Index of Subjects Thanks, Andrew. I have discovered that MEC carries it, but not in our store. Shipping is free however, if you have it shipped to the store. The brand is MOSQUITO SHIELD PIACTIVE INSECT REPELLENT (175ML) @ 9.75. It should repel ticks, mosquitos and black flies, with minimal environmental impact and no significant toxicity, according to the NRDC.*. This is the same as DEET, but it has no odor. (It does sound too good to be true though.) Cheers. Jane *NRDC stands for National Resources Defense Council. -----Original Message----- From: Hebda, Andrew J Sent: Saturday, May 23, 2015 12:04 PM To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Subject: RE: [NatureNS] picaridin redux The active ingredient appears to have been reviewed and approved in Canada under the name Icardin _http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cps-spc/pubs/pest/_decisions/rd2012-05/index-eng.php A _______________________________________ From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] on behalf of Jane&Dave Schlosberg [dschlosb-g@ns.sympatico.ca] Sent: May-23-15 11:31 AM To: NatureNS Subject: [NatureNS] picaridin redux Nobody commented on my request for information on picaridin, but a further search (picaridin canada) yielded the information that it is not yet approved in Canada. I think this product sounds very interesting, especially with the rise in the number of black-legged ticks in the Province. Amazon.ca lists it, in Sawyer Premium Insect Repellant. By the way, the ad says: Will not harm gear and equipment Application effective up to 8 hours 20% Picaridin Spray Picaridin is more effective at repelling biting flies than deet This product is picaridin is virtually odorless; it has a mild citrus scent added to it which quickly evaporates away
