The Best Bug Repellents
We’re currently testing two new sprays—Ben’s Tick Repellent and Proven Insect Repellent—and two new lotions, the Proven Mosquito and Tick Lotion and Sawyer Products Premium Insect Repellent.
For a bug blocker that’s safe and effective—and won’t stink or leave a puddle of oil on your skin—skip the DEET and get a picaridin formula like Sawyer Products Premium Insect Repellent with 20% Picaridin. It’s the best bottle of bug spray we found after testing 15 repellents and talking to everyone from the EPA to the American Mosquito Control Association.
