Why Citrobug Natural Insect Repellent Oil Works

➕ How do essential oils repel mosquitoes?
Mosquitoes find people by scent and body heat. Strong aromatic oils mask those cues, so mosquitoes are less likely to land and bite.
➕ Why blend five essential oils instead of one?
Each oil contributes different aromatic compounds, so the five together give a broader scent barrier than any single oil.
➕ Why is it in an oil base rather than alcohol?
The oil base holds the essential oils on the skin and slows evaporation, without the sting of alcohol sprays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Product Information

➕ What is the difference between the 125ml and 250ml?
The formula is identical. The 125ml fits a backpack, while the 250ml is better value for families.
➕ Is it registered with Health Canada?
Yes. Citrobug repellents are registered with Health Canada as pest control products.
➕ Does it contain DEET?
No. The repellent action comes entirely from essential oils, with no DEET, parabens or synthetic repellents.
➕ Is there a separate version for children?
Yes, Citrobug Insect Repellent Oil for Kids comes in a 125ml bottle for children 2 years and older.

Benefits of Ingredients

➕ What does lemon oil do in this formula?
Lemon oil is rich in limonene and citral, citrus compounds with a sharp scent that mosquitoes avoid. It also gives the spray its fresh, clean smell.
➕ Why is eucalyptus oil included?
Eucalyptus oil contains cineole, an aromatic compound long used to deter biting insects. It adds a cool, camp-friendly scent to the blend.
➕ What role do geranium and camphor play?
Geranium oil contributes geraniol and citronellol, both known insect-deterring compounds. Camphor adds a strong, penetrating note that rounds out the scent barrier.

Usage and Storage

➕ How often can I reapply?
Reapply every 2 hours only if you are still exposed to mosquitoes. Apply sparingly and only when needed.
➕ Can I use it with sunscreen?
Yes. Apply sunscreen first and let it absorb, then apply the repellent on top.
➕ How should I store it?
Keep it closed at room temperature, away from heat and sunlight.

Spray a thin film on exposed skin; apply sparingly and not under clothing. Reapply every 2 hours only if exposure to mosquitoes continues. Ages 2 and up.
