Mosquito repellents are a must in Singapore. Dengue transmission is at its peak during the months of May to September. With more people staying at home during the circuit breaker period, the risk of disease transmission is higher in the housing estates. As such, it makes sense to protect oneself and loved ones with the use of mosquito repellent.
There are basically two types of mosquito repellents – active chemical ingredients and natural ingredients. We highlight here the best mosquito repellents for your use.

3. Antimos301 Mosquito Repellent
Antimos301 is a patented formulation scientifically developed based on Chinese herbalogy study in Asia. It contains 4 active natural ingredients – Citronella, Pine Oil (from Pine Tree), Garlic Oil, and Camphor Powder (a white crystalline substance, obtained from the tree Cinnamonum camphora). The country of product origin is Malaysia. Antimos Mosquito Repellent is the first and only mosquito repellent that offers you both safety and effectiveness at the same time.
Antimos Mosquito Repellent is a patented and award winning natural mosquito repellent with an effectiveness rate of up to 93.3%. Some of the awards received are International Invention Awards 1998 Geneva, 1998 London, 1998 Malaysia, and 1999 China.
How does Antimos301 work to repel mosquitoes?
The right formulation of these four ingredients numbs mosquitoes’ peripheral sensory nerves and olfactory system and thus disrupts their sense of smell. Since mosquitoes rely on their sense of smell to find the source of their blood meals, they will be unable to find their targets once their sense of smell is disrupted.
