Bug safety

Insect repellents containing DEET are the most effective products against ticks and mosquitoes. Ticks can transmit Lyme disease and mosquitoes can transmit West Nile Virus. Insect repellents containing DEET should not be used on children younger than 2 months. DEET should not be applied more than once a day and should not be applied under clothing or on the hands and face.
