Mosquito repellents with DEET have shown to be the most safe and effective way to prevent mosquito bites. The active ingredient N,N diethyl-m-toluamide, or N,N diethyl-3-methylbenzamide, is referred to as DEET. Repellents containing DEET have an excellent safety record but sensitivities can occur, usually when the product is misused. Read label directions before using any products containing DEET. Citronella and Skin So Soft have mild repellent properties. However DEET products should be the choice when dealing with potential disease carrying mosquitoes.
