Canstar Blue surveyed 1,450 Australians for their feedback on the insect repellent brand(s) they’ve purchased and used in the last 12 months.
The winning brand is the one that receives the highest overall satisfaction rating once all the scores from the overall satisfaction criteria are combined and averaged.
Brands must have received at least 30 responses to be included, so not all brands available in the market have been compared in this survey. The brands rated in this survey are listed below in order of best overall satisfaction.
