Repellent

Repellent: Insect Repellent

Repellents are topically applied products containing chemical or natural active ingredients and are used to ward off ticks, mosquitoes, and other arachnids and biting insects.

Insect repellents differ in their active ingredient.

The active ingredients are perceived by the insects through their sense of smell and deter them. Furthermore, the active ingredients form a protective layer over your skin, so that your own body odor is masked, and you are therefore not even perceived as a host by insects.
