DEET is an insect repellent generally used on exposed skin or on clothing, to discourage 

biting insects.

1. DEET has a broad spectrum of activity, effective as a repellent against mosquitoes 

(Culicidae - Mosquitoes (Family)), biting flies, chiggers, fleas and ticks

2. DEET is available as aerosol products for application to human skin and clothing, 

liquid products for application to human skin and clothing, skin lotions, impregnated 

materials (e.g. towelettes, wristbands, tablecloths), products registered for use on 

animals and products registered for use on surfaces.
