DEET (Cat No.:I001323) is a widely used insect repellent effective against mosquitoes, ticks, and other biting insects. It works by interfering with the sensory receptors of insects, making it difficult for them to locate humans through chemical cues. DEET is available in various formulations, including sprays, lotions, and wipes, and provides long-lasting protection against vector-borne diseases like malaria, dengue, and Lyme disease. Known for its safety when used as directed, DEET is a trusted choice for outdoor activities, travel, and personal protection in insect-prone regions worldwide.
