There is no one right answer to this question. The various concentrations of DEET are out there to address different needs. As a general rule, higher concentrations of DEET will offer longer-lasting protection, but this effect tends to level out at concentrations of DEET over 50%. Under most circumstances of casual use, 10% – 35% DEET will provide adequate protection. However, there are certain conditions in which using a higher concentration of DEET may be preferable.
