Lower Concentration DEET products
5-10% DEET
Appropriate for most situations where outdoor exposure is limited to 2-4 hours or insect infestation is minimal.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that products used on children contain no more than 10% DEET.
Higher Concentration DEET products
20-100% DEET
These products are useful for prolonged exposure to areas of high insect infestation (conditions often encountered by sportsmen). High concentration products are also ideal for people who are more prone to insect bites.
Great for hunting, fishing and other longer duration outdoor activities.
