Mosquito repellant is extremely important while camping. Mosquitos along with fleas and no-see-ums carry diseases such as west nile virus , dunguen, malaria,(which is almost non existant in this country), a that can harm humans at any age especially the young, elderly and sick. Mosquito repellant should be worn 24 hours a day while camping and hiking, Especially during the hotter months when one tends to sweat, mosquito control is important to be continually reapplied. Mosquitos flourish in stagnant water where campers might be near, and not know it.

DEET (N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide) is an FDA approved chemical that repells pests. It is meant to be worn on clothes and skin open to the elements. Even if you are going to be out 10 minutes, it is enough to be bitten! Our mosquito repellant is 70% DEET, th e best you can get. The army uses it. It is great for our men in uniform; then it is certainly great for our families. .gif)
