Back To The Wild Extra Strength Insect Repellent

Built for camping adventures, brutal sandfly zones, and deep backcountry missions

Powerful natural insect repellent—bush-proven where it matters most, our Extra Strength Insect Repellent is the strongest natural formula we make. Created for serious outdoor use, it’s been field-tested in some of Aotearoa’s most notorious bug hotspots. But not just in Aotearoa, our customers have now taken this insect repellent far and wide internationally with the same great results!

During testing, a DOC hut warden said:
“If it works here, it’ll work anywhere.”

And sure enough, it did work there - and everywhere.

Formulated with a potent blend of insect-repelling essential oils, this repellent keeps sandflies, mosquitoes, and biting bugs at bay—so you can focus on the trail ahead, not the itch behind. Whether you’re hiking the Heaphy, camping on the West Coast, or tramping deep into Fiordland, this repellent has your back.
