Pyramid Trek 50 Insect/Mosquito Repellent Deet Spray - 100ml

Product Information

Unlike many insect repellents on the market, Trek Ultra has a slightly thicker consistency due to its micro-encapsulated formula. Granted, it’s not a one-off purchase: these silicone bands last for two weeks before you’ll need to use another. It’s also worth noting that DEET based repellents reduce the effectiveness of your sun protection, so you should always opt for SPF30 or SPF50 (definitely go for SPF50 if you’re of the red-headed persuasion like me! Note that natural repellents are never as effective as stronger ones, and evaporate faster, but are ideal for mild climates or for use on children or people with sensitive skin. Not only can the itching drive you crazy and leave you covered in nasty, red-coloured bumps, but mosquito bites can come with more serious risks too.

Pyramid Trek 50 Deet Mosquito Repellent Spray – 60ml Pyramid Trek 50 Deet Mosquito Repellent Spray – 60ml

Anyone who dislikes using DEET mosquito sprays will find this Avon insect repellent spray to be the perfect alternative. The most effective and long-standing chemical used in mosquito repellents is N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide, better known as DEET. The slim bottle is easy to pop in your pocket, and the spray is water resistant enough to stay put if you sweat, and lasts all day with one reapplication. Trek Ultra is available in a 60ml and 100ml size, both of which are suitable for packing in your hand luggage. You will also need to re-apply it after more active activities such as trekking…it may be sweat-resistant but it won’t withstand excessive perspiration.

And while prallethrin is safe for pets and kids, the makers advise that pregnant women should steer clear. Ben’s MAX does feel oily and thick on the skin, so it may not be suitable for those with sensitive skin, or if you don’t like to feel a repellent is there - it’s also a tad sticky even when dry. Upon application, you’re immediately protected but unlike DEET filled mosquito sprays, this one requires more frequent applications throughout the day. A big smack of 50% DEET makes Pyramid’s popular spray a reliable choice for international travels – this is the dosage we recommend if you may be travelling anywhere where dengue Fever, zika Virus and other diseases are present. DEET, a chemical solvent that’s considered the most effective repellent available, is safe when used as prescribed, but is very strong in concentrated form.
