It’s easier to keep calm and paddle when you don’t have mozzies buzzing around your ear!

Mozzies love to hang out around water, so if you’re kayaking this summer be sure to pack repellent to keep mozzies away.

Repellent that contains ingredients like DEET, picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus are most effective against mozzies and will protect you for longer.

Always follow label instructions and remember to apply after sunscreen.

Mozzies are more than just a nuisance – some carry viruses like the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV). The best way to protect yourself is to avoid bites.
