Frequently asked questions
Does Aerogard repel sandflies and midges?
Yes. Aerogard Tropical Strength (19% DEET) repels mosquitoes, sandflies, midges, biting flies and most other Australian biting insects. For severe sandfly environments, reapply every 3 to 4 hours.
How long does Aerogard last?
Aerogard Tropical Strength provides up to 6 hours of insect protection per application under normal conditions. Heat, humidity, sweating and swimming shorten the protection window - reapply every 3 to 4 hours in those conditions.
Is Aerogard safe for children?
Aerogard Tropical Strength is suitable for adults and children over 12 months. For infants under 12 months, use physical barriers such as a mosquito net. For toddlers, choose a lower-DEET formula like Rid Low Irritant.
Can I use Aerogard with sunscreen?
Yes, but always apply sunscreen first, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then apply Aerogard on top. Reapplying sunscreen over repellent reduces repellent effectiveness.
