GRAND TONGO

Our Most Asked Questions

A new way to repel bugs, without repelling people.

Why choose Picaridin
over DEET?

DEET has the potential for more severe eye and skin reactions. Picaridin also has a more appealing cosmetic experience since it’s clear, non-sticky, and odorless. Due to its solvent properties, DEET is known to cause damage to plastic, rubber, vinyl, and elastic on items like clothing and backpacks

Is this suitable to spray
on my children?

Yes! Our family-friendly Picaridin formula keeps you and your family protected for 12 hours against mosquitoes and ticks. Our formula is safe for pregnant women and infants 6 months and older.

Is Grand Tongo safe
for the environment?

Yes! We are cognizant of the environmental impact of our products and packaging. Our containers are compressed with ambient air, not flammable propellants. The aluminum cans that we use are virtually infinitely recyclable and the plastic components can be recycled as well
