About Sawyer

Since 1984, Sawyer Products has offered some of the most technologically advanced solutions for protection against sun, bugs, water, and injuries — everything from first aid kits developed for wilderness to point-of-use water filters that filter contaminated water to levels cleaner than U.S. bottled water.

Sawyer MAXI DEET

Effective against mosquitoes and ticks for up to 10 hours

Offering DEET in its pure form, Sawyer MAXI DEET gives you more control on how much you apply and requires fewer re-applications.

Ideal for use in areas of extreme bug density, the low-odor MAXI DEET bug-repellent from Sawyer Products can be used on exposed skin areas to protect against mosquitoes, chiggers, fleas, gnats, black flies, biting flies, and ticks and the diseases they carry. In addition to applying to your skin, MAXI DEET can be used on mosquito nets, head nets, and clothing.

Use in combination with Sawyer Permethrin Spray for full body repellency
Compatible with sunscreens (including Sawyer Stay-Put)

Frequently Asked Questions

Does DEET Protect Against Flies?

Some yes, but mostly no. If flies are going to be an issue, we recommend using Sawyer’s Premium Insect Repellent with 20% Picaridin (which was reviewed by Consumer Reports as the Fisherman’s Formula in its list of safe and effective insect repellents in February 2016). Picaridin is much more effective against flies than DEET, especially at 20% which is higher than other Picaridin formulas available on the market.

Is DEET Safe to Use on Clothes or Equipment?

DEET should not damage cotton, wool, or nylon. However, it should not be applied to or near acetate, rayon, spandex or other synthetics, furniture, plastic, watch crystals, leather, and painted or varnished surfaces (including cars).

Can I Wear a Repellent with a Sunscreen?

Yes. If you need both types of protection, we recommend using Sawyer Stay-Put Stay-Put Sunscreen Lotion. First apply the Stay-Put bonding base sunscreen, then apply the Sawyer Picaridin Insect Repellent after 10 minutes. The bonded sunscreen is less susceptible to the solvents contained in the repellent, including sprays if you use them.
