Product Review

Ideal for use on exposed skin in areas of extreme bug density, low-odor Maxi-DEET bug-repellent from Sawyer Products offers up to 10 hours of protection against mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers, fleas, and gnats and the diseases they carry. In addition to applying to your skin, Maxi-DEET can be used on mosquito nets, head nets, and clothing. Use in combination with Sawyer Permethrin Spray for full body repellency.

Offering DEET in its pure form (98.11 percent active ingredient), Sawyer Maxi-DEET gives you more control on how much you apply and requires fewer re-applications (compared to other lower-dosage DEET aerosol sprays). Maxi-DEET is also less bulky and weighs less than other DEET aerosol sprays.

Since 1984, Sawyer Products has offered the best, most technologically advanced solutions for protection against sun, bugs, water, and injuries -- everything from first aid kits developed for wilderness to point-of-use water filters that filter contaminated water to levels cleaner than U.S. bottled water.
