Safe & Sustainable Tick and Mosquito Protection for People and Pets

Spending time outdoors should be about making memories, not swatting at mosquitoes or worrying about ticks. Many insect repellents rely on synthetic chemicals, leaving those with safety and environmental concerns searching for a better solution. And while typically at Park Seed we're talking about pests in the garden, this time we're talking about pests on YOU!

That’s where this all-natural, cedar-oil-based insect repellent comes in. Formulated with powerful botanical ingredients, it provides a safe, sustainable, and highly effective way to keep ticks, mosquitoes, and other biting insects away—without exposing your family or pets to harsh chemicals.

Why Choose a Natural Repellent?

Ticks and mosquitoes are not only irritating, they can transmit illnesses too. Traditional insect repellents often rely on synthetic chemicals like DEET, which some people prefer to avoid, especially when protecting children and pets.

Natural solutions, like cedar oil and certain essential oils, work by disrupting the pheromones and sensory receptors that pests rely on to locate their hosts. This makes them an effective and eco-friendly alternative for pest control.

Why Choose a Cedar-Oil-Based Repellent?

Unlike conventional insect sprays that contain DEET or permethrin, this plant-powered formula is:

  • Safe for the Whole Family – Gentle enough for children and pets.
  • Eco-Friendly & Biodegradable – Won’t harm beneficial insects like bees and butterflies.
  • Non-Toxic & DEET-Free – No synthetic pesticides, parabens, or harmful additives.
  • Highly Effective – Provides reliable protection against ticks, mosquitoes, fleas, and other biting pests.

With a formula based on cedar oil, nature’s own insect deterrent, this repellent works just as well, if not better, than chemical-based options, while offering a cleaner, safer alternative for outdoor protection.


How It Works: The Power of Cedar Oil & Essential Oils

Cedar oil has been used for centuries as a natural insect repellent, and for good reason: it effectively disrupts the nervous system of pests while remaining completely safe for humans and animals. Here’s how it works:

A Triple-Action Defense Against Pests:

  1. Disorients & Repels – Cedar oil interferes with octopamine, a neurotransmitter that insects rely on for movement and navigation. This makes it difficult for pests to find or land on you.
  2. Dehydrates & Eliminates – When ticks, mosquitoes, or fleas come into direct contact with cedar oil, it disrupts their respiratory system and dehydrates them.
  3. Creates a Protective Barrier – Once applied to the skin, clothing, or pet fur, the formula forms a natural shield, preventing insects from latching on.

Enhanced with Essential Oils for Added Protection:

This repellent is infused with powerful botanical extracts that enhance its effectiveness:

  • Geranium Oil: One of the most effective natural tick repellents.
  • Rosemary Oil: Deters mosquitoes and other flying insects.
  • Lemon Eucalyptus Oil: A well-researched natural mosquito repellent, recommended by the CDC.

Together, these ingredients create a powerhouse formula that naturally keeps pests away without the drawbacks of synthetic chemicals.

 

Safe for Pets, Too!

Among the many benefits of this repellent is its pet-friendly formula. Unlike chemical treatments that can irritate a pet’s skin or pose ingestion risks, this solution is:

  • Safe for direct application on dogs (simply spritz onto fur and rub in).
  • Free from harmful toxins that can build up in your pet’s system.
    Effective against fleas and ticks—keeping your furry friends pest-free naturally.

Application Tip: For best results, apply between the shoulder blades and at the base of the tail before outdoor activities.

  • Lasts for hours – While natural ingredients do require reapplication every couple of hours, they provide reliable protection without the need for synthetic chemicals.

Additional Tips for Natural Pest Control

  1. Dress Smart: Wear light-colored clothing to make ticks easier to spot. Tucking pants into socks adds an extra layer of protection.
  2. Create a Tick-Safe Yard: Apply cedar oil spray to grassy areas, especially along garden beds and wooded perimeters.
  3. Regular Pet Checks: After time outdoors, run your hands through your pet’s fur, paying close attention to the ears, neck, and legs.
  4. Maintain Essential Oil Quality: Store your repellent in a cool, dark place to preserve potency.

How to Apply:

  • For Personal Use: Lightly mist exposed skin and clothing before going outside. Reapply every 1-2 hours, especially if sweating or during peak mosquito activity.
  • For Outdoor Gatherings: Spray the perimeter of seating areas to create a bug-free zone.
  • For Camping: Apply to tents, gear, and clothing for all-around protection.

Reapplication Frequency: Essential oil-based sprays don’t have the staying power of synthetic repellents, so reapply every couple of hours, particularly in the evening or if you're in heavily wooded or damp areas.
