Are 20% Picaridin/Icaridin mosquito repellent sprays available in Thailand?

[PadPrikKhing]

I ask because I looked these up on Lazada a couple of months ago, and found some, yet now when I looked today the search finds none (same at Shopee). 

 

Do they sell this type of repellent in drugstores? I don't want to use DEET at all, and everything about Picaridin sounds good (non-toxic, no odor, etc.). I am planning to rely on it as my main defense against mosquitos when out and about, and I'd like to be assured that I can find it easily. Thanks guys.

Try boiling Lemon Grass and using the resulting water to rub on yourself. Apparently mosquitos don't like it

Is that what you rely on, even with dengue being a threat? I've heard that tip as well, but I don't know that I'd count on it as the main repellent.

I know it does work against mosquitos. I never really get bit by them but my wife has tried it and it worked for her. Dengue is carried the same was as other forms of Malaria so there is no reason the thing Dengue is different in the contraction method. You can get sprays based on Lemon Grass an the pharmacies

I'm one of those people who gets bitten very frequently and I get huge, angry, quarter-sized welts when I do, so I need to go with whatever works best (that isn't DEET). Picaridin sounds like it really works well (at 20% and higher concentration) and since it's non-toxic and odorless, I can't imagine anything better. I'm really just wondering if it's available in stores.

Plenty of options so make your choice

[KhunBENQ]

I buy "Soffell" (11% citronella oil).

Cheapest at Makro, four spray bottles in a pack.

Malaria is unheard of in our region. I don't fear that.

The real threat is Dengue fever and related hemorrhagic fevers.

I've been using Sawyer's 20% Picaridin since Consumer Reports named them the best.

 

Brought it from the US, and bought more from Amazon and had someone in the US ship it to me.

 

No problems with using it.

 

A few years ago I looked for it in Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam but never found it.
