Repel Lemon Eucalyptus Repellent provided 120.1 minutes of mosquito protection, more than a repellent with a low concentration of the chemical DEET (Off Skintastic for Kids with 4.75% DEET provided 88.4 minutes of protection) and less than Off Deep Woods with 23.8% DEET, which provided 301.5 minutes of protection.
Bushmans has 20% Deet - not 80% - as someone said.
Deet is toxic chemical more suitable if you are standing in malarial infested jungle in full battle gear, so use with caution.
Maybe just use it around ankles and use other around face, especially with children.
Anything with pyrithrin in it is worth using too, seems only to be toxic to insects, but not widely available?
When they fog your hotel if they do maybe get out for a while, we don't know long term effects of their nice cocktail of chemicals. Don't expect full OHSA compliance.
