Apply repellent whenever you are going to be outdoors. Mosquitoes often are most active at dusk and at dawn but also during the day in tropical locations. Always remember to use insect repellents safely and read the product label and instruction before use.
You can find information on our product page, and also on the product labelling.
When visiting any country with a risk of insect transmitted disease, you should use a product from the Jungle Formula Maximum range, which all contain 50% DEET and are endorsed by the Hospital of Tropical Diseases. It is also recommended to consult a doctor or travel clinic for information on malarial medication or vaccinations.
For travel to countries where the is risk of insect transmitted diseases use Jungle Formula Maximum range which comes in aerosol, pump spray and roll on formats.

Mosquitoes, midges and other biting insects.

Jungle Formula plug in kills mosquitoes and other small insects.
We recommend using a Jungle Formula most suited to the destination you are travelling to and our Kids products for children aged under 12. Jungle Formula Plug In and Bite & Sting Spray can be used in conjunction with the other Jungle Formula products.
We recommend that you apply sun cream before the insect repellent. Once the sunscreen is dry the insect repellent spray can then be applied. This method of application is best to maintain the effectiveness of both the sun cream and the repellent.
The Jungle Formula Maximum products contain 50% DEET, which is approved by the Hospital for Tropical Diseases for travellers visiting tropical areas with a high risk of malaria and other insect transmitted diseases. 50% DEET is widely recommended by GP’s and travel clinics when visiting countries where insect transmitted diseases are endemic.
The Medium range contains 20% DEET which is suitable for non-tropical destinations.
Our Outdoor & Camping, Kids Lotion, Kids Slap-It Bracelet, Bite & Sting Spray and Plug-in/Refill products do not contain DEET.
DEET is the common name for N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide. It’s been in use as an effective insect repellent for decades and is approved as an insect repellent by the World Health Organisation. It is recommended for use in tropical destinations at risk of insect transmitted diseases.
IR3535 similarly to DEET is also an active ingredient used in insect repellents and its full name is Ethyl butylacetylaminopropionate. IR3535 is approved by the World Health Organisation to use as an insect repellent. We use it in our Outdoor and Camping spray and Kids lotion as an effective repellent for non-tropical destinations such as Europe and the UK.
