HOW IT WORKS

Most bugs (especially mosquitoes) track humans by sensing the carbon dioxide we exhale and the natural lactic acid on our skin. Traditional bug sprays use harsh chemicals like DEET to poison or deter these pests, which often leaves you smelling toxic and feeling greasy.

Our Critter Control Spray takes a smarter, natural approach. We utilize a scientifically formulated, proprietary blend of premium essential oils—including Citronella, Peppermint, Cedarwood, and Lemongrass. Instead of acting as a poison, these active plant-based ingredients work together to actively mask your natural scent profile.

When you apply the spray, it creates an invisible, aromatic shield that essentially jams the sensory receptors of mosquitoes, ticks, gnats, flies, and other biting insects. To them, you simply disappear. You get to enjoy the great outdoors without the chemical smell, sticky residue, or worry of toxic absorption.

WHERE TO SPRAY

Our premium, water-and-oil-based formula is designed for ultimate versatility. Because it is completely non-greasy and dries crystal clear, it can be used on almost any surface without causing stains or damage.

On Your Body: Apply a light, even mist to all exposed skin. Focus on high-target areas like ankles, wrists, the back of the neck, and behind the knees. For facial application, never spray directly; instead, spray the liquid into the palms of your hands and gently pat it onto your face, avoiding the eyes and mouth.

On Your Gear & Clothing: Boost your protection by spraying directly onto your t-shirts, shorts, socks, and hats. It’s also perfect for treating hiking backpacks, camping tents, and sleeping bags.

Around Your Spaces: Relaxing on the porch? You can mist the air around your seating area, or spray it onto patio furniture, picnic blankets, and even baby strollers to create a bug-free bubble for the whole family.

HOW MUCH DO I NEED?

A little goes a long way! Thanks to our highly concentrated plant-based formula, you don't need to drench yourself to get powerful protection. A light, continuous coating over your exposed skin or clothing is all it takes to establish a strong barrier against pests.

For Everyday Use: For standard outdoor activities like backyard lounging, gardening, or a neighborhood walk, a quick, light mist will keep you protected for hours.

For Heavy Duty Protection: If you are venturing into densely wooded areas, hiking near stagnant water, or spending time in deep humidity, we recommend applying a slightly heavier coat to ensure maximum coverage.

When to Reapply: For continuous, uninterrupted protection, we generally recommend reapplying every 4 to 6 hours. However, if you are swimming, sweating heavily from intense physical activity, or toweling off, you should reapply immediately to restore your invisible shield.

"I wanted something simple for the house that didn’t involve coating everything in harsh chemicals."

"THIS EARNED A PERMANENT SPOT UNDER OUR SINK."

We used it during a weekend bug invasion and I was honestly impressed. I sprayed the doorways and along the kitchen baseboards. It held up great and made a noticeable difference the moment the bugs tried to come out. I’m reordering before our next bottle runs out.

"We've tried toxic sprays and those sticky traps. Something always ran out, wore off, or smelled awful."

"THESE MADE BUG SEASON WAY LESS CHAOTIC."

I sprayed along our baseboards and window sills right before the summer heat hit. Usually, that’s when the ants and spiders go wild. This time, nobody was complaining, getting bitten, or spotting bugs in the corners. That alone made it worth it.

"We just moved into a new place and the garage was crawling with spiders and roaches."

"FINALLY, MY GARAGE IS SPIDER-FREE."

I sprayed the perimeter once and haven't seen a single bug since. I love that it doesn't leave a greasy residue on the floors and works almost instantly. It gives me peace of mind knowing my house is protected.

"Bugs and creeping critters are the one thing that can ruin an otherwise perfect evening outside for us."

"FIRST TIME WE ACTUALLY ENJOYED SUNSET ON THE PATIO."

I sprayed around our patio furniture, door frames, and near our outdoor picnic setup. We stayed outside all evening without constantly spotting crawling insects. No messy cleanup, no strong chemical smell, no hassle. Just easy.

"With three kids running around, I hated using toxic sprays on the grass and patio."

"OUR BACKYARD IS ACTUALLY USABLE NOW."

This spray is a lifesaver! We sprayed around their play area and we finally had a weekend BBQ without swatting flies or stepping on ants. The plant-based scent is actually really refreshing and it kept the bugs far away from the kids.

"My dogs are always sniffing around the baseboards and patio. I needed something that wouldn't poison them."

"PEACE OF MIND WITH MY TWO RETRIEVERS."

This spray is incredible. I sprayed it around the entryways to keep the ants and spiders out, and I don't have to lock my dogs out of the room for hours. It works fast and I feel 100% safe using it around them.

"Cats are so sensitive to smells and chemicals, so I was very hesitant to use any pest control."

"NO CHEMICAL SMELL AND CAT-APPROVED."

The plant-based formula is amazing. I used it along the kitchen floorboards to stop a roach problem. My cat wasn't bothered by the scent at all, and the bugs were gone the next morning. Highly recommend for pet parents!

"I bought these for travel because I wanted something easy for walking tours, parks, and outdoor stops without dealing with sprays in my suitcase."

"THE ONLY SPRAY I TRUST AROUND MY ANIMALS."

This spray is my go-to barrier. It stops roaches and ants dead in their tracks, and I never have to worry about the dogs walking on toxic chemicals and licking their paws. It’s effective, safe, and smells like a spray!

Is this spray really safe to use around my dog and cat?

Absolutely! Our formula relies entirely on natural, plant-based ingredients that are toxic to bugs but completely safe to use around humans and pets. We just recommend allowing the spray to dry for a few minutes before letting pets lick or walk on the wet area.

How long does one application last?

It depends on the severity of your bug problem. For active infestations, we recommend spraying every few days to drive them out. Once the bugs are gone, applying it once every 1 to 2 weeks is enough to keep your home bug-free.

Can I use this in my kitchen near food?

Yes! Because it is chemical-free and non-toxic, it is perfectly safe to use in kitchens and pantries. Just avoid spraying it directly onto exposed food.

Does this actually kill the bugs, or just repel them?

It does both! If you spray it directly onto a bug, the natural oils act quickly to break down their exoskeleton and eliminate them. When sprayed around the home as a barrier, the strong essential oil scent repels pests and stops them from entering in the first place.

Will it stain my white walls, carpets, or furniture?

No. Our spray uses a water-based essential oil mixture that is non-staining and non-greasy. However, as with any liquid, we always recommend doing a quick patch test on delicate or antique fabrics just to be 100% safe.
