Does bug spray lose its effectiveness over time? More specifically, I'm using a Picaridin spray.

Shelf life?

Travis,

I did a little internet searching and found what may be your answer.

OFF!® FamilyCare Insect Repellent II Clean Feel, which contains Picaridin, an effective DEET alternative.


OFF!® FamilyCare Smooth & Dry has a shelf life of up to 2 years.



Pardon the lazy link to the FAQ page.

Hope this helps.

Party On,

Thanks John. That pretty much answers it.
