Powerful, on insects - gentle on skin
Odourless, DEET-free, non-toxic long-lasting protection against mosquitoes, flies, lice and ticks.
All Gurkha Protec repellents have the same powerful protection but the different formulations allow you to choose how often to apply. The aerosol protects you for up to 10 hours, the Active and Tick repellent spray protects you for up to 8 hours and the lotion protects you for up to 6 hours. Perfect for protecting all the family for active travel, family holidays and daily use.
Gurkha Protec Active Spray is one of only a few insect repellents to
be registered in the EU for Tropical Use.
As the climate changes, insects carrying insect-borne diseases have also become more threatening in European countries that were previously thought to have been too cold. A small insect bite can be the start of a serious disease such as Malaria or Leishmanaissis.
IR3535® is the active ingredient in all our insect repellents (known as ethyl butylacetylaminopropionate [EBAAP] to scientists) and it quietly keeps its promise. If you’re looking for a highly effective DEET-free product, Gurkha Protec Insect Repellent is an excellent option giving up to 10 hours protection day to night.
Gurkha Protec IR3535® insect repellents shield you without harming your health or the environment.
