Choosing a mosquito repellent

The most reliable skin repellents use DEET, picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus — all proven to stop mosquitoes biting. For babies, young children and sensitive skin, gentler formulas and stick-on patches are worth considering. We link to well-reviewed options on Amazon; pair them with insect screens at home for the best protection.

Frequently asked questions

Which mosquito repellent is most effective?

Repellents with DEET or picaridin give the longest, most reliable protection; oil of lemon eucalyptus is a good plant-based alternative. Concentration affects how long it lasts, not how strong it is.

Are mosquito repellents safe for babies?

Use a repellent formulated for infants and follow the age guidance on the label. For very young babies, physical protection like a cot net is often the better first choice.

Do repellent patches and bands work?

Patches and bands mainly protect the small area around them, so they work best as a supplement — on prams or clothing — rather than as full-body protection.
