Enjoy safe protection for your whole family* with Watkins Great Outdoors Insect Repellent Lotion. This convenient lotion repels mosquitoes that may carry the West Nile Virus or potentially deadly strains of encephalitis, and because it repels deer ticks, it can prevent the very serious threat of Lyme Disease. It also repels biting flies, chiggers, gnats and fleas. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the most effective repellents for protection against West Nile Virus and encephalitis-carrying mosquitoes are those that contain DEET. In a test conducted by the New England Journal of Medicine, non-DEET products offered little or no protection, while DEET-containing products provided full protection for several hours. According to these researchers, DEET has a remarkable safety record after 40 years of use and remains the gold standard for protection from disease-carrying insects, as well as Lyme Disease-carrying ticks, and biting flies, chiggers, gnats and fleas. Researchers recommend an insect repellent that contains 20 to 30% DEET; repellents with more than 30% DEET offer no added protection. Watkins Great Outdoors Insect Repellent Lotion contains 29.55% DEET for effective, long-lasting protection. Our new lotion was first marketed in Canada — where insects are serious business — and is one of our best-selling products there. Now we’re pleased to make it available to our American customers.
