Frequently asked questions
How long does Rid Low Irritant repellent last?
Rid Low Irritant + Antiseptic provides up to 6 hours of protection against biting insects under normal conditions. In hot or humid weather, after swimming, or with heavy perspiration, reapply every 3 to 4 hours for continuous protection.
Is Rid Low Irritant safe for babies?
Rid Low Irritant is safe for children 12 months and older. For infants under 12 months, use physical barriers such as a mosquito net and clothing rather than chemical repellents. The 7% DEET concentration is the lowest in the Rid range, making it the gentlest option for young children.
Does Rid Low Irritant work on sandflies and midges?
Yes. The 7% DEET formula repels mosquitoes, sandflies, midges, biting flies and most other Australian biting insects. For severe sandfly or midge environments, choose a higher-strength repellent like Rid Tropical Strength.
What does the antiseptic do?
The benzyl alcohol component provides mild antiseptic action that helps protect skin where bites do occur, reducing the chance of infection from scratching. It also has a light cleansing effect, useful when reapplying repellent over previously bitten skin.
