STAYING PRE-TECTED AT THE NATIONAL PARKS

To help outdoor adventurers prepare, the OFF!^® brand, a pioneer in personal repellents for over 65 years, is encouraging Americans to adopt a PREtection ritual. PREtection, a term inspired by expert SC Johnson entomologists who advocate for prevention as the best protection, is the act of planning ahead to reduce risk. The recommended ritual involves applying insect repellent after sunscreen, as a final step of getting ready before going outdoors.

"Before venturing into the wilderness, it's important to be mindful of mosquitoes and ticks," said Dr. Tom Mascari, principal entomologist at SC Johnson's Center for Insect Science and Family Health™. "Although mosquitoes can bite any time of the day, they are most active at dawn and dusk, so schedule your outdoor activities accordingly and wear appropriate clothing, like long sleeves, socks and pants when possible. It's always recommended to apply personal insect repellent to avoid the chances of getting bitten by a mosquito, tick or other biting insects."

For adventurers planning trips to national parks, the OFF!Cast Mosquito Forecast™ provides predictions on mosquito populations and activity levels by ZIP code, helping parkgoers better plan their outdoor activities and optimize their time at the parks. Travelers can depend on OFF!® Deep Woods® for long-lasting protection when venturing into the great outdoors. It offers proven protection against biting insects, including ticks, mosquitoes, black flies, sand flies, chiggers and gnats. It also repels fleas and no-see-ums, so users can enjoy the outdoors uninterrupted.
