About GO!
GO! is the personal insect repellent from McBride (Caribbean) Limited, Goddard Enterprises' Barbadian aerosol manufacturer, sold in a DEET formulation that the company positions against mosquito-borne disease rather than mere nuisance. Its public health role is explicit: in 2025 McBride's Dominican Republic branch donated 1,620 aerosol cans of GO! to the Red Cross there to help slow a dengue outbreak driven by seasonal rains. It sits alongside BOP in a range aimed at the two halves of the same problem, treating the room and treating the person.
