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.

Hi Ol’ga! We don’t advise using essential oils in place of EPA-certified tick repellent for liability reasons.
Hi,
I’m looking especially for TICK repellent. Please advise.
Thanks, Oľga
Hi Kim! Here’s a recipe for you: in a glass spray bottle, add 2 tablespoons 190-proof alcohol, 24 drops Pest Defy. Combine and let sit for a few hours before adding 3 oz distilled water. Shake to combine and spray.
I am looking for a bug repellent for mosquitoes and flies for body application and can be put in a spray bottle.
Hi Marsha! Any carrier oil will do, but if you’re looking for a carrier oil with additional insect-repelling benefits, Neem is a good option. Please note that Neem has a very potent aroma.
