How it Works
Fast-Acting, Plant-Powered Ingredients
Picaridin, a compound bioidentical to those found in long black pepper plants (1-Methylpropyl-2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1piperidine carboxylate), is the active ingredient used in our spray. It works to repel mosquitoes, ticks, gnats and other pests by producing a smell that’s offensive to insects but odorless to people. Picaridin insect repellents provide an alternative to those that use DEET.
