Does insect repellent expire?


I found 2 full bottles in a drawer from like 2 or 3 summers ago...is it still good or should I just throw it out?

yes they do. The replent can be dissoved over time, the smell maybe gone, and the effect of it may not be as well. But this situation dosn't happen unless repelent is left for more than 5-6 years.

Pretty much everything losses its effectiveness over time. Check the bottle, it most likely has an expiration date on it. If you can't find one, I would just throw them out and buy a new bottle. It's not expensive stuff to buy and it's better to use something that you know is new and good.
