Mosquito repellent is a substance applied to skin or clothing that either confuses the mosquito, or stops the mosquito from lingering on the surface. Natural repellents are usually composed of volatile plant oils, or the natural insecticide pyrethrum. Manufactured insecticides such as DEET are typically more effective and longer lasting, but such chemicals are toxic and can absorbed through the skin. DEET can also damage some plastics and synthetic fibres.
The following things reduce the effectiveness of repellent, so may require more frequent application:
- Sunscreens and perfumes
- Perspiration, rain or swimming
- Strenuous activity
- The consumption of salty foods
