct odour. But even if it’s one that you dislike, here’s the good news: the mosquitoes dislike it even more.

Nonrefillable container. Before disposing, empty the container by using the product according to the label. Do not reuse or refill this container. Place in trash or offer for recycling if available. Not only can the itching drive you crazy and leave you covered in nasty, red-coloured bumps, but mosquito bites can come with more serious risks too. For instance, in tropical parts of the world, mosquitoes can carry diseases such as dengue, West Nile virus, malaria and yellow fever. In such cases, you’ll want to avoid mosquitoes at all costs.What’s the one thing that’s most likely to spoil a sunny holiday above anything else? Mosquito bites. So, it’s a good idea to equip yourself with the best mosquito repellent before jetting off. The main downside, as you’ll notice from the photo, is that the unit has a two-pin plug, as it’s primarily designed for Europe and other holiday destinations. So to use it in the UK, you’ll need a 2-pin plug adapter. And while prallethrin is safe for pets and kids, the makers advise that pregnant women should steer clear. DEET-based formulas might be effective, but they’re simply not suitable for smaller kids. If you’d prefer an all-natural mosquito repellent that’s also suitable for little ones, take a look at this spray from Incognito. The company has revealed very little about its formula, but you can rest assured that it’s totally free of DEET or any harmful chemicals. It doesn’t seem to work for absolutely everyone, but it lasts for five hours and is approved by the Vegan Society. Read the instructions to see if you need to shake your AUTAN® aerosol. If so, shake first, and then hold it 6-8 inches [15-20cm] away from exposed skin and clothing. Spray in a slow sweeping motion. No need to let it “set”—it works immediately.

Autan Family Care Repellent – Mosquito Protection, Dry Spray Autan Family Care Repellent – Mosquito Protection, Dry Spray

The most effective and long-standing chemical used in mosquito repellents is N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide, better known as DEET. The US Army has been issuing it to its troops since the 1940s. In recent decades, there have been a few medical reports suggesting there are links between DEET and health problems, but ultimately none of them has been substantiated. The Jungle Formula brand makes all kinds of mosquito repellent lotions and sprays, but this diffuser is particularly effective and easy to use. Its odour-free prallethrin insecticide vapour kills and wards off mosquitoes, midges and other small flying insects for up to 450 hours. So if you switch it on for 10 hours every night, it’ll be a month and a half before you need to buy another 35ml refill. You get one bottle in this box, along with the diffuser. That’s more than enough to see you through a holiday in a bug-friendly climate, or through a balmy period of summer. It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Read and follow all directions and precautions on this product label. Hold container 6 to 8 inches from skin or clothing and spray with a slow sweeping motion. Do not apply over cuts, wounds, irritated or sunburned skin. Do not spray in enclosed areas. Use just enough repellent to cover exposed skin and/or clothing. Avoid over-application of this product. Frequent reapplication and saturation are unnecessary. Do not allow children to handle this product. Do not apply to children’s hands. When using on children, apply to your own hands and then put it on the child. After returning indoors, wash treated skin with soap and water. Spread evenly with hands to moisten all exposed skin. TO APPLY TO FACE: Products that are designed to control a specific pest - for example antimicrobial products that kill microorganisms or insecticides for use against bugs - are regulated by the European Union through a number of directives and regulations including the Biocidal Product Regulation.

TO APPLY TO FACE: Spray palm of hand first and then apply sparingly and avoid eyes. Do not spray directly onto face. Do not apply near eyes and mouth. Apply sparingly around ears. Do not apply to children's hands. When using on children, apply to your own hands and then put it on the child. I have no idea what's in Autan but it seems to work better than any American product I have tried and it's not all that expensive. Much of DEET’s bad rep, we would say, is due to a general disinclination towards using chemical products right now, which isn’t helped by its unpleasant smell. We’ve included all-natural alternatives below, but if you really want to keep mosquitoes away, DEET remains the best choice. Shake well before using. Keep vertical at 15-20 cm from the skin and spray in a slow, circular motion, around 1 to 2 seconds per forearm. Spread with hands to cover all exposed skin. Reapply as indicated when the effectiveness begins to diminish or when the period of protection is reached. After returning inside, wash skin with soap and water.
