According to a recent survey by OFF!® brand, only one-third of Americans consistently take measures to protect themselves from ticks, which can be found in various habitats, including grassy backyards and wooded areas. To combat ticks and other insects, EPA-registered repellents containing DEET are recommended by the CDC. OFF!® Deep Woods® repellents, formulated with DEET, offer long-lasting protection from mosquitoes, biting flies, gnats, and chiggers, with OFF!® Deep Woods® Insect Repellent V providing up to eight hours of mosquito protection with 25% DEET.
“The percentage of DEET on the label corresponds to the duration of protection from insects,” explains Dr. Beachgem, a pediatric ER doctor and advocate for OFF!® brand’s insect repellents.
