Grandpa Gus's Natural Tick & Mosquito Repellent Spray, 2-Pack (2 x 4 oz) — DEET-Free, Plant-Oil Protection up to 8 hrs

Grandpa Gus's Natural Tick and Mosquito DEET-Free Repellent Spray is a plant-oil insect repellent in a convenient two-pack that protects skin and clothing against ticks and mosquitoes without DEET.

Formulated from plant-derived essential oils including geraniol, lemongrass, and peppermint, this ready-to-use spray aims to keep biting insects off you during outdoor activities. Packaged as two 4 oz bottles, it’s intended for hikers, campers, gardeners, and families who prefer non-DEET protection. The spray applies to exposed skin and clothing, rinses off with soap and water, and is designed to be non-greasy and fabric-friendly.

How long does this natural repellent protect against ticks and mosquitoes?

The formula is designed for extended protection compared with many natural alternatives: up to eight hours against ticks and up to six hours against mosquitoes under typical conditions. Actual duration varies with activity level, sweating, and environmental exposure, so reapply after heavy sweating or prolonged outdoor time.

• Ticks: up to 8 hours of repellency in standard conditions
• Mosquitoes: up to 6 hours of repellency in standard conditions
• Reapply after heavy perspiration, swimming, or towel drying
• Shake well before each use for consistent performance

Is this repellent safe for kids and sensitive skin?

Grandpa Gus's is formulated without DEET and uses dermatologist-tested essential oils that are non-irritating for most people. It’s intended for adult application to children and is labeled as non-greasy and non-staining; however, always test a small skin patch first and follow label directions.

• Dermatologist-tested and non-irritating in general use
• Apply to adult hands first before applying to a child’s face
• Not formulated for use on pets — use veterinarian-approved products for animals
• For external use only; avoid eyes and broken skin

How should I apply the spray for best protection?

Hold the bottle 4–6 inches from skin or clothing, spray evenly and rub in if directed, and include clothing areas where ticks can enter such as pant legs and cuffs. Reapply approximately every eight hours or sooner if you’ve been in water or have been sweating heavily.

• Shake bottle well before use
• Spray exposed skin and spray directly onto pant legs and sleeves
• Apply to hands first when using on the face, avoiding eyes and mouth
• 2 bottles per pack — 4 oz each for easy carry and sharing

What are the active ingredients and product features?

The spray relies on plant-derived essential oils such as geraniol, lemongrass, and peppermint rather than synthetic chemicals like DEET. The formula emphasizes ease of use, non-greasiness, and compatibility with outdoor gear and clothing while offering an Old-Time Handshake Guarantee from Grandpa Gus's.

• Plant-based geraniol, lemongrass, and peppermint oils
• Non-greasy, non-staining organic formulation
• Ready-to-use aerosol-style spray in 4 oz bottles — two bottles included
• For camping, hiking, yard work, and everyday outdoor activity

Who is this for? If you prefer DEET-free, plant-based insect protection for family outings, work in the yard, or trail activities, this two-pack offers portable coverage for multiple people or multi-day outings. It’s suited to parents who want a gentle repellent option, outdoor enthusiasts who like lightweight 4 oz bottles, and anyone seeking a non-synthetic insect repellent alternative for clothing and skin. Always follow label directions and test for individual skin sensitivity before widespread use.
