No need to jeopardize health warding off mosquitos. This 100% natural blend repels mosquitoes better than its chemically toxic competitors, and it's good for you!

Skeeter-Nip® Plus all natural mosquito repellent − the original catnip spray − is fragrance free, chemical free, GMO free, cruelty free, and child and pet friendly. It will not lead to resistance in future generations of pests. Skeeter-Nip® Plus has a pungent but not unpleasant odor, somewhat like citrus leaf or garlic.
