No bug repellent will work in every situation or against every pest. You should research the diseases carried by mosquitoes and other insects and ticks where you plan to spend time outside, and choose the best product accordingly. 

EWG has recently updated our advice for avoiding bug bites to address current repellant trends and bug-borne diseases. For more information, be sure to check out EWG’s updated guide to bug repellants.
