Mosquito Repellent Spray: Ballistol Stichfrei Tropical

Effective against tropical and native mosquitoes – 8 hours of mosquito protection for every journey.

Your next trip to the tropics, forests, or fishing spot is coming up. For decades, Ballistol has stood for effective protection against mosquitoes with the "Stichfrei" brand, reliably preventing annoying bites. The Stichfrei Tropical Mosquito Repellent Spray creates an invisible protective layer on the skin and keeps mosquitoes, horseflies, and other insects at bay.

For this Tropical Mosquito Repellent Spray, Ballistol relies on a powerful combination of 20% Icaridin and 5% Citrepel®, which works even in oppressive humidity. It offers up to eight hours of protection, whether outdoors on a jungle path or camping by a local lake.

Avoid itching and dangerous insect bites with this skin-friendly and dermatologically confirmed formula, which also leaves a pleasant scent for humans. Trust Ballistol and enjoy your vacation without itching.

Apply and the mosquitoes won't bite – it's that simple and relaxing to be "Stichfrei" (bite-free).

Mosquito Repellent Spray for Camping Vacations and Exotic Trips to the Tropics

A beautiful evening outdoors, then that buzzing sound, and suddenly it becomes torture when mosquitoes attack. Hunting for mosquitoes before bed, yet counting new bites in the morning. Every scratched bite burns salty in the sea. Nobody needs these vacation memories!

Thanks to the Tropical Mosquito Repellent Spray, those days are now in the past! Whether in local forests or exotic tropical paradises.

Camping

Campsites offer dreamy nature experiences – but their location near forest edges and bodies of water unfortunately also makes them hotspots for mosquitoes.

Especially in warm, humid weather conditions, these idyllic places transform into real breeding grounds for these blood-sucking pests. The combination of standing water and heat creates optimal conditions for explosive mosquito reproduction.

Whether camping with a tent or RV, you're exposed to nature around the clock when camping. An effective mosquito repellent spray is an absolute essential item.

Ballistol Stichfrei Tropical ensures relaxed evenings around the campfire without annoying scratching and itching. Pack it right next to your camping chair!

Fishing – Whether in Norway or at Local Still Waters

Where there's nature, there's fishing – and where there's water, mosquitoes lurk. The peaceful silence at local fishing spots is often disturbed by the annoying buzzing of bloodsuckers.

But what you experience at German waters is nothing compared to a fishing vacation in Norway! The mosquitoes in Norway are notorious for their persistence and numbers. They can ruin even the most beautiful fishing holiday by the fjord within minutes.

The mosquito repellent spray provides reliable protection, whether you're fishing in the midnight sun of Norway or at the neighborhood quarry pond. Simply enjoy fishing without constantly having to swat at flying pests.

Effective Mosquito Protection for Travel to Tropical Countries

When planning a dream vacation to a distant exotic country, don't forget effective protection against the mosquitoes and other insects lurking there. These are more than just annoying. Especially in the tropics, insects are also carriers of dangerous diseases:

• Caribbean: Paradise beaches and crystal-clear water are enticing – but tiger mosquitoes that transmit dengue fever are widespread here and particularly active during the rainy season. Humid nights full of mosquitoes mean risk of dengue, Zika, and chikungunya.
• South Africa: Whether in the "pure tropical areas" or further south from Limpopo or Kruger National Park to Cape Town, safari adventures are accompanied by the Anopheles mosquito. Anopheles transmits malaria and is mainly active at dusk. The main period is during and after the tropical rainy season from November to April.
• Other regions in Africa: African mosquito species breed year-round and can transmit various dangerous diseases. From West Nile virus to yellow fever.
• Sri Lanka: The tropical island beauty is plagued by dengue-transmitting mosquitoes after the monsoon season (May to September on the southwest coast and November to April on the east coast). The tropical island also houses numerous other mosquito species that can transmit not only malaria but also the painful chikungunya fever.
• India: In the humid-hot regions of the subcontinent, mosquitoes are active year-round, with particular intensity during and after the monsoon season (June to September). The carriers of malaria, dengue, and chikungunya pose a serious threat here.
• Vietnam: Almost all tropical mosquitoes find ideal breeding grounds in the humid coastal regions and rice fields. Especially during the rainy season (May to October), reliable protection against carriers of dengue and Japanese encephalitis, among others, is essential.

With Ballistol Stichfrei Tropical, enjoy your dream vacation without constant worry about mosquito bites and their consequences!

Does the Mosquito Repellent Spray Also Help Against Ticks and Horseflies?

Yes! One spray – triple protection against mosquitoes, horseflies, and ticks!

Stichfrei Tropical is significantly more than just mosquito protection. The contained active ingredient Icaridin reliably protects against painful horsefly bites and simultaneously keeps dangerous ticks away.

The tick risk areas are steadily increasing in both Germany and Austria. Every year, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) reports new regions where TBE (tick-borne encephalitis) diseases occur.

Every tick bite can lead to TBE or Lyme disease.

TBE (Tick-borne encephalitis) can lead to severe brain inflammation, while Lyme disease transmitted by tick bites can cause chronic joint and nerve damage if not recognized in time.

With the spray, you are also effectively protected against these dangers. Whether hiking through risk areas in southern Germany or spending vacations in the Austrian Alps.

Active Ingredient and Other Components of Ballistol Stichfrei Tropical

The Tropical Mosquito Repellent Spray contains 20% Icaridin as its main active ingredient. This insect repellent is one of the most modern and tolerable repellents on the market. Additionally, this active ingredient is enhanced with 5% Citrepel® to provide extra protection against persistent mosquito species in the tropics.

Citrepel® is a highly effective natural repellent developed by Chemian Technology Ltd. The main component p-Menthane-3,8-diol (PMD) occurs naturally in small amounts in Java citronella grass and Eucalyptus citriodora. Through special processing and concentration of these oils, the proportion of p-Menthane-3,8-diol (PMD) in the production of Citrepel® is specifically increased. The evaporating PMD scent repels insects before they can land on the skin. This natural active ingredient shows comparable effectiveness to synthetic DEET, but is completely biodegradable and particularly skin-friendly.

The special combination of active ingredients from Icaridin and Citrepel® ensures reliable protection for up to 8 hours against mosquitoes, ticks, and other annoying insects. Tropical mosquito species such as the Anopheles mosquito (malaria) or the Aedes mosquito (dengue, yellow fever) are particularly effectively kept at bay by this double active ingredient barrier.

The active ingredients are complemented by a gentle carrier base that is ideal for all-day use in tropical environments.

Unlike many other mosquito repellents, the Ballistol Mosquito Repellent Spray Tropical does not contain DEET as an active ingredient.

Difference Between Icaridin and DEET in Mosquito Repellent Sprays

When buying mosquito repellent sprays, you are faced with a choice between the two main active ingredients: Icaridin and DEET. Both are highly effective, but the differences are decisive.

DEET was developed back in the 1940s and is considered the "classic" among repellents. While the active ingredient is effective in disrupting the mosquito's nervous system, it comes with some disadvantages: It can attack plastics such as eyeglass frames or watch straps and cause irritation to sensitive skin. The characteristic odor, often perceived as unpleasant, makes DEET additionally unpopular.

Icaridin, on the other hand, is the modern successor to DEET. It blocks the mosquito's scent receptors. Developed in the 1990s, this active ingredient offers comparable protective effect with significantly better tolerance. Icaridin is considered a particularly compatible repellent that does not irritate the skin, does not attack materials, and has a neutral odor.

How to Apply Mosquito Repellent Spray Correctly for Reliable Protection

Even the best mosquito protection is useless if applied incorrectly. Here's how to optimally protect yourself with Tropical Mosquito Repellent Spray:

• Spray evenly on all unprotected skin areas and rub in thoroughly. Don't forget often overlooked spots like ankles, neck, and the backs of hands!
• Areas under thin clothing also need protection. Mosquitoes easily bite through light summer clothing. Therefore, spray these textiles as well. The spray is suitable for both skin and clothing.
• Note for facial application: First spray the product onto your palms and then carefully distribute it on your face. Avoid the eye area and lips.
• For children, an adult should handle the application and ensure that nothing gets into eyes or mouth.
• Important when combining with sunscreen: Apply the sunscreen first and let it absorb. Only then apply the mosquito repellent.
• Renew protection after swimming or heavy sweating. Even though the spray works for up to 8 hours, intensive physical activity can shorten the duration of effect.

Use insect repellents safely. Always read the label and product information before use.

Contains coumarin, limonene, citral, linalool. May cause allergic reactions.

Content: 100 ml pump spray.

Mosquito Protection for Children and Babies

Ballistol Stichfrei Tropical contains the active ingredient Icaridin and is therefore suitable for children aged 2 and older.

For toddlers and babies, Ballistol has developed special alternatives: The Insect Protection Cream "Stichfrei Kids & Family" reliably protects babies from mosquito bites from the second month of life. This gentle formulation is also optimal during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

The Mosquito Spray Stichfrei Sensitive also offers a good alternative for allergy sufferers, pregnant women, and children from 6 months. With its mild formula, it protects sensitive skin particularly gently.

Important for all products: An adult should handle the application. Spray the product onto your hands and carefully distribute it on the child's skin. Keep away from the eyes, mouth, and hands of little ones.

Additional Protection from Mosquito Bites

Besides our mosquito repellent spray, there are other effective measures against these annoying bloodsuckers:

• Mosquito nets over beds and in tents ensure restful nights. Screens on windows and RV doors keep the pests outside, even when lights are on.
• Wear light, loose clothing with long sleeves and pant legs. Mosquitoes are magically attracted to dark colors and preferentially bite through tight-fitting fabrics.
• Important: Mosquitoes follow human scent! Never leave worn clothing openly in the bedroom and briefly air out before going to bed.

These simple measures perfectly complement mosquito protection for undisturbed vacation days and peaceful nights!
