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.

This is the first fly spray I’ve found that actually works

This is the first fly spray I’ve found that actually works, I wouldn’t buy anything else

Very impressed.

I'm really impressed with the Hedgewitch icaridin insect repellent - my warmblood is super sensitive to fly bites and won't tolerate field time when the flies are bad. This product has been a total game-changer! Resulting in almost no serious bites and welts this year and a happy horse in the paddock.

Perfect!

Perfect! Don’t like deet based products but this was perfect! Didn’t smell horrible and wasn’t oily/greasy!! But most importantly no ticks and horse flies took a wide berth when we were weeding!!!

This really works! Doesn't smell or stain clothing. Non greasy.

Works well - I used to regularly get bitten before discovering this product. I put some in a travel spray bottle to go to the Caribbean a couple of years ago and was very pleased with it. The only time I got bitten was if I'd missed a patch or hadn't bothered to reapply if I'd got particularly sweaty. I particularly like that it's safe to spray on clothing, which is convenient, and doesn't contain Deet. It lasts well too - I've only just had to buy a second bottle (the first one having lasted more than 2 years).
