Comparative Efficacy of Insect Repellents against Mosquito Bites
Mark S. Fradin,John F Day +1 more
TL;DR: Currently available non-DEET repellent products do not provide protection for durations similar to those of DEET-based repellents and cannot be relied on to provide prolonged protection in environments where mosquito-borne diseases are a substantial threat.
