Every repellent we've scored
Personal sprays and lotions, spatial emanators and coils, yard foggers, larvicides, and traps, and the gadgets that don't work, each scored on the same four pillars: effectiveness, transparency, evidence, and safety. Every product is judged on how well it does its own job, so scores are meant to be compared within a tab, not across. How scoring works.
These protect a space around you, right now.
Emanators and coils put up a zone of repellent vapor around you while you're out in it. Each is scored on how well it does that job: how much it cuts bites and how large an area it covers. A score here answers a different question than a skin repellent's, so the two aren't meant to be compared head to head.
