This or That: Repel Vs. Pest Defy
Bella Martinez
It’s always a joy meeting outdoor-loving folks while camping, hiking, sunbathing on the beach or picnicking at the park. Unless they’re bugs. Unfortunately, insects love hanging out with people more than we appreciate their company. To all of you bugs out there, be gone! If asking isn’t enough, EG has just the thing.
Repel synergy blend is a protective combination of Ylang Ylang, Nootka Tree, Cedarwood, Catnip, Lemon Eucalyptus, Litsea, Arborvitae and Vanilla. Unlike over the counter bug sprays, Repel has an earthy aroma that people will love but bugs will find unbearable. Stay protected from unwelcome insects with Repel synergy blend.
This or That: Repel Vs. Pest Defy
Repel and Pest Defy were both created to ban bugs, so how does one decide between these two protective blends? Pest Defy is a simple blend with classic bug repelling EOs like Citronella essential oil. EG has remained bug-free on our outdoor adventures over the years with Pest Defy. Repel was formulated with new oils to Edens Garden, such as Nootka Tree and Catnip. We added Catnip as it has been found to be one of the most effective essential oils in repelling bugs naturally. Nepetalactone, a major constituent of Catnip, is currently trying to be produced synthetically by chemists as a replacement for DEET in many commercial bug sprays.
At EG, we understand everyone is different which is why we’ve formulated multiple blends that target the same issue. No matter which one you choose, both Repel and Pest Defy will defend against insects, making your outdoor experience a great one.
Also, we recommend that you see our Bug Bite Relief, essential oil for bug bites.

Will the pest defy also repel fleas? Is it safe for pets? Thank you
Hi Judy! Yes, Repel was renamed Bug Bite Relief. Both blends have the same ingredients and work to repel insects. We apologize for the confusion!
Hi Linda! We would suggest Pest Defy for that purpose.
Repel had the same oils as Bug Bite but Repel was designed to repel insects. Bug Bite says it’s for relief from the irritation from insect bites. I’m confused. Wish you had not discontinued Repel as I want the repellant properties. Does Bug Bite actual.y repel insects too?
Which of the oils would be best to dab or spray on body to repel mosquitos?
