Mosquito Spray in Mosquito Repellent(558)

Choosing the right mosquito spray depends on your skin sensitivity, activity, and environment. Consider these points:

• Active Ingredients: DEET and Picaridin are common and effective, but some prefer botanical options for sensitive skin.
• Duration of Protection: Check how long the spray protects; some offer up to 14 hours.
• Fragrance: Some sprays are fragrance-free, which is better if you prefer no scent.
• Formulation: Sprays, lotions, and wipes offer different application styles.

At Walmart, you can find a variety of options to suit your needs and preferences.

Applying mosquito spray safely ensures effective protection and reduces risks. Follow these tips:

• Apply spray outdoors or in well-ventilated areas.
• Keep the spray away from eyes, mouth, and open wounds.
• Spray on exposed skin and clothing, avoiding over-application.
• Wash hands after applying to avoid accidental contact with sensitive areas.
• For children, apply spray to your hands first, then gently rub on their skin.

Always read and follow the product instructions for safe use.

The duration of mosquito spray protection varies depending on the active ingredient and product formulation. Typically:

• DEET-based sprays can protect for 4 to 8 hours, sometimes longer with higher concentrations.
• Picaridin sprays often provide up to 14 hours of protection.
• Botanical or plant-based repellents may offer shorter protection times and might need more frequent application.

Environmental factors like sweating or water exposure can reduce effectiveness, so reapplication might be necessary during extended outdoor activities.

Yes, many mosquito sprays are designed for use on both skin and clothing to maximize protection. Here's what to keep in mind:

• Check the product label to confirm it's safe for fabric application.
• Spraying clothes can help repel mosquitoes even if skin protection wears off.
• Avoid spraying near your face or sensitive areas when applying to clothing.
• Some sprays are formulated specifically for gear and clothing for longer-lasting effects.

Using spray on clothes along with skin application can enhance your overall defense against mosquitoes.

Accidental contact of mosquito spray with eyes can cause irritation. If this happens:

• Immediately rinse your eyes with plenty of clean, lukewarm water for several minutes.
• Avoid rubbing your eyes, which can worsen irritation.
• If irritation persists or vision changes, seek medical advice promptly.
• To prevent this, apply spray carefully and avoid spraying near your face.

Always follow safety instructions on the product label to minimize risks.
