Is there a product stronger than "OFF" that would be effective enough to prevent stings?

Question

Hello, I am leaving for Costa Rica in February. There are many spiders and insects that bite and sting. Is there a product stronger than the "OFF" that would be effective enough to avoid bites? Thank you for your help! Thank you very much, it is much appreciated! Have a nice day, [name removed to maintain confidentiality]

Hello madam, for it dEET-based products, you should look for the maximum concentration, i.e. 30%. There is also icaridine. These products are mainly for mosquitoes and black flies. Physical measures are recommended for other insects such as wearing long sleeves and using mosquito nets. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist It was my pleasure, have a good trip :)
