Description
With a revolutionary new formula, Expedition MAX DEET mosquito repellent has been developed to replace the Expedition 100+ insect repellent but with half the amount of DEET. It combines the proven performance of 50% DEET with unique DermaLOC® technology that locks the repellent on the surface of the skin to provide long lasting protection from malarial and non-malarial mosquitoes.
Expedition MAX can be applied multiple times a day to provide round-the-clock protection. It can also be applied to larger areas of exposed skin (e.g. wearing shorts and t-shirt), unlike many other high-strength repellents on the market. This makes it practical in real-life conditions, especially in warmer climates.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the DEET concentration in this mosquito repellent?
This Lifesystems expedition max mosquito repellent has 95% DEET, which offers the highest strength protection against mosquitoes and other insects.
How long does the protection last after applying the mosquito repellent?
This mosquito repellent can give up to 10 hours of protection once applied. However, factors such as sweating or swimming may reduce its efficiency, which after this could need to be reapplied.
Is this mosquito repellent suitable for children?
Due to the high level of DEET in this mosquito repellent, it is not recommended for children under 12 years to use it. Consider using repellents with less DEET, or DEET free mosquito repellent for children.
Is this repellent effective against other insects besides mosquitoes?
This mosquito repellent is highly effective against a range of biting insects, such as midges, ticks, horseflies, and sand-flies. The high level of DEET should allow a broad-spectrum of protection.
How should I apply the repellent for maximum effectiveness?
It is recommended to apply sparingly to exposed skin. It is important when applying the mosquito spray to avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and broken skin. After applying, make sure to wash your hands to prevent rubbing the spray into the eyes or mouth. You can reapply the mosquito repellent as needed. The spray should be applied after sweating or swimming for maximum effectiveness.
Are there any precautions I should be aware of?

Highly flammable: It is crucial to keep the spray away from heat sources and open flames.

Avoid inhalation: Only use this mosquito spray in a well-ventilated area to prevent inhalation.
-
Skin sensitivity: If any skin irritation occurs, do not continue to use the mosquito repellent, and wash the area with soap and water.
Can this mosquito repellent be used in conjunction with sunscreen?
When using both sunscreen and insect repellent, make sure to apply sunscreen first and allow it to absorb before applying the mosquito repellent.
