Premium MAXI DEET Insect Repellent

From the manufacturer, Sawyer's exclusive low-odor DEET formula provides maximum protection. Since 1984, Sawyer Products has offered technologically advanced solutions for protection against sun, bugs, water, and injuries -- everything from first aid kits developed for wilderness to point-of-use water filters that filter contaminated water to levels cleaner than U.S. bottled water.

Sawyer MAXI DEET, effective against mosquitoes and ticks for up to 10 hours, offers DEET in its pure form, giving you more control on how much you apply and requiring fewer re-applications. Ideal for use in areas of extreme bug density, the low-odor MAXI DEET bug-repellent from Sawyer Products can be used on exposed skin areas to protect against mosquitoes, chiggers, fleas, gnats, black flies, biting flies, and ticks and the diseases they carry. In addition to applying to your skin, MAXI DEET can be used on mosquito nets, head nets, and clothing. Use in combination with Sawyer Permethrin Spray for full body repellency. It is compatible with sunscreens, including Sawyer Stay-Put.

Frequently Asked Questions: - Does DEET Protect Against Flies? Some yes, but mostly no. If flies are going to be an issue, we recommend using Sawyer's Premium Insect Repellent with 20% Picaridin, which is more effective against flies than DEET. - Is DEET Safe to Use on Clothes or Equipment? DEET should not damage cotton, wool, or nylon, but it should not be applied to or near acetate, rayon, spandex or other synthetics, furniture, plastic, watch crystals, leather, and painted or varnished surfaces. - Can I Wear a Repellent with a Sunscreen? Yes, if you need both types of protection, we recommend using Sawyer Stay-Put Stay-Put Sunscreen Lotion. First apply the Stay-Put bonding base sunscreen, then apply the Sawyer Picaridin Insect Repellent after 10 minutes.
