Great product, second time ordering it.

Using on cats...who are not happy with getting sprayed with anything wet! Lol! Once it was done and I combed it through their coats with my hands, they relaxed. The product seemed to kill the live fleas on contact. About 3 hours later, I did another comb through with no activity moving around. Ill wait 2 weeks and dose them again, getting residual eggs and critters that might think they got away. Love that's its totally safe for them, our home and myself. This was highly recommended to me by a trusted family member and I agree!
Sandy J
Great for daily trips to the dog parks. Appreciated the extra protection for my labradoodle.
Alice
Seemed to really work and even the strong smell the cats and dog got used to it and seemed to work quickly for the fleas and ticks!!
Hedi
Excellent product that works! I just need a bigger bottle
ari
Safe on my pet and on me, works well as a repelent. I see the way fleas scrambled off her fur as I sprayed my little shihtzu before I bathed her to test it out. The spray itself doesnt spritz as I wished it would it kind off just shoots out of the spray bottle (fyi) So if I sprayed it on me or my pet it looks like a blob of white liquid and you would have to spread it onto yourself.

I think this works pretty well. I spray it around my sink and bathtub (an area that I usually see bugs the most) and have noticed some improvement. The smell is pretty strong I will say! And while it says it’s okay around animals I’m still careful not to let my cats get around just in case, since I’m spraying it directly on a surface.
Jennifer
Smell is fine, not overbearing. I have been spraying every time I hike, and haven't got any bugs on me!
Helen Moore
I really like this product. It works well and also smells nice. I also really like that it is pet safe and that does not compromise how well the stuff works. Good value.
Carter
Works well. The scent isn't bad and I like you can spray anywhere.
Camillia
This is of good quality. Smells good. I recommend.

I've gotten sick of smelling lemongrass on myself and my dog. However it saves me from having to make the decision to dose myself with DEET instead to keep the mosquitoes off. One thing though, you have to make sure you get all of your exposed skin covered bc they will bite right next to an area of my leg that got dosed. I also appreciate being able to use this on my dog.
Read the instructions and follow them for best results.
Rather than turning off the mosquitoes receptors, so you are invisible to them, this product is a deterrent bc the listed insects don't like that smell. I really don't expect it kill fleas and ticks And definitely not their eggs.
I like that it comes a big bottle.
Susan Kuether
Our house backs up to a national park so in Summer we do have yard fleas. This works great for people, pets & furniture & helps mitigate the intrusion.
Jocelyn
This product works good and love how it’s not that pricey. Usually expensive things I have bought in the past don’t work as good as this. Truly recommend it.
Jake O
Smells great. So far, no ticks or fleas
Amber
I’m a fan! This is the first time I’ve used a bug repellent/killer that isn’t like the typical bottle of Raid. So this really stood out for me because it actually smells good and doesn’t leave your apartment smelling like a bunch of chemicals. It worked well for some annoying gnat problems I had around my garbage can and didn’t seem to disturb my animals. Will keep using!
Erica
It works great!! Easy to use and no skin irritation.
Kferrari
Great product, very easy to use. The nozzle can be adjusted to be anywhere from a stream to a spray. I love how natural this product is. It obviously doesn't work quite as well as something chemical-based, but works very well for a natural product. I am not sure if it kills fleas, as my dog does not have that problem. It smells really good, like strong lemongrass. I have used this around my 9 lb dog and my 4 year old daughter without any issues. Seems to last for a couple of hours while we are playing outside.
Julia
Love it really keeps the bugs away
maggie2853
This stuff works really well
Sandi Hannah
it seems to be helping some with fleas on my dog and cats. it does work on keeping the bugs away from e when outside.
WriteNReview
This Trail Guard Natural Insect Spray does a solid job keeping most bugs away from my dog during hikes and backyard playtime. The lemongrass scent is fresh (not overpowering), and I love that it’s plant-based and kid-safe for worry-free use.
It’s especially handy in summer, though a few persistent ticks or fleas still sneak through. For a natural option, it’s effective just don’t expect total immunity.
Tracy j hughes
Smells great and the pets don’t seem to mind it on them.
Smell:
Smells wonderful
Kills flea:
When sprayed the fleas went away
Alex Katkov
Amazing and natural smelling. Worked wonders on pets coats, and our house
Maria Eugenia Valle
Excellent product, helps elliminate fleas and ticks!
Christine Fogu
I really like the natural repellents used in this product! So fat it's working really well as an added protection level when I go hiking with my dog. I have not see a single flea or tick and I've noticed that other flying insects, like mosquitos, tend to stay away for the most part as well.
I would definately speak to your vet before using this on cats since they are so very sensitive to these types of products / fragrances. Also be aware that Lemongrass can be a pleasant smell to some, but others may not feel the same. Test it before using it.
Amazonian
5.0 out of 5 stars Love the Scent! Smells Powerful. This is a powerful and potent brew that I feel certain will keep the ticks off of my pantcuffs. I have to mow my lawn every day in Missouri, one of the most tick infested states in the US. Can't wait to give this a try!

Kills fleas on contact, all natural non-toxic safe for dogs - I got this all natural non-toxic essential oil-based spray for keeping fleas off of my nine dogs.
Sprays like this can be very effective when you use a multi-pronged approach.
In this spray, the primary essential oil is Cedarwood with lemongrass added. Cedarwood is one of the most effective essential oils at killing and repelling fleas.
And at the concentrations in this you can safely spray it directly on your dog and their bedding.
I haven't tried it on my cats yet. I
If you have an active infestation on your dog, the best way to knock that down is by giving them a simple bath with Dawn dish soap or some other non-toxic but High foaming sudsing shampoo. The regular blue formulation , original formulation Dawn dish detergent works extremely fast at suffocating the fleas and washing off all of the eggs with a good rinse.
Then you can use this spray to keep the fleas from jumping on them again.
For ticks, I find the most effective thing is just add apple cider vinegar to their raw food meals. After a couple weeks of dosing their food with apple cider vinegar ( don't add it to their water unless you have a second bowl of fresh, clean water so they can always choose which one they want) ... the ticks no longer jump onto them at all.
For adding something to their food that is extremely effective for keeping fleas off, because it makes their blood taste terrible so fleas, add pure garlic powder (no salt added) to their meals.
The dogs love it and after about a week and a half to two weeks, the fleas will stop jumping on them to feed because they don't taste good anymore.
You'll find a lot of references that say that garlic is toxic to dogs but in fact it is not unless you feed them extremely high doses which is unreasonable. The research that was done on it was flawed because of the extreme amounts of garlic used in that study. Extremely high amounts of any substance would become harmful to humans or animals.
But for knocking down an active infestation , shampooing and this all natural essential oil based flea killing spray will work great.
Oh, and the reason for the soap (sodium lauryl sulfate) that is included in this spray is so that it clings to the pets fur and the essential oils last longer for a longer flea- killing and repelling effect.
This is a good choice for an all natural flea repellent that you can also use on yourself. The Cedarwood and lemongrass will be effective for repelling mosquitoes. Spraying this on your front legs before you go out hiking will also prevent ticks and chiggers from jumping on you. So there are many applications for this spray and you get a very good size 16 ounce bottle that lasts the very long time with the small amount that you need to apply to your pet's fur. Highly recommended as a versatile multi-purpose insect and pest spray!
Lauren
Great Deterrent - I’ve been using this to spray in our outdoor areas to deter area of bugs and have found that it works quite well. I think there’s a lot fewer cobwebs and bugs around since I started using it. It actually smells really nice to me so I don’t even mind The odor as opposed to all of the other more chemical types of sprays.

Works as described and leaves a pleasant scent - Smells nice, it appears to kill fleas upon contact when spraying my dogs. My pets have not had any rashes or reactions, there have been no reactions with my kids skin, either. I have also noticed a lack of flies and mosquitos around my front porch since I sprayed my porch and the surrounding area. Definitely easy to use, most definitely worth the cost, and the amazing rosemary smell is heavenly.
Janis Barbosa
Good product to carry while hiking, etc. Works great; bettter than spraying with poison/deet. Re-apply often.
Sandra S.
Works great -I bought this product after reading the reviews hoping it would work at keeping the ticks off my dogs, so far it has done just that! Which means a lot when you live in the north east since most ticks carry Lyme disease and other diseases…..
I hope they don’t change the formula because it really does work which is a relief. Just follow the instructions on the bottle.
Artsy Ali
Keeps many mosquitos away but not all, has extreme scent. I’ve tried this Trail Guard insect flea and tick spray twice now. We’ve had so much rain recently that there are a ton of mosquitoes outside right now. Both times when I’ve applied it and have gone outside, I still have gotten an occasional mosquito bite, but not as many as I would’ve gotten had I not had anything on.
It has an extremely strong cedarwood and lemongrass scent, which is probably what makes it work, but it does last for many hours if you’re sensitive to strong smells. I wouldn’t want to use it if I was going anywhere outside my own home or to be around other people.
The sprayer is impossible to adjust to a fine mist and no matter how I’ve turned the nozzle it’s spatters bigger droplets out. It gets on the floor and doesn’t make an even, fine application onto your skin. I end up having to use my hand to rub it in and then I need to clean off the droplets on the table or floor around me as they’re slippery.
It’s helpful, but it’s not the answer I was looking for. I’ve only tried it for use on people so far. It does say that it can be used on pets, pet bedding and home surfaces and that it kills flea larvae. I appreciate that it is a more natural product than ones filled with toxic chemicals.
Jill T
Seems to be good quality stuff.
Sarah I
Great Product - This stuff is great. Same active ingredients as the big name brand dog bug spray. Smells amazing on your dog, like a cedar wood cabin. When I apply this to my dog, I notice far less clinging ticks. While I cannot say if it kills ticks(have not seen a dead one on him), I have yet to find any tick attached to my dog at all this season. My dog has epilepsy and cannot take tick medications. This product, as well as other natural methods are what we rely on. I will buy this product for as long as I own dogs.
Evelyn Long
For the price, it's nice. Im not in love with the fragrance, but others may like it. It has helped with the fleas and metering mosquitoes, however I find it have to apply it fairly frequently. I dont like residue on my dogs coats.. however i think every product will have residue. Unsure if I will purchase again. I will wait till I use up this bottle to make that determination.
Clark W
Good Citrus/Cedar spray to keep the pests away. I ordered this spray to solve a problem I've had for years. Every spring, I get these little black moths on my front windows. They are nowhere else in the house, but they cling to the front screens. I have scrubbed and sprayed a ton of different products. But it's only a temporary fix.
I don't know if it's the cedar, but I have seen as many moths in the last few weeks. Yes, I still find the occasional stray, but I'm not inundated as I've been in the past. I think this spray might be the answer to my problem.
It smells fresh you get a blast of citrus followed my undertones of cedar. I like the scent, though it might my be for everyone.
If you have a pest problem and want a natural solution, I think this spray is worth a try.
Walker E
Effective & smells good. I spend a lot of time with my two in the woods here in the Northeast. This time of year is peak for ticks fleas, gnats, and fleas. This formulation only contains essential oils with a track record of repelling parasites, along with some stabilizers to keep the oils in suspension. The smell is nice, and with a few hikes under our belt the formula does a good job of repelling the bugs. I'm glad to find a natural formula and stay away from the more synthetic mixes.
JS
Great scent and non irritating - I have used this spray several times since ordering and I really like it so far. It has a great, natural scent which I really like as opposed to chemical smells that other bug sprays can have. It works well and is not irritating when applied to skin.
Lauren
Versatile & Efficient! I love how this repellent spray contains similar ingredients that are in the dog shampoo I use during this time of the year. Ticks are my nemesis - I feel way more protected with this spray than without. I love that it can be used so many ways without the harsh after-spray smell that many bug sprays give off. I am so happy I gave this product a go!
Suzie
Works well. Sprayed on my clothing to work in my garden and it kept the ticks away.
Dylan Stephenson
Great product. Works well and it eco friendly love it
Mare
No More Ticks! Works well.
Brian and Randi
Pleasantly surprised!! I knew that the spray was mostly natural ingredients, but I did not realize it could be used for people also. It seems like the ticks in our area are especially bad this year. So we plan to use this stuff around our ankles and all over our dog, especially when we go camping. I would recommend trying this product.
Kimberly Richardson
Kills on contact
Kimmie
The smell of this product is horrible. No matter if you use a little or a lot it’s terrible and it didn’t even work. I sprayed it on my dog, and when we came back from our hike, he had three baby ticks on him. I do not recommend this product.
Melissa M.
It smells good! The scent is strong. I’m not sure how well it will work. I’ll have to use it for a while. But I have hope!
Neice W.
Nice. I like that this product is non toxic so can be used on many services, fabrics and even your body. I sprayed the surrounding corners of my home and doors as well as my carpet floors and mattress. The smell isn’t overwhelming or overpowering, gave a nice clean scent. It did put my mind to rest, I had my suspicions of fleas and after using this I felt nothing. Great product: packing was appropriate and shipping was fast. It’s a good amount for the price. Would recommend.
Yesse
Durable repellent. His is a great size repellent for camping and being out in nature
Tammy Sabin
Works like it says. Alot of product for the price. Works very well. My cat isn't scratching herself like she was. The fragrance isn't the greatest but it isn't the worst either. Had a real loud cedar smell. All in all I would purchase again

Love this spray. I generally use it at my open windows to deter little gnats and such. I've used it on the horses and they seem better about it than with the designated "horse bug spray." Also....my mother came to visit and walked in my room like, "oooh, what's that smell? I like it." I had to think for a bit because I don't do candles or perfume, but yes, this has a strong smell! Pleasant tho, clearly. Natural.
Also in the video, I'm not squeezing fully so it might seem weak but it sprays nice, albeit having a few bigger droplets each time. Could just be my bottle. Worth the price? Ehh, its tough (for me) to rationalize it, but for amount, effectiveness, scent, health, sure.
Brian W
Can actually identify ingredients. What a great find. As a pet and kid parent, I like when I find something I can use for every one. My kids love being outside, but bugs bite them horribly. I love that they can use this themselves and get less bites. I love that I can read the ingredients and know what they are. No harsh chemicals. It smells nice too. I've even put this info 3 smaller travel bottles to have on the go. The spray pump it comes with is an added bonus as well.
Miranda Stevens
Smells good. Bought to use for camping and hiking on our dog. So excited to try
Johnny Nguyen
Got this for prevention of ticks and fleas when my dogs go outside. The weather is getting warmer which mean my dogs will be going out more often. With the warm weather, they often get ticks. I don't like to use medication because it's not safe around my parrots as well as other hazards with using such chemicals. This has natural oils that naturally repel these pests. The bottle comes with a spray attachment and spays very nicely. My dogs are small and the bottle is huge. It should last them for a long time. Has a nice scent and dogs don't seem bothered or irritated by it.
Shannon Clark
Effective. This was my first time using this flea spray and it’s very effective. I spray my dog with it every 2 days and I haven’t seen not one flea! I do wish it had a spray with a wider range. I like that I can spray it on bedding
Michelle Fernandez
Trail Guard Flea and Tick Spray has worked wonders for both my dog and cat. I was dealing with a stubborn flea problem, and after just a couple of applications, I noticed a huge difference—fleas were gone! It’s easy to apply, doesn’t have an overwhelming smell, and doesn’t leave a sticky residue on their fur. What I really like is that it’s safe for both dogs and cats, which saves me from having to buy separate products. It seems gentle on their skin, and they haven’t had any irritation. Highly effective and definitely a product I’ll keep using regularly.
Peter J
Works Amazingly. this worked amazingly for humans and dogs! i love going for walks with my animals around the river so this was definitely needed
GX
Pricey, but the dogs like it better than other brands. We have a lot of ticks here, so I use this on my dogs as their second line of defense. We use a topical treatment as well, but I use the spray if it's been a while since they've received the topical treatment, or if going into heavily wooded areas for hiking.
My dogs tolerate this spray better than they do the peppermint based ones. I apply it by spraying it onto my hands, and then massaging it into the dogs for. They like this way better, and the sprayer gives me a good amount of spray so I can get this done quickly. I also apply some to their harnesses. Hopefully it is helping to keep the ticks off, I haven't gotten a chance to use it yet in the really warm months.
The only downside is that it is pretty expensive and I have three dogs, so it may not last as long as I would like.
An added plus, is that I can use this on my own skin and clothing if I need to.
CM Lane
My poor dogs have been having a hard time with fleas this past summer, so i thought I would give trail guard natural extra strength flea and tick spray a try. I have mixed feelings on this. The smell to this is so strong, so much so my dogs go into sneezing fits. It seems to kind of ward off the fleas and it doesn't leave an oily residue. I think I'd like I t more if the smell wasn't as strong, but then it may not work.
Amanda H
Works Great. With 8(!) dogs, we battle fleas constantly. This stuff is amazing. I spray their bedding instead of directly on them. It has a strong cedar smell, but isn't unpleasant. It does have to be reapplied regularly. I spray it everyday. Which means I use it up quickly. It's a little pricey for how fast I go through it. But since it works, I feel it's worth it.
Mongo J
Smells nice, effective and natural! This spray seems to be real effective. The scent is fine, and no toxic ingredients for me or my dogs! The size is also perfectly to throw in your backpack or purse.
Sherry C Sloan
This worked OK for my puppy for me. It was OK. I don’t think I would purchase it again but then again others may there’s better things out there for your puppy. You just have to keep looking probably won’t purchase again.
Ariel
Nice for Hiking. I got this for taking my dog hiking, and it's a nice bonus that I can use it for both of us. We (thankfully) do not have a lot of ticks or mosquitos in our area, but there are some. This works pretty well for repelling bugs for a short ~1-2 hour hike. The smell is strong, but not too unpleasant. My dog doesn't love being sprayed, but otherwise doesn't seem to mind it.
My dog gets a regular flea preventative, so we are using this for short term bug repellent, not a solution to treat existing fleas, so I can't speak to how it works in that situation.
Lilly R
Wow! This appears to be working as described! It's made in the US and it has safe non-toxic ingredients...PLUS it does the trick. I use it on my adult cats, dog, me, and our home/yard. Definitely worth trying. SO MUCH BETTER than the toxic chemical repellents!
Justin T
No Fleas On Me! I've been spraying this on my feet and ankles and shoes when camping. There are actually a lot of chicken fleas and bird mites around here. I have sprayed this on my pillow and what was really great idea was on my backpack too and it has kept the cockroaches and ants off my backpack. I once got it on my face when spraying because I had the sprayer pointing the wrong way and it did not burn my eyes or make my sensitive skin face break out. The smell is pleasant and more of a clove smell. Not minty smelling or lavender or any of the usual smells. A bit more natural medicine smell like cloves. I wouldn't say it would be a smell I would wear into the office as perfume someday, but it works as a repellant for insects. I have not seen any on my shoes. Bottle did not leak in shipping. Bottle did not leak when held upright in side mesh pocket of my backpack next to my water bottle either. Responsive spray pump that worked every time i pressed down, giving an easy, light mist. Set of 2 bottles. Generous size. Not TSA carry on sized, as it is 4 ounces so you'd have to put it in your checked baggage.
C Welle-Mann
Oh my gosh, the stuff works, especially on fleas. If you find yourself stuck somewhere with animals that have fleas, this is the only product I have found that keeps them off of you. I don’t really know how it works on Ticks or mosquitoes but if you’re trying to keep fleas away? This is what you want.**** Worth every penny.
Warren Berger
The smell is good, but the price for the size isn't cost effective for our large dog, since you have to reapply regularly. Will keep for day hikes, as small for transport, but def can't be regular use because of the price for me as we have a very large furry dog so you have to use a LOT.
Summer Fairbairn
Works Well. Fleas ran. Smell is not bad. Easy to apply. Cat hated it but that's to be expected. Seems to keep other bugs away too. I like it.
Damon H
I'm uncertain if it is really doing anything or not, but it smells good.
Unfortunately my spray bottle does not function properly, so using is a pain.
First and last.
Phill D
I really like the way this stuff smells. Woodsy, earthy, natural. We’ve recently had a small flea issue with our pets for which we use the typical vet approved oral stuff, but I like having some backup that safe to use as a supplement to use topically that won’t hurt the pets, us, or the furniture. This fits the bill. Additionally it’s good for humans and mosquitoes so win win. It definitely helps and is effective, just not the same degree as something toxic like deet.
Jill Schneider
AMAZING REPELLANT. I purchased this spray because it is safe for my dogs. It is the only repellent that is free of toxic ingredients , unlike others that contain toxic ingredients such as peppermint and clove oils. I stopped using the spot on products like advantage or adv anti x which I used for a long time. I began using this spray for about 5 months. There hasn't been a flea or tick on either of our.2 dogs. And I can attest that it also repels miscitoes too which I wasn't expecting it to repel mosquitos . I even sprayed it on myself ( exposed skin and on my clothes) I didn't see even one mosquito and not one bite on me. We have many water sources on our property ! Jill I wouldn't use it on cats because they are frequently groom themselves. The only con is that there is only one spray stream I wish you were able to have a wider spray function.
Phara H
Fleas are upon us. This is the 1st time in many years that fleas have infiltrated my home, dog & cat. The dog brought them indoors going into the bushes. The cat never goes outside. Previously my dogs took the prescription once a month tablet and that is the best way to go..no fleas. I haven't been able to get to the vet & the flea collars, that I don't like to use as on my pets because of the chemicals, have been totally useless. I read the best natural product to kill fleas is cedarwood. It literally sucks the moisture out of them, they die. Along comes this natural spray with cedarwood & glad 2 bottles came as I have used 1 bottle already. The mist is light so doesn't soak my pets, fabrics or me. Mild fragrance.
My dog & cat don't mind me spraying them because of my massaging it into their skin. They think I'm just petting them. I have sprayed couches, carpets & my ankles & slippers. If you spray the flea or its larva/droppings directly..they are a goner. We still are fighting the fleas so I can't say this is the cure all but I am reducing their numbers and offspring. The logistics of flea bombing my house is difficult due to only indoor pets so I will continue using this natural spray. If used as directions say & don't soak your pet..it's a product to have on hand & use. I like that it can be used on both my cat & dog plus on me too. Many products that aren't natural have to many safety restrictions but not Trail Guard spray.
Justin Pfeffer
Good for Maintenance. Good for maintenance and prevention. Doesn’t smell horrible and dry sort of quick when sprayed on carpet or furniture.
Leon Seifried
Smells good and works! Pets don't mind and it works.
Rob Stanley
Effective, safe pest control for everyone. I was pleasantly surprised by how well this spray worked! I took it on a recent camping trip, and it kept the mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks at bay. It was easy to use, and I appreciated that it was safe for both my dog and the kids. The smell is natural and not overpowering, which is a bonus compared to other sprays I've tried. I love that it's made from natural ingredients, so I don’t have to worry about harmful chemicals on our skin or gear. Plus, it worked instantly in contact with pests. Overall, it gave us the protection we needed for a fun outdoor adventure.
Dale A
Smells Great! This product arrived quickly. The bottles spray well. I don't know how well this works for insect repellant, but the scent is quite nice. I ordered this with the intention of using it as a room spray, and with the hopes it would stop fruit flies from wishing to land on my shelves.
Aubry G
I'm not a fan of the cedarwood smell. It is a great way to repel flea and ticks. I've used wondercide (lemongrass) spray on my pup and fur life pendant that works great. I'm trying this natural product but the smell is not my liking.
Kerdionne
Great natural repellent - This 2-pack is great. It’s made from natural ingredients. I love that it’s safe for people and pets. I’ve tried it on both my dogs & me for our walks. It seems to help keep the gnats away from me & the mosquitos away from the dogs. It easy to apply with spray applicator. The scent is mild and not unpleasant. Great deal for the price. Recommend 9/10.
Suzy I
Our tick issue has been increasing in recent years, and we focus on multiple, natural ways to combat them here on our organic farm. I got this spray mostly for human use, planning to spray it on our boots and socks, particularly when moving through talk grass. From my own research, this is likely to be ok to use on our dog as well. But findings differ on the use of these oils on cats, particularly the rosemary. The vet written article I read said if you're going to try it, only use it at 1% ratio and this spray is 1.5%. For me, because I already have a cat with allergies and asthma, I'm not risking this. Be sure to be careful when using essential oils on animals. The labels on these are miniscule by the way, pretty impossible to read. I do like that this is made in the US. The spray comes out of the bottles in a nice mist and has a strong, not unpleasant smell. So far it seems to be working for us.
Dan P
Smells like cedar, but not keeping fleas away. Works for about 15-20 minutes but then stops.
Miko B.
Best pest control I've purchased. Highly effective and safe for my pets and backyard.
Erin P
I ordered this spray to be able to use on myself and my horse. I liked the fact that it is natural based and safe for people and pets! It has a pleasant smell! Seemed to be effective at repelling small pests.
The item needs to be packaged better - it arrived to me in a padded envelope. The bottle was safety sealed and the trigger spray top banded to the bottle. As a result of the flexible packaging, the spray tube was damaged and broke about 1” up from the bottom. The nozzle also leaked, so I had to twist the spray nozzle shut after each use. That’s the reason for only three stars.

very effective repellent, not a bad smell, can be used directly on pets. This stuff is actually pretty cool, it is a lot like off for people, except this one can be used on people and pets. It is supposed to be formulated specifically to keep fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, and other pests off of your pets, while you are on the go. Great for in the woods, Seems to repel everything, without being terribly scented. It says cedar, and rosemary. Whatever it is works. Great product, great price, highly recommended.

Bought this to put on my dogs when take them out on hikes. Not sure yet if it repels anything but I do know it smells really strong and my dogs run from me when I try and spray it on them . I got the cedar and rosemary. Really intense smell.

Seems To Work Pretty Well, But I Wouldn't Use It On Cats Or Where Cats Might Come In Contact With It. I got this because my big dog likes taking a lot of walks deep in the field and I was finding small ticks crawling on her after walks. I actually kind of like the smell of it, but the smell is strong and some people might not like that. I spray it on a paper towel and wipe a little on my dog's fur in key spots before we walk in the field and I haven't found any ticks crawling on her afterwards since I started using it. That could be a coincidence, but I do believe it works because I would see ticks after nearly every walk before using it. I use other flea prevention on my dog so I have no clue if it kills them as advertised. I did notice that flying insects haven't been around my dog as much either after I started using it. My dog doesn't act like she minds me wiping it on her at all so the smell and the product itself must not bother her in any way. She walks in the field every day, but I only wipe a little on her every other day and that seems to be enough to work. The label says it can be used daily though and I have no doubt it probably would need used daily if I was trying to use it to help control fleas. My only concern with the product is that it might not be safe for cats to come in contact with it since it contains rosemary oil. I personally wouldn't use it on dogs that lay with cats or get groomed by cats for that reason. I still think it's a great product though and would recommend it. I actually look forward to trying it on myself and my husband the next time we go fishing to see if it repels mosquitoes as claimed, but I haven't had the chance yet.

Very Effective: I purchased this spray for use on my sheep. Their tails are not docked, therefore they are at greater risk of fly strike and it is very important to deter flies from landing on them. This spray has a much more powerful scent than other livestock botanical insect repellents that we've purchased- a little goes a long way. I don't know that I would use it on myself due to the strong scent, but for the outdoor pets it is a great option.

Dog responded well to this (usually hides and cowers when I try to apply scented things to her coat) and came in from a day on our wooded property without any ticks. More telling, I used it myself for several dusk weeding sessions and was not bothered by mosquitoes which was a real test. It smells great! Did not irritate skin or ruin clothes it was sprayed on. The scent lasted for hours. The spray bottle didn't spray a nice even mist but it's workable especially if you spray it into your hands then apply to dog or self. Be sure to shake the bottle before trying to spray. A small amount of product leaked out during shipping but was captured by the zip lock plastic bag it shipped in. Great product that needs a better spray bottle.

Sprayed pants legs feet and around the dogs feet and under his belly were ticks seem to collect.
We were out in some areas we picked up ticks in the past without finding any on us after most of the day.
Would have to think this helped as every other time have picked up a minimum of 2 ticks.
What is horrible is the spray pump. It looks good but leaks all over the place and hard to use.
Will land up changing to another sprayer as landed up with more on our hands and dripping all over the place then on the target we were trying to spray.

Finally no peppermint! I hate topical poison put on my dogs and prefer to use all natural collars and sprays. SO many have peppermint, and when you have a house with cats that love their pups, I worry about them ingesting it and getting sick. I love this has no mint, both for my furkids and myself, as I hate the smell. Instead, I LOVE the smell of this!! It smells of cedarwood with a hint of rosemary, which is the "menthol" smell you might get (which is in a lot of commercial pet foods and treats, deemed as safe).
I spray at the neck, chest, and butt, and have a "bug spray" brush to spread it about, including on the top of her head and below her chin, I am very careful so it's not right below her nose. My girl knows the routine by now. If we go hiking, I take off her collar, spray it, and let it dry, and then her legs/feet once we get there.
So far, no ticks or fleas, and more bugs stay away.

I received the product damaged, so I can’t actually ‘review’ the product. I am hoping the replacement one is in perfect condition so I can use it in my dog and see if it actually works. Will update when I am able to try it out.

Fantastic So Far. I was thrilled to try this out since it was safe for humans and pets. My dogs can't stand sprays of any kind and take off running. I am able to just put this on my hands first and give them pets and they have no complaints. We have had a severe flea problem so far this season so we're aggressively treating the pets and their areas so I can't claim that this alone has solved the flea problem but that it hasn't created its own problem of having to spray them. My bottle arrived with the safety seal seeming to be disintegrating and there was a very slight leak during shipment. After opening, the seal completely dissolved within a day. Honestly, this made me a little nervous about the product but I've used it with no issues at all. I think the issue is a faulty seal material. In any case, this smells great to me but seems to not be a favorite of fleas or other insects. If the results I've seen thus far continue, this will become my go-to spray as the blue bottle I have used for years has really let me down this year.

Smells so good. First of all, I have to say that the scent of this spray is fantastic. It smells nothing like normal bug repellents but I've used in the past. This is an all-natural option. I am really pleased with the results. We've been putting it on our dog and have seen no ticks so far. We use it on our own skin when we're sitting on the back porch to repel bugs and it's been working.

Works as intended. I used this on my dog and myself before going on a long hike in the forest. I am in an area known for many ticks, and nothing seems to repel them. After using this, I found two ticks on my pants, and one on my dog, but they acted as if they were trying to get away from the sprayed areas, and they were not attached to skin. One thing to note, if your dog is timid/scared/acts out around strange noises...just spray the product on your hand and then wipe through the dog hair. Worked out OK for us. Also, this stuff smells great. It's all-natural ingredients and fabric safe. I've now sprayed it into her collar, on my backpack, on her harness, and her leash just in case.

Firstly, this smells awesome. I would spray stuff down with it just to smell it, but that's me :)
I've only used this once so far (on myself) and it seemed to do a good job, as I didn't notice any bugs on me. I didn't notice MORE bugs flying towards me, either, so the scent isn't THAT strong/attractive, which is good.
I haven't tried it on my dog yet, but the ingredients are simple and shouldn't cause any issues with dogs, so I am looking forward to trying it on her.

Smells woodsy! I'm not a fan of bug spray either it smells terrible, has deet, feels greasy or doesn't work. I typically use picaridin which doesn't smell or feel greasy and it's amazing. I'm giving this a shot and love the amount you get and smell so far. I'll be testing this out i on the central gulf coast of Florida during swamp hikes and coastal adventures. Fingers crossed I'll be back with results soon.

It has a nice scent and didn't irritate our dog's skin. We haven't really had time to really try it out on a hike yet because it's been so hot. I opted for this product because it has a list of all of the ingredients and they seem safe vs the harsh chemicals in most repellents. My dog, while not a fan of having things sprayed on him, he tolerates this enough since you don't have to completely soak him.
