LEMON EUCALYPTUS OIL MOSQUITO & TICK REPELLENT MIST
- What it is

- Ingredients
Our best-selling spray. But misty.
Our repellent mist harnesses the natural power of oil of lemon eucalyptus to provide protection against mosquitoes and ticks for hours. Suitable for application to all ages and tested not to harm gear, this EPA-registered formula provides botanical protection against mosquitoes and ticks with a cool, refreshing scent.
The natural smell of oil of lemon eucalyptus masks the human aromas that make us attractive to mosquitoes. By hiding your scent, mosquitoes turn nose-blind making, them unable to locate their targets. Plus, with our new 360° application, we’ve got your back!*
*And your arms and your legs and your neck and your just above the socks and your wherever-else-you-spray-us.
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:
- Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus (30%)
INERT INGREDIENTS:
- Deionized Water, Corn Ethanol (70%)
No synthetic repellent. No ozone-depleting propellant. No dyes. No added fragrance.
OIL OF LEMON EUCALYPTUS
Oil of lemon eucalyptus is produced from the distilled oil of the Eucalyptus citriodora tree. We are proud to partner with Citrefine who sources this oil from a steam distillation process that minimizes waste and utilizes a closed-loop recycled water cycle. Powerful protection paired with sustainable sourcing makes oil of lemon eucalyptus a can't-get-any-better-than-this ingredient.
FAQs
I live in California, why can’t I add this product to my order?
We are currently in the process of having our 6oz spray approved by the state of California. In the meantime, you can still order our Lemon Eucalyptus Oil Mosquito & Tick Repellent Spray.
Why don't we disclose the "other 70%" ingredients on our label?
The other 70% of ingredients are deionized water and corn ethanol. These aren't listed on the bottle due to strict regulations set forth by the EPA that only allow "Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus" to be named. We would love for them to be listed out as well!
Are there any age restrictions for this product?
In their most recent evaluation, the EPA found nothing that warranted an age restriction and so has removed any age restriction from 30% OLE (Citriodiol®) products, such as Murphy’s Naturals Lemon Eucalyptus Oil Mosquito & Tick Repellent Mist.
Is this an aerosol product?
Our aluminum cans are filled with an inner bag that holds our Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus repellent which is surrounded with compressed air. That means that no chemical propellants are used to expel the Lemon Eucalyptus Oil formula from the bottle.
Is this safe on gear/fabrics?
Our spray is safe for outdoor gear and most fabrics. However, we do strongly recommend testing a small amount of product on an inconspicuous part of the fabric first just to be sure.
What insects does this repel?
Spray on your skin or gear to repel mosquitoes for up to six hours, deer ticks for up to four hours, and lone star and brown dog ticks for more than eight hours.
We do not currently have data on the efficacy of any other insects at this time and are unable to make any testing-backed claims.
Is this TSA-approved?
While our 6oz Mist version is not currently TSA approved, our 2oz Lemon Eucalyptus Oil Mosquito & Tick Repellent Spray is TSA approved for carry-on. We always suggest checking with the specific airline you are flying with as rules and regulations change often.
Is this the same repellent that comes in a spray bottle?
Sure is! This is the same effective mosquito and tick repellent that also comes in a 4oz or 2oz spray pump bottle, just packaged in an easy to use continuous mist application form.
First use tips:
First, turn the nozzle fully* to the left so that you see the grey nozzle. You may notice that the first time you push down on the nozzle there is some resistance. To break the small safety seal on the nozzle press down firmly and you will hear a faint click before the spray starts to emit. You will not see any spray come out until the seal is broken. When you are done, twist the nozzle to the right to lock.
*If the nozzle is not fully in the open position the spray will not be able to spray evenly and may result in the product to run down the side of the bottle.
