Safe application of repellents is important to prevent mosquito bites, get optimal protection and avoid any harmful side effects. Here are some simple and effective tips to use the repellent cream and sprays:

• Apply the repellents to exposed skin, clothing, or both, but not under clothing.
• A thin layer can be applied to the face by dispensing repellent into the palms, rubbing hands together and then applying to the face.
• Repellent should be washed from the palms after application to prevent contact with the eyes, mouth and genitals
• Do not use repellents over cuts, wounds, inflamed or irritated skin Use just enough repellent to adequately cover the exposed part. A mosquito can even bite on coin size unprotected spot.
• Heavy application or applying a thick layer will not increase the effectiveness
• Do not apply repellent to the hands of small children, as it can get rubbed into their eyes
• Length of protection varies with the amount of active ingredient, air temperature, amount of physical activity and perspiration, water exposure and other factors
• Re-apply repellents according to label instructions
• The areas treated with repellent should be washed with soap and water once the repellent is no longer needed
