40(ish) Wirecutter Picks for Gardeners
[...]
Everyone should avoid bug bites, which are annoying at best and debilitating (or even lethal) in worst-case scenarios.
For a bug repellent that’s safe and effective—and that won’t stink or leave a puddle of oil on your skin—skip the DEET and get a picaridin formula, like Sawyer Products 20% Picaridin Insect Repellent. It’s the best bottle of bug spray we found after testing 23 repellents and talking to everyone from the EPA to the American Mosquito Control Association.
Our pick:

Sawyer Products 20% Picaridin Insect Repellent - This EPA-approved picaridin formula is safe and effective, and it comes in a bottle that’s better than that of competitors at spraying evenly and accurately.
