How long will this spray protect me from different tick species?

Protection time varies by species: the formula provides repellency against deer ticks for up to four hours, and against lone star and brown ticks for up to eight hours. Factors such as sweating, water exposure, and activity level can reduce these intervals, so reapply as needed during extended outdoor exposure.

• Deer ticks: up to 4 hours of repellency
• Lone star ticks: up to 8 hours of repellency
• Brown ticks: up to 8 hours of repellency
• Reapply after heavy sweating, swimming, or prolonged time outdoors

What makes this a plant-based alternative to DEET?

The formula uses a plant-derived active ingredient rather than synthetic DEET, offering a botanical option for those seeking fewer chemical-based repellents. It’s crafted to perform on exposed skin and fabric while supporting a milder scent profile and reduced synthetic chemical exposure.
