MAXI DEET Insect Repellent

Sawyer's exclusive low-odor DEET formula provides maximum protection. Since 1984, Sawyer Products has been offering innovative solutions for safeguarding against sun, bugs, water, and injuries. They provide everything from wilderness first aid kits to point-of-use water filters that purify contaminated water to levels cleaner than U.S. bottled water.

Sawyer MAXI DEET is highly effective against mosquitoes and ticks for up to 10 hours. By offering DEET in its pure form, it gives users more control over application and requires fewer re-applications. Ideal for use in areas with high bug density, the low-odor MAXI DEET bug-repellent from Sawyer Products can protect against mosquitoes, chiggers, fleas, gnats, black flies, biting flies, ticks, and the diseases they carry. It can be applied to exposed skin areas as well as mosquito nets, head nets, and clothing. For complete body repellency, it is recommended to use MAXI DEET in combination with Sawyer Permethrin Spray. It is also compatible with sunscreens, including Sawyer Stay-Put.

Some common questions include whether DEET protects against flies. While it offers some protection, Sawyer's Premium Insect Repellent with 20% Picaridin is more effective against flies. It is also important to note that DEET should not be applied to certain materials like acetate, rayon, or spandex.

For those looking for both sunscreen and insect repellent, Sawyer recommends using Stay-Put Sunscreen Lotion and Picaridin Insect Repellent together. Sawyer's insect repellents provide superior protection against disease-carrying insects, including those that transmit the Zika Virus.

Apart from insect repellents, Sawyer also offers a range of outdoor products such as water filters, sunscreen, and first aid kits. Their products, like the MINI Water Filter and Stay-Put Sunscreen, are designed to provide maximum protection and convenience for outdoor activities. Sawyer's commitment to innovation and quality ensures that users stay safe and comfortable during their outdoor adventures.
