Our 100% natural blend of bug-fighting oils repels even the most stubborn pests. Lemongrass and Catnip along with other oils combine to form an effective DEET-equal inset repellent. Studies have shown that Catnip oil is as effective as DEET against mosquitoes and other pests without the harmful, toxic chemicals. Since there is no DEET in our natural insect repellent formula, its safe enough for children and pets.
