Works great! But like DEET, picaridin does have a proven track record of safety. It appears that after a certain concentration, a maximum effectiveness is reached and additional concentration only leads to a longer protection time.
Minimal drawbacks: Aside from picaridin, the other EPA-approved repellents that we considered have at least one major drawback. Oil of lemon eucalyptus PDF also available as the synthetic PMD is an extract of the eucalyptus tree and not approved for use on anyone under the age of 3 picaridin and DEET are both approved for babies as young as 2 months of age. After testing, we realized that the biggest drawback to OLE-based repellents is that they smell really, really, really bad.
We also evaluated a number of products containing permethrin , which is particularly useful against ticks and is also EPA-approved. Unlike the others, permethrin is meant to be used on clothing and gear like a backpack or tent , but not directly on skin. Permethrin should be used in addition to a skin-applied repellent, not in lieu of one. Once properly applied to clothing, permethrin remains effective for roughly six washings. When used correctly, permethrin is extremely effective.
A decent spray bottle: A good repellent is wasted in a bad bottle. The best ones apply repellent in an even coat with limited overspray. Kids are squirmy, so getting repellent on them takes precision, as does applying spray to the neck and shoulder area. Locking caps are also a plus, prohibiting an accidental spray and providing one more barrier for a curious child to overcome.
We looked at both pump sprays and aerosols. Some manufacturers offer repellent lotions. We have more thoughts on these below. We did not test for efficacy of the individual repellents for a few reasons.
First, there are simply too many variables to account for in order for us to make sweeping statements on repellency.
Is the spray nice and even? Does the repellent bottle have any safety features? Is it likely to activate when stuffed into a backpack? Are there any overwhelming odors? Compared with the other picaridin-based repellents we looked at, the Sawyer pump spray applies repellent the most evenly, with the least amount of overspray. As we outlined above , this chemical has the most positives and the fewest negatives of any EPA-approved repellent.
Compared with other pump sprays, the Sawyer offers the most even cloud of repellent. With the Sawyer repellent, it was easiest to get even coverage on an arm or a leg. Aerosol sprays are much harder to control and result in a lot more overspray.
They also make it difficult to spray areas near the face, like the shoulders. This is much harder with an aerosol can. As a pump spray, this repellent is sold in 3-ounce and 4-ounce sizes. You might find a twin pack for a per-unit discount—retailers tend to rearrange the configurations, so poke around. It is also available in a 6-ounce aerosol twin pack , which offers a continuous spray.
We found it harder to use than the pump spray, but it offers the same protection if the pump spray is out of stock or if you simply prefer the aerosol format. The only real downside to the Sawyer picaridin repellent is that it had a slight off-smell to it when we first applied it. Once it dried, which took only a couple of minutes, the odor dissipated to nearly nothing, so this is only a minor gripe.
Sawyer stood out due to the even spray, double cap, wide range of sizes, and easy availability. We found and tested five other brands, and even though they have some drawbacks—mostly centered on the spray pattern—they are all valid options if the Sawyer repellent is not available. We like that the Proven repellent has a completely clear bottle, which makes it easy to see how much is left. Some of these brands have scented options. Natrapel has a light floral scent, and Proven and Ranger Ready come in a variety of scents as well as odorless versions.
Defense Insect Repellent is available in both an aerosol and a pump spray we generally prefer pump sprays. This one comes only in an aerosol can, which produces a dense and focused spray that we found harder to use than the others.
This makes application on feet and shoes much easier. Natrapel Tick and Insect Repellent aerosol spray can spray upside down too. We think that these provide solid repellency for a long enough to recommend.
Just know that with these, there is the more-limited coverage time. In fact, they appear to be nearly identical, down to the red spray nozzle. The odor and general feel are the same. So be careful when using it around your camera, rain jacket, and laminated trail map. That said, this spray nozzle applied more evenly than others we tried, and a handy twisting lock on the spray cap helps prevent it from accidentally depressing and discharging in a bag or backpack.
Instead, this odorless spray is used to treat clothing or other pieces of gear, like a tent or a backpack. Once dried, it maintains protection for up to six washings or about six weeks on gear and shoes. You treat clothes and gear with permethrin in advance, then apply a picaridin or DEET repellent as you head into the Peruvian jungle. The pump spray also comes in a large, ounce size for the biggest jobs. The differences between the permethrin options are less pronounced than with the other types of repellents we recommend.
The need for a super-precise spray pattern is not as important here, because it gets sprayed on a large object instead of, say, your ankle, wrist, or the back of your neck. By far the most important thing to look for is EPA approval and the presence of 0.
Permethrin is not applied like a regular repellent. Each item needs to be fully treated, and that means it needs a thick coat of spray. Sawyer recommends taking each item outside and coating it until the moisture causes the fabric to darken.
At that point, the permethrin needs to fully dry before something is worn. According to the TickEncounter Resource Center permethrin fact sheet, a pound person would have no adverse health effects even if exposed to 32 grams of permethrin in a day, and a bottle of clothing treatment has less than 1 gram of permethrin. But it is important to know that permethrin is toxic to cats. We tested both, and they do have advantages.
Repellent lotions have two major downsides. There is no way to get them onto your shoes or boots for added tick protection. The same goes for a backpack or a tent. Second, Conlon told us that after application, lotions take about 20 minutes to start repelling bugs. Sprays, like those we recommend, are more immediately effective. The upside of a lotion is that its effectiveness lasts longer than that of a spray. The lotion may also be easier to apply to difficult areas, like the back of the neck, or on a particularly squirmy child.
As with the spray bottles, Sawyer has the widest selection of sizes, ranging from single-use packets to a 1-gallon container. Proven is available in 2-ounce and 6-ounce versions. So there are advantages to take note of, but we think most people would be better served by a spray repellent.
