Product Description

This new formulation DEET based insect repellent from Coretex allows a reduction in the percentage of DEET to 30% from 55%. In cooperation with the leading manufacturer of the actual DEET chemical product, this new EPA approved water-based technology will give you more than 7 hours of protection with a convenient towelette application. This approved BugX30 EPA formula allows the DEET to be released in a controlled and measured manner, permitting longer lasting performance once obtained only by high concentrations of DEET. Water based formula is non-greasy and non-staining, with very little odor. DEET based insect repellents, such as BugX30, have been shown to be the most effective way of repelling mosquitoes and ticks, providing the highest degree of protection against vector borne diseases such as Dengue Fever, West Nile Virus and Lyme Disease. Effective protection from mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers, fleas, gnats, no-see-ums, sand flies, biting flies, deer flies, stable flies and black flies. Each foil pack contains one 8" x 5" towelette with 7.8 grams of 30% DEET formula. There are 25 foil packs in each box.

This stuff works well, but when it says that it hurts plastic, its not kidding. It took the paint off my dials of my camera when I didn't wash my hands after applying. It also ate through some plastic on my binocular case. Makes me nervous to rub on my skin. But it seemed to work.

Easy to pack. Easy to carry. bought these for travel in 3rd-World countries. Mosquito repellant is a must to avoid a myriad of diseases. This is a convenient and effective solution.

.. and it's not a liquid for TSA screening.

I took these to Costa Rica for a vacation, where we were planning to be hiking in the forest a lot. It worked extremely well and kept pretty much everything that bites away, including a very persistent and small sandfly type thing. I tried another brand that had only 3% deet (this one has 30%) and it actually didn't work at all, and I had to use one of these over the top of the other one. My only complaint and the reason this doesn't get 5 stars, is that this is actually rather greasy and doesn't smell very nice. Hey, I'm a girl....yes, product works extremely well, but aesthetically, would like to suggest something less oily with a nicer smell!! Lastly, when travelling, it is SOOOO convenient to carry these little wipes around in your pocket when in the jungle, instead of a big spray bottle! All in all, a really great product that works!
