What types of insect repellents are most effective against mosquitoes?

When it comes to choosing an insect repellent that specifically targets mosquitoes, the most effective type of repellents contain either DEET (N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide) or Picaridin (KBR 3023). Products that contain at least 20% DEET or 20% Picaridin have been found to provide the longest lasting protection against mosquitoes.
