Plan ahead
Angie Lindsey is the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences point of contact with EDEN, the national Extension Disaster Education Network. Her advice is to plan, and plan early, even if it s just a quick conversation with family or a single notecard s worth of instructions. I think as Floridians we think that, Oh, we’ve got this. We’ve been through this. We’ve been through tropical storms. We’ve been through hurricanes. But I really want to emphasize the importance of having a plan,” Lindsey said. At least having a plan and jotting some things down is really important.”
The Proven Insect Repellent Spray proved to be a winner during our user testing. The bottle boasts a quick and easy spray (itâs also one of the most portable bottles), and users noted its near complete lack of scent. Even with its wide coverage, Proven was nice and light to the point we barely felt it on our skin. While you might forget youâre wearing it, though, bugs wonât. We found in our research (and the experts agreed) that the active ingredient picaridin â Provenâs active ingredient comprising 20% of its formula â is one of the best at repelling bugs.
