Use Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered insect repellents containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535, Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus (OLE), para-menthane-diol (PMD), or 2-undecanone.
Always follow product instructions.
Do not use products containing OLE or PMD on children under 3 years old.
Cover skin with long-sleeve clothing and pants to minimize exposure to bites.
Flea bites often occur on the lower legs and feet, protect these areas with long socks and pants.
Treat clothing and gear with products containing 0.5% permethrin.
Permethrin can be used to treat boots, clothing and camping gear and remain protective through several washings.
Alternatively, you can buy permethrin-treated clothing and gear.
