Anyone know whether we can go back & forth across Canada - US border with our DEET and other insect repellants? We'll be doing some hiking in Acaia, then crossing into QC, then back to NY, then to ON.

We cross the US/Canada border a few times a year with and without our camper and have never been asked about any type of bug spray. I cant see why there would be a problem with DEET as its available in bug spray in both countries. Now bear spray is another question.:eek:

Agree with Diane. We have taken DEET-based repellent across the border in both directions by land and air lots of times with no issues.

I buy 28% deet bug spray at the camping store here in Canada. I can't imagine anybody would ask or care that you had it.

Thanks everyone, we won't worry about the DEET. Now the bears... !! We'd bought bear spray during Glacier/Yellowstone trip, and thrice went hiking without it, to our huge regret and for totally stupid reasons. Then had to give it back before flying home. That stuff was expensive!
