Lower concentration products are appropriate for most outdoor environments. Never use DEET on infants. Refer to the product label for DEET concentration information. Repellents that contain citronella, an extract from a lemon-scented grass, are also available. These products provide moderate protection against mosquito bites.
Products containing permethrin are also available.
These products are for use on outer clothing only. Do not apply permethrin to the skin. Please check old labels and carefully discard repellents with these ingredients listed. Use precaution when using mosquito repellants. Use just enough repellent to cover exposed skin and clothing.
