A mosquito repellent that really works

Ben’s Max mosquito repellent contains the highest permitted amount (50%) of the active ingredient DEET (N,N-Diethyl-meta-tolyamide), which is considered the most effective insect repellent developed so far. Unlike alcohol-based repellents, this DEET spray is made with water, so less repellent evaporates from the skin. It repels insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, moose flies and other pesky insects that can spread Lyme disease, Zika virus, West Nile virus and dengue fever (most of them only abroad). Due to its effective effect, very little of Ben’s Max is used, and it’s extremely light to carry in a backpack or anywhere else.

How to use the mosquito repellent to help?

Spray small amounts on clothing and skin, avoiding direct contact with face. The product has a light but pleasant smell, so all memories of intensely and unpleasantly smelling mosquito repellents will remain only memories with Ben’s Max.
To effectively control ticks and fleas, spray the product on shoes, socks and trousers as well.

Safety of a mosquito repellent depends on use

Remove the protective cap and spray about two pumps of the product into the hand to apply to the skin and clothing, holding the spray directly away from the face. Do not inhale while spraying! Do not spray on wounds, scratches or irritated skin.

Ben’s Max Insect Repellent is safe for use on the skin. However, there are exceptions, as with any substance or medicine. Therefore, the product is not recommended for children under 10 years of age and pregnant women.
