I love deet, but the deet lotions and some other deet liquids are only 20-75% Deet.
I use the 95-99% Deet stuff and it would work for a good at leat an 1/2 hour on up to about an hour even for them hungry litte critters. The Deet lotions/liquids that are -25%-75% just don't last that long in my experience.
 
Permethrin, I think is that stuff that kills lime ticks, and probably a lot of other critters.
I did not know you could buy it? without a persciption...

Summer of  Kelly Kinneen ;
 
Used Deet lotion (20%) and bugs would stay away for only 10 minutes.
He Wants something better than that.
REI Recommends another deet based lotion, and Permethrin to wash clothes in before trip.....
