DEET’s Environmental Impact – Why It’s Time to Switch

💧 DEET in the Environment

Once sprayed, DEET doesn’t just stay on your skin — it washes off into water systems. Concentrations as low as a few parts per billion can disrupt aquatic ecosystems.

 

🐠 Toxicity to Wildlife

Fish, amphibians, and insects exposed to DEET show behavioural and developmental changes. The more we use, the more it accumulates downstream.

 

🧪 Persistent Pollutant

DEET is chemically stable, meaning it can linger for years.
Many countries are reviewing limits for tourist and household use because of this.

 

🌿 The Sustainable Alternative

Citriodiol® offers equal protection with natural biodegradability.
When broken down, it returns harmlessly to the environment — no build-up, no toxicity.

♻️ Switch smart: Camo® Citriodiol® Range – effective protection that respects nature.

 

🌍 Your Impact Matters

By choosing natural repellents, you protect more than your skin — you protect ecosystems.


Small choices, big results.
