Depende ito sa proteksyon na nais mo magkaroon laban sa kagat ng lamok at sa gaano kadelikado ang lugar na iyong pupuntahan.
Ang mga produktong mayroon DEET ay may ibat-ibang concentration. Mas mataas ang concentration level, mas matagal ang maidulot nitong proteksyon. Ang concentration na 20% ay nagbibigay ng 1 hanggang 3 oras lamang at kung mas mataas na percent na concentration ay may mas matagal ka protektado sa kagat ng lamok. Gayunpaman hindi kailangan gumamit ng mataas pa sa 50% na concentration level dahil ang 50% pataas ay parehong proteksyon lang ang naiibigay. Hindi pwede gamitin ang mga produktong may DEET sa mga sanggol edad 2 buwan pababa.. Maari naman itong gamitin ng mga buntis o nagpapasuso ngunit dapat hindi tataas sa 50% ang concentration ng repellant Dapat sundin ang anumang instruction na nakalagay sa produkto na may DEET lalo na yung may mga age restrictions.
