Ahhhhh . . . the beauty of an outdoor adventure. The fresh air. The quiet. The sweet smell of plants, trees and flowers. The great outdoors can be invigorating, but at times, it can also be a bit harsh; especially if you're being bothered by mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers and gnats.

Protecting yourself and your loved ones

Whether you're hiking, camping, fishing or hunting, there are a few steps you can take to help keep the pests away. Wear light colored clothing (insects are actually more attracted to dark colors), apply an OFF!® personal insect repellent to your skin and clothing, and use OFF!® area repellents to protect your campsite.

Choosing the right products

For hiking and camping, use OFF! Deep Woods® repellent. It's specially designed to give you effective, long-lasting protection, especially in wooded areas. For hunting and fishing in extreme bug biting situations, use OFF! Deep Woods® Sportsmen repellent, which provides maximum protection for situations where bugs are at their worst.

To protect your campsite, set up an OFF!® PowerPad® Lamp or Lantern to protect areas up to 15 ft. by 15 ft. You can also spray your campsite, including foliage, with the OFF!® Yard & Deck Area Repellent II.

Without the constant bother of biting insects, your outdoor adventure can become what it's supposed to be—relaxing, invigorating and fun.
