What the AI looks for in Insect & Pest Repellent Body Wipes
- Individual packaging
- Prefer individually sealed wipes over resealable tubs Tub wipes dry out and lose active ingredient once the tub is opened.
- Active and strength
- Check the label: low-strength DEET is for short family outings, while 20%+ picaridin or 30% DEET is for ticks Wipes come in very different strengths that look alike on the shelf.
- Coverage per wipe
- Expect about one wipe per adult's exposed arms and legs Thin application leaves gaps that mosquitoes find.
Brands that matter
- Cutter: Family-strength DEET wipes in single packets.
- Ben's: High-strength DEET wipes for tick country.
- Repel: Sportsmen-oriented DEET wipes.
What to avoid
- Using wipes on young children's hands, since they put them in their mouths and eyes.
- Unregistered 'natural' wipes without an EPA registration number.
- Reusing wipes that have dried out.
