The Original Catnip Spray®

We formulated our Lemon Eucalyptus Skeeter-Nip in response to customer requests after the 2011 CDC announcement that essential oil of lemon eucalyptus was as effective as DEET and could be a much safer all-natural weapon against mosquitos. This formula leads with a citrus note but super-repellents neem oil and essential oil of catnip are both deliciously pungent oils. To know nature's strong, natural scents is to love them. Our bodies already "know" what's healthy and are drawn to foods (oral and topical) that support healthy bodily functions.

Don't jeopardize your health trying to repel insects! Stay healthy without bites using 100% all natural mosquito repellent. This synthetic-free blend repels mosquitoes better than its chemically toxic competitors, and it's good for you!

According to the US National Research Council, the Malaria Institute of India, and the American Mosquito Association, neem oil is more effective than DEET. According to research performed by Iowa State University, essential oil of catnip is 10 times more effective than DEET. And in 2019, US Center for Disease Control finally declared that essential oil of lemon eucalyptus is as effective as DEET. These findings have been common knowledge among natural health practioners. Skeeter-Nip All Natural Mosquito Repellent - the original catnip spray - is fragrance free, chemical free, GMO free, cruelty free, child and pet friendly. It will not lead to resistance in future generations of pests. Skeeter-Nip Vanilla leads with vanilla and trails with the pungent but not unpleasant odor of neem, somewhat like citrusy garlic.
