PICARDIN INSECT REPELLENT FAQS

HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO NATURAL INSECT REPELLENTS?

Yes. All Zone Insect Repellents are registered with the EPA.

CAN YOU SPRAY IT ON CLOTHING/SHOES?

Yes. It is effective for keeping ticks and other bugs from attaching to your shoes, socks, and pants.

IS IT SAFE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT?

Yes. There are no impacts on the environment if a bottle of our repellent is spilled.
