In an insect-deterring base of soya bean oil, this special blend of insect-repelling oils features the active ingredient catnip oil, which has been the subject of a University of Iowa study and shown to be 10 times more effective than DEET, and the EPA-registered insect repellent, lemon eucalyptus oil. Imagine being able to protect yourself and your family from dangerous West Nile Virus-carrying mosquitoes without the toxic effects of DEET. A simple internet search will turn up the plethora of warnings about the neurotoxicity of DEET (N, N-diethyl-meta-toluamide), especially on infants and children.** BUZZ-OFF is extremely effective and completely safe for all ages, even infants and children. Click here for the full report from the University of Iowa on the effectiveness of catnip oil and here for the lemon eucalyptus oil recommendation from the Environmental Protection Agency.
Warning:
Buzz-Off should not be used in mountainous areas where wild cats might be present. Catnip oil does attract wild cats, including mountain lions, cougars, and bobcats. Do not use this product if there is a danger of attracting a wild cat!
