Hedgewitch icaridin is a human insect repellent that provides an effective alternative to DEET. It contains Icaridin at 20%, judged to be as effective as 50% DEET by the World Health Organisation. It is one of just three active ingredients recommended for use in malarial regions and can help protect against other nasty diseases carried by insects.

Its key strength is to provide protection from biting flies such as mosquitoes, midges, horseflies, sand flies, fleas, and ticks. Suitable for use on children over 2-years and sensitive skin.

Hedgewitch icaridin contains no added fragrances, so you don’t have to smell like a perfumery to keep insects at bay. It works by confusing biting insects’ ability to accurately locate you so they aren’t able to land. Good coverage is essential for the best protection from bites and we recommend using with our adjustable trigger spray, adjusted to mist, for best results.

Perfect for a quick spritz before any summer outdoor activities e.g. walking, gardening fishing, or for an evening BBQ to keep biting midges away. Icaridin is also perfect to take on your holidays for protection against mosquitoes.

Summary info

How it works: Icaridin is nature-modelled, a copy of piperidin which occurs naturally in black pepper plants. The way icaridin works really is magic, it makes you almost invisible to biting insects. Even though they may still buzz around, they have trouble locating you accurately enough to land.

Less packaging waste: The bottle is supplied with a plastic top, all fully recyclable.

It contains Icaridin at 20%, judged to be as effective as 50% DEET (and you can't buy it that strong) by the World Health Organisation. It is one of just three products recommended for use in malarial regions and can help protect against other nasty diseases carried by insects.

It’s been a nightmare dealing with flies of all sorts shapes and sizes this year

It’s been a nightmare dealing with flies of all sorts shapes and sizes this year . I’ve been through my cupboard and tried everything else on site .This is the only one that gave me cause to smile as the second I sprayed it the flies were gone and they didn’t chance a quick check .

A GAME CHANGER!

I really should do a ‘before Icaridin’ and ‘after Icaridin’ photo of my horses. It’s been a game changer and honestly makes their lives so much more comfortable without swarms of flies crawling over them and horse flies chomping on them! And happy horses means happy me too 😁

No Flies on Me !

Daily use of this product has meant that my horses have had a fly free summer. We have not been troubled by horse flies or bots . I don't use fly rugs as there is no need .
