What makes Mosquit-ex unique?
Mosquit-ex is a Diethyl Toluamide (DEET) based insect repellent, offering effective protection against mosquitoes and other biting insects for up to 11 hours after one application. Mosquit-ex is unique because of its slow release formula. This means you get protection from mosquitoes longer. This is a huge advantage, for example when sleeping with open windows in the summer time or sleeping outdoors. Mosquit-ex is a milky white lotion which is odourless after 2-3 minutes. It is non-sticky and invisible when applied.
The itchy insect bites
Most insect bites are harmless, but they feel unpleasant or may hurt. Mosquito bites usually itch. In some regions, however, insects can also transmit diseases, such as yellow fever and malaria. The only way to stop mosquitoes from finding you is to confuse their chemical receptors, and mosquito repellents containing DEET do just that. DEET interferes with the mosquitoes' sense of smell, making it more difficult for them to find you. DEET-based insect repellents provide protection for longer periods than other repellents.
