insect repellent
Anti-bite lotion
Insect repellent is a substance applied to skin, clothing, or surroundings to discourage insects from landing or biting.
Most repellents contain DEET, picaridin, or natural oils like citronella.
Don't forget the insect repellent—the mosquitoes are brutal this time of year.
Also called bug spray or bug repellent.
