How long does it take to work? We find that a consistent approach usually leads to the insects giving up and going somewhere else.
Can I make the strength stronger safely? Our oil blend contains a proprietary mixture of Peppermint, Rosemary, Thyme, Citronella, Sage and Lavender essential oil. PMD extracted from oil of Lemon Eucalyptus. Nothing else is added. For oil burners and diffusers, we strongly recommend you follow the usage instructions for the appliance when using our product. If you are using our product on cotton wool balls to leave around the house, then using several drops (say up to 10 per cotton wool ball) is fine. Just remember to ensure that they are kept away from young children as they are a choking hazard. For dilution in spray bottles, etc. this really does depend upon the situation and usage. Our advice is to apply 10 drops of oil to the water per 100ml, but this can be increased if you feel a stronger scent is needed. Please only use stronger applications in well-ventilated areas, not directly on to delicate items or fabric/cloth and always away from children or pets.
Can I use regular tap water to dilute oil for spraying? Yes, you can dilute our repellent oil with water straight from the tap. Unlike ‘ready-made’ repellents that only have the capacity provided by the bottle purchased, our product goes further and is far more economical. Our 30ml bottle will make up to 6 litres of spray.
How much do I have to use? Our repellent is aroma based so you should use regularly to maintain the deterrent smell of our oil blend. For most uses following our usage and frequency instructions will provide a level of aroma to help in repelling insects.
Is your product pet safe? In general pets also are not big fans of the aroma of our oil blend, but in general do not find difficulty in living in homes that use smell-based deterrents. Like all essential oils our undiluted oil should always be stores away from children and animals. It should also never be used on human or animal skin or consumed. Our product only contains a proprietary blend of Peppermint, Rosemary, Thyme, Citronella, Sage and Lavender essential oil. PMD extracted from oil of Lemon Eucalyptus so it is not poison based. This is why we created our effective, but humane deterrent.
Will I be allergic? Our product only contains a proprietary blend of Peppermint, Rosemary, Thyme, Citronella, Sage and Lavender essential oil. PMD extracted from oil of Lemon Eucalyptus, so if you are not allergic to any of these substances then you will not have an allergic reaction.
Is it skin and food safe? Essential oils in their undiluted form should never be applied directly to the skin, however diluted essential oils (dilution by carrier oil, water, etc.) are safe to use on the skin or come into contact with food. Please always use our product after reading and following the usage instructions. Do not use if you are allergic to Peppermint, Rosemary, Thyme, Citronella, Sage and Lavender essential oil. PMD extracted from oil of Lemon Eucalyptus.
Is your product tested on animals? Absolutely no cruelty or testing on animals has been used in the making of this and all our products. The only testing that has been done is completely humane testing to find the best blend of the essential oils used to be the most effective repellent.
