Every product is handmade in small batches by real people (hi, that's us!). Orders usually ship in 3 to 5 days, then the Post Office takes it from there. Think of it as farm-to-skin, not Prime-to-porch.

A powerful, plant-based shield for your outdoor adventures.

A Note on Our Name: You might remember this product by another name. We had to change it because a certain $37 billion company didn't appreciate a small, family-owned business using a common word they think they own. So now we're Critter Quitter. Same powerful, DEET-free formula you trust. Just a name that better reflects our small-but-mighty spirit.

Step outdoors with confidence. We created this DEET-free repellent because you shouldn't have to choose between being eaten alive and spraying yourself with harsh chemicals. This is your trusted solution, expertly formulated with a proprietary blend of potent, plant-based essential oils to offer superior protection against mosquitoes, ticks, and other pests. It's a lightweight, effective shield for your skin, your clothing, and your environment.

I knew our formula was effective for Oregon hikes, but the real test was when doctors and nurses started buying it to take on missions to the jungle. Hearing that it held up in the most extreme, mosquito-heavy conditions was everything. It's powerful proof that you don't need harsh chemicals to create something that actually works.

— Emily Whitlock, Co-Founder & Formulator

Why We Do It

A trip to Costa Rica gave me a chance to really test this bug spray. We were doing humanitarian work in jungle gardens so I knew good protection was very important. I was so amazed!! I only used Emz Blendz Bug Off the entire trip and wasn't bit except for the one day I forgot to use it! It definitely works.... and smells wonderful too. It's the only bug spray I will use and have bought it for all my family.

Small shop, real humans. Sometimes the label gets reprinted faster than the formula changes; sometimes the formula is current and the label is catching up. If you're managing an allergy or sensitivity, the safest path is to check both this page and the printed label. If anything's missing or unclear, ask us. We'd rather answer the question than have you guess.

Shake well before each use. Spray liberally on exposed skin, clothing, and your surrounding environment. Reapply as needed to maintain effectiveness, especially after sweating or swimming. For camping, mist your tent entrance and the perimeter of your hangout area for an extra layer of protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does natural bug spray actually work?

A: This one does. We've had customers take it to Costa Rica for humanitarian missions in the jungle, to Florida's mosquito-heavy summers, and all over the Pacific Northwest. The consistent feedback is that it works as well or better than the chemical stuff. The essential oil blend isn't just pleasant smelling herbs thrown together. It's a specific formulation designed to actually repel insects.

Q: Is it safe for kids and pets?

A: Yes. There's no DEET, no synthetic chemicals, no toxins. Just plant-based essential oils in a water base. That said, avoid spraying directly in eyes or mouths (good advice for any spray), and if your pet has sensitivity to essential oils, use on their collar or bedding rather than directly on fur.

Q: How often do I need to reapply?

A: Every 2-3 hours for consistent protection, or after swimming or heavy sweating. Natural formulas don't have the synthetic binders that make chemical sprays last longer, so reapplication is part of the deal. Keep the bottle handy and refresh as needed.

Effective Bug Spray

Surprisingly very effective spray. I purchased this for the first time several months back and just got a new order of it to hand off to family members. I swapped initially because I wanted a safer option with no chemicals, particularly for the kids. Other bug sprays I’ve used in the past leave a sticky residue. This one feels more like a body mist/spray with no sticky gross feeling. I reapply periodically like sunblock and the areas I’ve sprayed haven’t gotten bitten yet. Seems to work!

Tatiana, first bottle to family supply in a few months is an arc we know well. Emily first blended this after a family trip to Mexico, where the mosquitoes do not mess around, and one by one the whole family quietly abandoned the DEET sprays they had packed and kept borrowing hers instead. These days it packs along with doctors and nurses who travel to some of the buggiest places on earth, so your relatives are in good company. The no-sticky part has a simple answer: the entire formula is purified water, pure essential oils, and a food-grade emulsifier, nothing heavy enough to leave a film. Your reapplication instinct is exactly right too, essential oils fade as they evaporate, so a fresh pass now and then is how it is built to be used. And the bitten-free report is yours, which is the kind that counts.

Great Product

I live in Florida and am in constant warfare with mosquitoes. I hate the way traditional bug sprays smell and feel. Bug off is awesome. Not only does it smell great but it's light and almost nonexistent on my skin. Best of all, it WORKS.
