3. Bug Repellent
One of the most effective methods for keeping bugs at bay is conventional bug sprays or creams. If you’re wondering why these actually work, the answer is that most insect repellents contain an ingredient called DEET. In fact, the more DEET these have, the more effective they are.
Some folks don’t like DEET-based creams or spray for various reasons, such as the smell and potential for eye and skin irritation. Despite these issues, these products do a really good job. So, even if you use it as a last resort, it’s always a good idea to bring some traditional bug spray with you while camping.
Make sure that your bug spray is also waterproof, and don’t forget to spray repellent on your clothes, shoes, and hat as well. Avoid inhaling this spray directly, and if your skin tends to get irritated, avoid direct contact if possible.
