Insect repellent to keep the bugs at bay

Discover Healthylife’s comprehensive range of insect repellents and treatments, tailored to keep you protected from pesky bugs. Our selection includes brands like Aerogard, Bushman, and BitePatch, offering everything from powerful DEET insect repellent sprays to natural insect repellents and soothing itch-relief patches. Whether you need a repellent for tropical adventures or a gentle option for kids, our products cater to all needs.

What are the different types of insect repellents?

Insect repellents can be broadly categorised into several types. Synthetic repellents include chemicals like DEET, picaridin and IR3535. Natural repellents are derived from plant sources, such as citronella, eucalyptus and lemon oils. 

Volatile compounds, present in both synthetic and natural repellents, work by creating a scent barrier that mosquitoes avoid. Formulated products like lotions and sprays deliver these compounds effectively. Additionally, wearable devices like ultrasonic bracelets and patches claim to repel insects.

How do insect repellents work?

Insect repellents work by using volatile substances to deter insects from landing on or approaching the treated area. These substances can mask attractants or create an unpleasant environment for the insects. Repellents like DEET and picaridin interfere with the mosquito’s ability to detect carbon dioxide and body odours, which are key attractants. 

Natural repellents, such as citronella and eucalyptus oil, employ similar principles by emitting strong scents that mosquitoes find repulsive. The effectiveness of repellents depends on their ability to deliver these compounds to the insect’s sensory receptors, thereby preventing them from biting and reducing disease transmission.

What bugs do insect repellents work on? 

Insect repellents are primarily designed to deter mosquitoes, which are major vectors for diseases like malaria and dengue. They also may repel other biting insects, such as fleas, ticks, and certain types of flies. Some repellents may work on other pests like chiggers and midges. Check the product packaging for more details.

Is it safe to use insect repellent on your skin?

Using insect repellents on the skin is usually considered safe when applied according to guidelines. Some individuals may be sensitive to certain ingredients so it’s best to check with your healthcare professional if you’re unsure.

Chemical repellents like DEET, picaridin, and IR3535 are effective but may cause irritation if used excessively or under sunscreen. 

Plant-based repellents, such as oil of lemon eucalyptus may irritate sensitive skin.

It’s important to follow recommended application instructions and apply sunscreen to your skin first before using an insect repellent. Always choose the appropriate repellent based on your needs and skin sensitivity and consult your healthcare professional for advice about using insect repellents safely.
