The mozzie nets should be impregnated with insecticide.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Which insect repellent is best, and how do I use it?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Insecticides ideally contain DEET. Use the spray for clothes and nets. The sprays designed to use on clothing have a concentration of up to 100% DEET. The\u00a0lotions, cream or sticks are used directly on the skin and contain up to 40-50% DEET.<\/li>\n<li>DEET Concentration of 20 to 50% repels mosquitos effectively for 6 to 13 hours.<\/li>\n<li>DEET is considered safe in pregnancy (animal studies in early pregnancy, human studies from 12 weeks on) and in children over 2 months of age. This advice is confirmed in a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/350\/bmj.h99\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BMJ 2015 review of mosquito repellents<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Apply the repellent to all exposed skin except the face. Apply <em>before<\/em> sunscreen the repellant reduces sun protection factor of the sunscreen by around a third.<\/li>\n<li>Alternatives to DEET are PMD (lasts around 5 hours), Icaridin (up to 6 hours) &amp; IR3535 (shorter proection against the Anopheles species so don&#8217;t use in malaria regions).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div
