Frequently asked questions
Can I use these with fire-resistant clothing?
Yes, absolutely. The Bug X FR formula is specifically engineered to be nonflammable, ensuring that it is safe to use while wearing fire-resistant (FR) clothing without compromising your safety gear’s integrity.
Does this contain DEET?
No, this product does not contain DEET. It uses a naturally derived geranium oil formula as its active insect-repelling ingredient, offering a plant-based alternative to traditional chemical repellents.
Are these suitable for field work?
Yes, they are ideal for professional field environments such as forestry, firefighting, and utility work. Because each towelette is individually packed, they are highly portable and easy to include in personal protective equipment (PPE) stations or field gear kits.
Is the repellent difficult to apply?
Not at all. The towelette format allows for a controlled, mess-free application directly to the skin. Since each towelette is pre-saturated, you get the right amount of product every time without the risk of overspray or waste associated with aerosols.
How long does the protection last?
Each application provides protection for two hours. The individual packets make it easy to carry extras with you to reapply as needed throughout your shift.
How are the towelettes packaged for storage?
The case of 100 towelettes is organized into four individual clamshell chipboard dispenser boxes, each containing 25 packets. This makes it convenient to distribute them across different lockers, vehicles, or emergency kits.
Are these safe for daily use?
The Bug X FR towelettes are designed for safety-conscious professionals. By utilizing a natural, plant-based geranium oil formulation, they provide an effective defense against insects without relying on harsh chemicals.
Can I store these in an emergency kit?
Yes, the individual, sealed packaging makes them perfect for long-term storage in first aid kits, emergency bags, or work lockers. Their compact design ensures they remain clean and effective until you are ready to open them.
Are these effective against most common insects?
Yes, the naturally derived geranium oil is a proven, effective alternative to DEET for deterring a wide variety of insects encountered in outdoor and industrial working environments.
Is this product considered industrial grade?
Yes, Coretex Products designs these specifically for demanding industrial and professional environments where safety, compliance with gear requirements (like FR clothing), and ease of distribution are top priorities.
