Maxlab Anti-Insect Spray is a lotion in a spray bottle from the Serbian manufacturer Maxlab – Nature's Laboratory. According to the manufacturer, it protects the skin from mosquito bites and bites of other insects such as ticks and horseflies, and the effect lasts 3 to 4 hours.

How to use
Shake well before use. Apply the lotion to all areas of the body you want to protect, but not around the eyes. For longer protection, apply the lotion again – according to the manufacturer, the effect lasts 3–4 hours.
- Do not apply to wounded or broken skin.
- Do not swallow; avoid contact with the eyes – if the lotion gets into the eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.
- On children, spray the lotion onto your own hand first and then spread it on the child's skin, avoiding the face and hands.
Who is it for?
The spray is intended for adults and, according to the manufacturer, also for children and people with sensitive skin who prefer a formula with essential oils – for an evening on the terrace, a walk in the park or work in the garden. No minimum age is given on the label.
Important notes
- People prone to allergies to essential oils should consult a doctor or pharmacist before use (manufacturer's warning).
- Essential oils (lemongrass, citronella, eucalyptus, lavender) can irritate sensitive skin – test on a small area first.
- For infants and small children, ask a pharmacist before use, as no minimum age is stated.
- In areas with many ticks or where mosquito-borne diseases occur, a repellent with a registered active substance and longer protection is the safer choice.
Pharmacist's advice:
Plant-based sprays work for a shorter time than repellents with DEET or icaridin, so the timing matters: reapply after about 3–4 hours, and sooner after sweating, swimming or towelling. Apply sunscreen first, let it absorb, and only then use the insect spray.
In tick areas, the spray is only one part of protection – wear long, light-coloured clothes, tuck trousers into socks and check the whole body after returning home. If a tick has bitten you, remove it carefully and watch the bite site for a spreading red rash over the following weeks.
