FAQ

What is the most effective mosquito repellent?
Mosquitoes breed in water-filled habitats like puddles and plant containers. All of our repellents protect against mosquitoes and we have different formulas for all your outdoor needs– some contain SPF, some are best for exposure at dawn and dusk and some are even water-resistant. In fact, Bug Guard water-resistant lotions protect against mosquitoes that may carry the Zika virus.

 

I’m planning a trip. Which bug spray should I pack for travel?
All of our repellents are great to use for on-the-go protection, especially when you’re traveling by ground transportation or you’ve packed liquids and aerosols in your checked on luggage. Don’t forget – for carry-ons, the TSA requires all liquids and aerosols to be less than 3.4 oz, so stock up on Bug Guard Plus Picaridin Towelettes for easy stowing in your carry-on bag.

 

What is the most effective protection against Lyme disease?
300,000 cases of Lyme disease are diagnosed each year.* Bug Guard is the only DEET-free brand with SPF that repels deer ticks that may transmit Lyme disease.
