Repel

- Hamilton is the Australian distributor of the Repel range of tropical strength insect repellants, made by New Zealand company Apex Health & Nutrition.

- The Repel range provides long lasting personal protection against potentially disease carrying mosquitoes, sandflies, midges, ticks, bed bugs and leeches.

The active ingredient in Repel is DEET, which is one of the most effective ingredients in preventing bites. The World Health Organisation strongly advises bite prevention in the form of personal insect repellents containing DEET, recommending levels of no more than 30-40%.
