Icaridin: This is a new repellent that entered the U.S. market in 2005
Studies have found Icaridin can work as well as DEET, offering several hours of bug protection. But unlike DEET, Icaridin is odourless and much less likely to cause skin irritation and sudden reactions, such as nausea. It also isn’t greasy and does not ruin plastics or synthetic fabrics the way DEET can.
The repellent is so effective, the World Health Organization recommends Icaridin, alongside DEET, as one of the best choices for preventing mosquito bites that can lead to disease.
In Canada, there are still only a few products that contain Icaridin.

HOW DOES PiACTIVE™ INSECT REPELLENT WORK?
Mosquitoes are attracted to the carbon dioxide (CO2) gas that we exhale. PiACTIVE™ insect repellent, when used as directed, blocks the scent receptors in mosquitoes, making it difficult for them to recognize us as a food source.
