repellent Logos and Brands

Manufacturers of insect, tick, and other pest repellents are listed in the “Repellent” section. OFF!, Raid, Repel, Sawyer, and dozens of regional brands produce sprays, lotions, bracelets, and fumigators that protect against mosquitoes, gnats, and ticks during leisure and everyday life in tropical regions. The logos of the brands in this section feature images of a shield, a crossed-out insect, and a protective barrier, visually promising safety from bites. The repellent market is seasonal and geographic, and companies in this sector operate at the intersection of the chemical industry and consumer health, where product effectiveness is measured in hours of protection against carriers of malaria, dengue fever, and Lyme disease.
