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.** 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.
