Insect repellent is a substance applied to skin, clothing, or surroundings to discourage insects like mosquitoes, flies, and ticks from landing or biting. It is important because many insects cause irritation, allergic reactions, and can spread diseases. Repellents work by masking human scents or producing smells insects avoid. Common types include sprays, lotions, creams, and natural oils. Using insect repellent helps people stay comfortable outdoors, reduces itching and infections, and supports public health, especially in warm climates and during outdoor activities such as camping, sports, and travel. Proper use also protects families and communities from unnecessary health risks.
