insect repellant that contains at least 30% DEET for adults e.g. Repel. Tropical Strength RID with 20% DEET was OK to use on our 18month old toddler (but we only used a little bit around his neck, wrists, ankles and forehead and I sprayed his clothes with Tropical Strength RID to reduce the amount we actually put on his skin). I would also recommend spraying your clothes too and if possible, wear long sleeves and pants in a light colour where possible (I wore linen and light cotton). Hope this helps.
