Rid Tropical Strength + Antiseptic Pump Spray - 100ml

RID Tropical Strength + Antiseptic Pump Spray is a 100ml insect repellent that repels disease-carrying mosquitoes for up to 8 hours and includes an antiseptic to help care for bites you have already collected. It is built for high-mosquito and tropical conditions - apply it to exposed skin before you head outdoors.

Why choose RID Tropical Strength with antiseptic

The eight-hour claim is the reason people reach for the tropical strength version rather than a general repellent. In northern Australia, the tropics and anywhere with a serious dusk mosquito load, a repellent that needs reapplying every two hours is a repellent that will be missed at least once - and one missed window is all it takes. Longer protection is a practical safety feature, not a convenience.

The antiseptic is what separates this from a plain repellent, and it addresses a real sequence of events. Most people apply repellent only after they have been bitten - the itch is the reminder. This formulation covers both halves: it repels the next mosquitoes while the antiseptic helps look after the bites already there, which matters because scratched bites are how skin infections start in humid conditions.

The 100ml pump spray format is deliberate. A pump gives controlled application to exposed skin without aerosol propellant or overspray, it is not pressurised, and it is a sensible size for a daypack, a boat, a caravan or a work vehicle. Apply to exposed skin before heading outdoors rather than waiting until the mosquitoes find you.
