Frequently Asked Questions

Is Picaridin as Effective as DEET?

Picaridin is the perfect balance of efficacy, safety, and user-friendliness. It repels a wide variety of pests including mosquitoes, ticks, biting flies, sand flies, gnats, chiggers, and midges.

One of the longest lasting repellents available, it provides up to 14 hours of protection against mosquitoes and ticks (using the lotion; up to 12 hours for spray models), and up to 8 hours against a variety of flies, chiggers, and gnats.

Is Picaridin Safe for the Whole Family?

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the active ingredient Icaridin (which is how Picaridin is known around the world) as the product of choice for malaria prophylaxis.*

Icaridin is recommended by the Public Health Agency of Canada’s Canadian Advisory Committee on Tropical Medicine and Travel for travelers six months to 12 years of age.**

  • Non-greasy, Fragrence Free, Odorless
  • Picaridin won't damage plastics or synthetic coatings

SP543
Should I Use a Lotion or Spray Repellent?

Lotions last longer than sprays. Sprays have the advantage of being able to be applied to clothing where it remains effective longer than on skin. Since repellents work as a 3 inch barrier, clothing applications can often protect 6 inches away from exposed skin, reducing your usage on skin. For optimal protection Sawyer recommends lotion on the skin and spray on the clothing.

Am leaving Nairobi airport after visiting several rural villages for a volunteer project. My doctor’s office recommended Sawyer’s, both the spray and lotion. I used both each day and truly kept mosquitoes away. I am now a devoted customer as I head back to rural Maine with lots and lots of ticks and mosquitoes

5.0 out of 5 stars Usually first bit & worst bit, I'm shocked how well it worked
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2024
Verified Purchase
I feel like all my childhood summers could've been better if only we'd used this.

I'm one of those people who gets 20-30 mosquito bites before anyone else gets their first one. For a road trip in Feb of last year, we planned to drive through the Everglades, so I bought this but didn't use any when we changed the route. A few months of PNW spring made me forget that the reason I picked it was because it's safe even for 6-month olds, remembering it as Serious Protection but mistakenly remembering it might be a little too scary-pesticidey and not for typical use. Last summer I used mostly citronella stretch bands and they worked, but I'd have to wear 2-3 and sometimes they felt a little irritating on my skin. Plus the smell. I should've been using this instead.

I went on a hike on Friday with the stretchy bands, one on a wrist, ankle and my neck, got a few bites (and a few looks). Went on another hike on Sunday and grabbed this instead... No smell, no looks, no bites; it was like the mosquitoes completely avoided me for the entire afternoon/evening. (Ok there's a SLIGHT smell right after application that you only notice when it's first put on your face, but it doesn't linger.) The only mosquito that even got CLOSE to me landed on the inside brim of my hat and then quickly left. It felt like a tiny miracle, no joke. It kept working even after I got home.

Granted, it's not peak mosquito season and we're not peak mosquito territory near Seattle, but it should be in your arsenal.

I might keep a few of those stretch bands around for times I forget to put it on, but I'm buying a couple more bottles to keep in my truck & hiking gear, this stuff was great. Ten stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY able to enjoy summertime again!
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2024

I would be remiss if I didn't give this product a ringing endorsement. I am the one that will always get multiple bites by mosquitoes when everyone else gets none or maybe a few. I am the one that get where long sleeves and long pants, even in the sweltering summer heat so that I can try to avoid being bitten. I am the one that will reluctantly wear the OFF bugspray, because feeling greasy and stinking is still better than getting eaten alive. I am the one that gets welts that swell to the size of half dollars every time I get bitten, then wake up in the night, feverishly scratching. I had gotten to the point that I hated summer, even though I think the weather is perfect at that time of year.

Picaridin - where have you been all my life!? I ordered this after talking with someone on vacation who I complained about the mosquitoes to. She and I were kindred spirits in our mosquito-affliction, and she shared the secret of Picaridin with me. It is inexpensive, goes on easily and rubs in completely with no white residue. It has zero odor. I wore it all week in the evenings on a recent trip to Jamaica. It left me feeling slightly - very slightly - sticky, but that also could have been the humidity. I got zero bites. ZERO. All week in the Caribbean. Jesus wept.

Buy it.

We always use this on hikes and our bites go waaay down. I keep it in our backpack to reapply as needed. Insects love biting me and I'm allergic to a lot of them, so this is indispensable for me to enjoy the outdoors. This small container lasts our household for a long time. I rub it on my ankles, wrists, and neck. I also apply to our children. It makes a HUGE difference. I've tried a lot of insect repellents and this is the only one that has worked for me.

Living in mosquito and tick infested Tennessee can really put a damper on summertime activities. I do a good bit of backpacking in the Linville Gorge areas of Western NC as well. My honest assessment is that this works. It goes on fairly dry. Not as oily as you might expect. Very low odor as well. The ingredients are certainly less harmful than the alternatives. I keep this within easy reach during the summer and I take the packets on backpacking trips. Give it a try! I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Used this on a bird photo tour in Cuba in April of 2024. No obnoxious smell. Did not feel greasy. Its active ingredient does not affect plastics on camera gear like DEET. I did not test the effectiveness more than about 2 hours but, during the 2 hours I was exposed to mosquitoes in a large pasture, I did not sustain a bite even though my group and I were exposed to LOTS of mosquitoes. There were times when I had 4-6 mosquitoes on my long sleeved shirt but none bit my exposed head and hands.

No smell, and easy to apply, but greasy as hell for the entire day. After applying to my body, I realized the design from the tote bag I was carrying rubbed off and applied to my skin like a temporary tattoo! I had giant smiley faces all over my legs and arms which was hilarious but my skin was greasy the entire day so after that I was careful not to rub against anything - in shorts and tank tops, that was not the most fun. I reverted to other options after trying this.

I needed a replacement for the Maxi Deet that I can no longer get. In truth, the Maxi Deet had an offputting smell and leaked no matter how many caps they put on it. But...it worked in the field.

I've used this product for my last few trips (Panama, Mexico, Ghana) and had no issues with mosquitos at all. Flies are another issue, but the Deet didn't work on them either (I'm pretty sure that fly mothers use Deet to season the carrion they feed to their children).

The reviews on this are all over the place. I say it works...and it doesn't smell nor leak.

I'll keep this as short as possible. I hate Deet spray, it is nauseating, oily and damages plastics. The citric bug spray is a scam.
In comparison this stuff works great. Has a very mild smell, is non oily and gets easy coverage. I'm not gonna lie though, there are a fair amount of safety warnings on the bottle so I do wonder how often we should use any of these repellents.

But, if like me you are a paradise for bug biters, this is the stuff to get. I was out on a rainy muggy day in the woods and was not bit once nore any time after while wearing it.

Used this daily in Vietnam during January. It didn't stink or feel clammy, which is important in a hot country! Didn't get bitten very much, maybe just a handful of times so I think it worked mostly. Although I did get one ferocious bite that got infected, but antibiotics are cheap there too and available over the counter.
