THE ESSENTIALS
Good to know.
Everything you need to know about Critter Control.
How It Works Plant-powered protection, explained.
Bugs like mosquitoes use a combination of signals, including body odors and carbon dioxide, to locate people. Critter Control takes a botanical approach with a specially formulated blend of essential oils.
Featuring Citronella, Peppermint, Cedarwood and Lemongrass, our plant-based formula is designed for convenient everyday bug protection, without DEET.

Where To Spray From backyard days to outdoor adventures.
Designed for versatile use, Critter Control makes it easy to prepare for outdoor moments. Always follow the application directions on your product label.
01 — ON YOUR BODY
If your product label permits direct skin application, apply an even mist to exposed skin as directed, paying attention to areas such as ankles, wrists and the neck. Never spray directly into your face. Avoid eyes and mouth.
02 — CLOTHING & GEAR
For label-approved fabric use, apply to clothing, socks, hats or outdoor gear as directed. Test a small, inconspicuous area first to check material compatibility.
03 — OUTDOOR SPACES
For products labeled for area or surface treatment, follow the specific directions for patios, seating areas and outdoor furnishings. Avoid food-contact surfaces unless the label permits use.
How Much Do I Need? Smart coverage, less guesswork.
For best results, apply the amount recommended on the label and aim for even coverage of the applicable areas.
EVERYDAY OUTDOOR USE
Heading out for a garden break, backyard gathering or neighborhood walk? Follow the label's directions for coverage and application.
HIGH-EXPOSURE ACTIVITIES
Spending time near wooded trails, standing water or areas with heavy insect activity? Cover exposed areas as directed and consider additional protective clothing and precautions.
WHEN TO REAPPLY
Reapply at the interval stated on your bottle's label. Swimming, heavy sweating and toweling off may affect coverage. Follow the label for any additional application instructions and limits.

"I wanted something simple for the house that didn’t involve coating everything in harsh chemicals."
"THIS EARNED A PERMANENT SPOT UNDER OUR SINK."
We used it during a weekend bug invasion and I was honestly impressed. I sprayed the doorways and along the kitchen baseboards. It held up great and made a noticeable difference the moment the bugs tried to come out. I’m reordering before our next bottle runs out.

"We've tried toxic sprays and those sticky traps. Something always ran out, wore off, or smelled awful."
"THESE MADE BUG SEASON WAY LESS CHAOTIC."
I sprayed along our baseboards and window sills right before the summer heat hit. Usually, that’s when the ants and spiders go wild. This time, nobody was complaining, getting bitten, or spotting bugs in the corners. That alone made it worth it.

FAQ
Is this spray really safe to use around my dog and cat?
Absolutely! Our formula relies entirely on natural, plant-based ingredients that are toxic to bugs but completely safe to use around humans and pets. We just recommend allowing the spray to dry for a few minutes before letting pets lick or walk on the wet area.
How long does one application last?
It depends on the severity of your bug problem. For active infestations, we recommend spraying every few days to drive them out. Once the bugs are gone, applying it once every 1 to 2 weeks is enough to keep your home bug-free.
Can I use this in my kitchen near food?
Yes! Because it is chemical-free and non-toxic, it is perfectly safe to use in kitchens and pantries. Just avoid spraying it directly onto exposed food.
Does this actually kill the bugs, or just repel them?
It does both! If you spray it directly onto a bug, the natural oils act quickly to break down their exoskeleton and eliminate them. When sprayed around the home as a barrier, the strong essential oil scent repels pests and stops them from entering in the first place.
Will it stain my white walls, carpets, or furniture?
No. Our spray uses a water-based essential oil mixture that is non-staining and non-greasy. However, as with any liquid, we always recommend doing a quick patch test on delicate or antique fabrics just to be 100% safe.
