From Consumer Reports:

Quote:
The World Health Organization has declared the rapid spread of the Zika virus—which has been linked to serious birth defects and is transmitted mainly by mosquitoes—an international public health emergency. In response to this growing threat, Consumer Reports is releasing free to the public its exclusive test results and Ratings of mosquito repellents (download a PDF of the Ratings)—including those that will protect you best against Aedes mosquitoes, the type that carry Zika.
Click for February ratings.

In the latest ratings, Ben's 30% Deet Tick & Insect Wilderness Formula comes in second with a 93 overall score. Sawyer Picaridin 20% is still number one with a 96.
