Summit Launches PreVent Insect Repellent Range

Posted on Apr 14th, 2014

The new and exciting range from Agropharm LTD which Summit is the exclusive distributor. 

Excited over an insect repellent? Well yes, and here is why; PreVent is a 100% natural product which is proven to not only repel mosquitoes but also a whole host of other noxious insects such as midges, sand flies, horse flies, ticks, fleas, wasps and more. It’s a highly effective range of insect repellent and anti-bite agent suitable for the whole family that’s easy on the skin and environment, providing outstanding results. 

  • PreVent Pump Spray: Suitable for the whole family and easy to apply.
  • PreVent Aerosol: A slim pocket sized travel companion. 
  • PreVent Cream: Easy application, excellent coverage and good on the skin. Ideal for kids.
  • PreVent Wipes: Ideal for day trips. 
  • PreVent Bite and Sting Relief: Dabber pen for instant relief. 
  • PreVent Scentrel Candle: Ideal for clearing rooms, tents and sheltered areas of insects for 24 hours.
  • PreVent 7x7 Scentrel Candles: A week’s worth of protection, 1 candle a day offers 24 hours protection.

The PreVent Scentrel Candles are of particular interest. Long lasting, far reaching and unlike citronella proven to actually repel more than just mosquitoes. 

New and unique the Candle Repellent is ideal for travel and home and will effectively clear a room, tent or sheltered outdoor area of insects. It’s not the candle that’s insect repellent; the ceramic ring is infused with 100% natural pyrethrim. This active repellent agent is warmed by the candle, diffusing the scent over a wide area and repelling all irritating insects. 

Why is PreVent better than DEET, the traditional and most common active ingredient in insect repellents since the 1950s? DEET is an effective solvent with a known history of damaging several common plastics and fabrics. Its own packaging advises that DEET should not be applied under clothing and must be removed before re-application and before bed, when protection may be needed most, particularly if camping.

PreVent does not have any of those problems. Containing pryethrin from African chrysanthemums, this natural product is designed for safe and effective use on adults and young children. It works so well even professional Pest Controllers use it. 

Unlike DEET products, the PreVent range is a natural repellent which works by suppressing the insect’s ability to move its biting mechanism. So even if an insect landed on skin it would not be able to bite. How frustrating for the little bleeders. 

PreVent products have been tried and tested in the UK with amazing results, proving that the range is a fast and effective way of deterring mosquitoes, flies, midges (including the Scottish midge), ticks, fleas and wasps. In fact, the company that came up with this recipe actually had a human volunteer place an arm in a cage of 200 mosquitoes for 7 hours and measured the results. Click here to their results.

Summit International are always looking for innovative and eco-friendly ideas, and PreVent meets that requirement with a range of tested and proven eco-friendly products designed for effective pest control with minimum impact on the environment.
