There are many mosquito repellents with different active ingredients sold under different brand names in New York City. Active ingredients approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and New York State for protection against biting mosquitoes are DEET (N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide), picaridin (KBR 3023), and oil of lemon eucalyptus (citriodiol or p-Menthane-3, 8 diol.) Repellents containing these active ingredients have been found to be effective for repelling mosquitoes for different lengths of time.
