Premium MAXI DEET Insect Repellent

Sawyer's Exclusive Low-Odor DEET Formula Provides Maximum Protection

Sawyer Products, a company founded in 1984, has been offering technologically advanced solutions for protection against sun, bugs, water, and injuries. From first aid kits developed for the wilderness to point-of-use water filters that purify contaminated water to levels cleaner than U.S. bottled water, Sawyer's products have been designed to cater to the needs of outdoor enthusiasts.

Sawyer MAXI DEET, the company's premier insect repellent, is effective against mosquitoes and ticks for up to 10 hours. Offering DEET in its pure form, Sawyer MAXI DEET gives users more control over the amount they apply, reducing the need for frequent re-applications. Ideal for use in areas with a high density of bugs, the low-odor MAXI DEET bug repellent can be applied to exposed skin areas to protect against mosquitoes, chiggers, fleas, gnats, black flies, biting flies, and ticks, as well as the diseases they carry. Additionally, MAXI DEET can be used on mosquito nets, head nets, and clothing, and is compatible with sunscreens, including Sawyer's Stay-Put formula.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Does DEET Protect Against Flies? While DEET is effective against some flies, Sawyer's Premium Insect Repellent with 20% Picaridin is more effective, particularly for flies. Picaridin is much more potent than DEET in repelling flies.

Is DEET Safe to Use on Clothes or Equipment? DEET should not damage cotton, wool, or nylon; however, it should not be applied to or near acetate, rayon, spandex, or other synthetic materials, furniture, plastic, watch crystals, leather, and painted or varnished surfaces, including cars.

Can I Wear a Repellent with a Sunscreen? Yes, you can. Sawyer recommends using their Stay-Put Sunscreen Lotion first, applying the bonding base sunscreen, and then applying the Sawyer Picaridin Insect Repellent 10 minutes later. The bonded sunscreen is less susceptible to the solvents in the repellent.

Sawyer's Full Range of Insect Repellents In addition to MAXI DEET, Sawyer offers a range of insect repellents, including Picaridin, Premium Family Controlled Release, and Permethrin for clothing and outdoor gear. These products provide superior protection against disease-carrying insects, including the yellow fever mosquito that carries the Zika Virus.
