About Sawyer

Since 1984, Sawyer Products has offered one of 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.

Sawyer Controlled Release Family Insect Repellent

Effective against Ticks and All Mosquitoes For Up To 11 Hours

Odorless, non-greasy, and sweat resistant, Sawyer Premium Controlled Release Insect Repellent is effective against ticks and all mosquitoes (including those that carry West Nile virus).

This formula controls DEET exposure by encapsulating DEET in a protein that dissolves slowly, releasing the DEET over a longer period of time. The controlled release of DEET extends the duration of an application’s effectiveness up to 11 hours.

Odorless, non-greasy, and perspiration resistant lotion
Compatible with sunscreens (including Sawyer Stay-Put)


Frequently Asked Questions

How Does Sawyer’s DEET-Based Controlled Release Formula Work?

An excellent choice for parents who are concerned about their kids’ exposure to DEET, Sawyer’s Controlled Release with 20% DEET — particularly over the course of a week of backpacking or at summer camp. It’s also ideal for anyone who requires repeated use of insect repellent.

A time-release mechanism in the formula controls the evaporation of the DEET, allowing it to keep working all day (up to 11 hours), while still being virtually odorless, non-greasy, and effective against ticks and mosquitoes.

Should I Use a Lotion or Spray Repellent?

Lotions last longer than sprays. Sprays have the advantage of being able to be applied to clothing where it remains effective longer than on skin. Since repellents work as a 3 inch barrier, clothing applications can often protect 6 inches away from exposed skin, reducing your usage on skin. For optimal protection use lotion on the skin and spray (such as Permethrin) on clothing.

Can I Wear a Repellent with a Sunscreen?

Yes. If you need both types of protection, a controlled release insect repellent lotion (like Ultra 30) is the most compatible topical repellent for a sunscreen. First apply the Stay-Put bonding base sunscreen, then apply the Sawyer Picaridin Insect Repellent after 10 minutes. The bonded sunscreen is less susceptible to the solvents contained in the repellent, including sprays if you use them.
