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 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 or the best protection from bites. We recommend using it 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.

 *** No smell, no nasties, no bitey flies ***

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.

DON'T FORGET TO ORDER A TRIGGER SPRAY - ONE SHOULD LAST AT LEAST A SEASON

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

The product works for a period

The product works for a period, not for long enough to fully protect my horse for a reasonable length of time.

Icardin spray - game changer

This is our 3rd summer using the Icardin spray. We are in north east Scotland and have a lot of midgies to contend with. I use it on both myself and my pony, it’s amazing to see the flies buzzing around but not landing in us. Major perk is that it doesn’t stink like many fly sprays (useful when you have to visit the supermarket on the way home from the yard).
As instructed you need to mist it on all over so that the flies can’t find you, so you do use quite a bit of it but it is really effective so worth every penny!
