Its refreshing scent and non-greasy texture make it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and families seeking a natural alternative to chemical repellents. Trusted worldwide for safe, long-lasting defense against mosquitoes that may carry serious viruses. ## Description Outdoor enthusiasts know that when the going gets tough, so should their insect repellent. However extreme the activity or terrain, there's a Repel insect repellent designed to offer dependable coverage that lasts as long as you need it to. Repel products make effective mosquito protection simple under any circumstance—so you can heed the call of the wild wherever the trail takes you. DEET-free Repel Plant-Based Lemon Eucalyptus Insect Repellent provides protection for a range of activities, from your backyard to your travel destinations. Find a bug spray that fits your needs and enjoy protection that lasts for hours. This formula is made with oil of lemon eucalyptus, a plant-based ingredient that is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This insect repellent won't leave you greasy or sticky, making it a great spray-and-go option for busy weekends. Repel mosquitoes that may transmit the Zika, West Nile, Dengue and Chikungunya viruses without the DEET. If you’re looking for a DEET-free alternative to create a mosquito barrier, then oil of lemon eucalyptus is a great option. Derived from the leaves of the Eucalyptus citriodora tree, oil of lemon eucalyptus repels mosquitoes for up to six hours. You can use oil of lemon eucalyptus-based products on children 3 years and older. Review: This swamp dweller says: Throw away your DEET products and use this instead - Update 11/10/2014: Executive summary or tl;dr: When applied correctly, this works as well as DEET on mosquitoes. Approved by governmental agencies for use in malaria-prone areas. EXTREMELY SMELLY. Buy and use it with confidence. I have been using this product to repel mosquitoes exclusively for seven years. I became so confident in it that I volunteered to survey wildlife in New England bogs and swamps for six years running. I can't think of a better test than standing around in prime mosquito territory for four hours at a time just daring them to bite. It works every time and they don't get their free lunch. I also used it in Alaska, Kenya, and India and was NEVER BITTEN. This is the only non-DEET product that the International Travel Clinic at Dartmouth-Hitchcock recommends to those with destinations in malaria-prone countries, and oil of lemon eucalyptus is one of only two non-DEET chemicals approved by the CDC. There are many reviews here that say this product didn't work well for them. I wonder if it may be that some people are not applying it correctly. This is an oil, not an aerosol, and it must be applied like sunscreen. The pump is merely for convenience. You spray some on, and then rub it over the entire area to be protected. If you fail to cover everything, the mosquitoes will home in on the uncovered area and bite there instead. You must apply this to your skin UNDER your clothes! Mosquitoes can bite through jeans, so thin summer shirts and shorts are no barrier to them. You must also apply enough of the oil. If you stretch it too thin, it will not protect you. I cannot overstate how PUNGENT this stuff is; I wonder if some people don't apply enough because of the strong smell. You may have to try different amounts a few times until you find the amount that works right for you. Still, you don't have to slather on half a bottle or anything. The quickest I've ever gone through a supply was the one summer where I spent four days a week of swamp slogging with eight hours logged each day, and that only used one bottle. I'm pretty sure most people won't need nearly as much. You must re-apply the oil at regular intervals. The effectiveness will wear off long BEFORE the smell does, so many people may think they are still protected when they are not. Re-apply every four to six hours. As an oil, this stuff is somewhat water resistant, but you will have to reapply sooner if you are swimming. Another reason why people may think this isn't working is because it only keeps the mosquitoes from biting. It won't keep them from seeking you out. This is because it does not jam their long range radar, only the short range. A mosquito tracks potential prey using different senses when hunting for a potential lunch, than when it is looking for the safest place to bite an already discovered one. What happens with this stuff is they get close, and then get really confused. It's like they can see you until they get within a foot, and then you disappear. You can have several mosquitoes hovering around you, but none of them can find a good place to bite. They eventually give up and look for a less confusing blood source. Lemon Eucalyptus will NOT work for you if you primarily want to repel black flies, ticks, or chiggers. In my experience, it is only so-so in repelling deer flies. Finally, this stuff is AMAZINGLY SMELLY. In outdoor environments, this usually isn't a problem. But you really, really, really don't want to apply it before getting in a small enclosed space like an elevator or a car. Even outside, some people will hate the smell, others like it better than the DEET spray alternatives. It kinda smells like cough drops mixed with citronella. Unlike most repellents, the smell does not fade much with time. You are going to smell like this until you shower. If you wore clothes over it, they will smell of it until they are washed. But I think the smell is a small price to pay to stay bite-free. Original review from 2007: I am allergic to Deet. I've been the one at the back of the camping/hiking/fishing trips silently feeding millions of mosquitoes and other biting insects in misery for years- until now. I've tried everything on the market and was always disappointed, since all the deet free products I tried either triggered my allergies or just plain didn't work. This year, my doctor recommended I try the deet-free Repel, and I am sold. The difference is like night and day. We took it on a trip photographing butterflies and dragonflies in swamps in the Rio Grande Valley, TX, and came away bite free. Didn't work on chiggers, but I don't think it's supposed to. I'm not sure it lasts as long as the deet-containing products- my husband started using it exclusively as well, and he has to apply it more often than the Off or Cutter products he used to use. But I'm talking a drop from six hours of effectiveness to four, hardly a problem if you have room in your pack to carry the stuff. Also, it smells like Eucalyptus, which some people don't like, and you will smell of it for HOURS, even after it has lost it's effectiveness or until you take a shower. Review: Works (Much) Better Than Regular Mosquito Bug Repellant - This mosquito repellent REALLY works. No fooling. Mosquitos and other small bothersome insects, like biting flies, really seem to dislike this Lemon Eucalyptus repellent. They seem to hate it much more than they hate other popular mosquitos repellents. I kind of like the smell of this stuff, but the little critters sure don't. I use this bug repellent not because it's "natural." That doesn't appeal to me. Actually, I am negatively predisposed against these sorts of "natural" products. I figure modern science, including modern chemists, have got the necessary details of things we humans need worked out to our benefit. I grew up in a household that embraced these sorts of "alternative," natural products, and so naturally I rebelled against natural-type products completely. WELL, that impulse was counterproductive here. I don't like DEET because it dissolves plastic, and I had some mosquito spray on my leg mess up part of my car's plastic interior when I brushed against it. So, no DEET for me. I went that other route, with that Picaridin stuff. It wasn't as popular as DEET, apparently because it is newer and thus not as well adopted. Picaridin works pretty well. But not as well as this Lemon Eucalyptus. I hope insects and flies don't get used to the smell of this stuff, because it is shockingly effective at keeping them away. Deep down, I felt a little weird spraying my head and near my mucous membranes (eyes, mouth) with regular mosquito spray. I did it anyways, very gingerly though, because I am a favorite treat of biting insects. Using this Lemon Eucalyptus is appealing due to its naturalness (despite my knee-jerk prejudice), so I spray it on my head and around my face (some flies target one's eyes!), as well as the typical body parts mosquitos target, like arms, neck, lower leg, any exposed skin they get their devious little blood-sucking apparatus on, and my bug problem goes away. Basically, this stuff is magic. It is not perfect, however. It tends to be more expensive than regular mosquito or insect repellant. I buy it anyways because it works so well. A bigger drawback is that for whatever reason, it seems to evaporate from the container its in faster than regular mosquito/bug repellant. I'm guessing because the Lemon Eucalyptus is some kind of "essential oil" and volatile? I'm not sure why, but despite these issues, I get it because it's worked so well for me. Naturally, your mileage may vary. My mileage with the bugs we have here in So Cal has been excellent, so I've settled on this spray and will keep buying it for the foreseeable future. My recommendation: give it a try. If it works half as well for you as it does for me, it's a "keeper." ## Features - MADE WITH OIL OF LEMON EUCALYPTUS: This DEET-free insect repellent provides you with protection during adventures in the backyard and on the go. - REPELS MOSQUITOES FOR UP TO 6 HOURS: This repellent keeps you and your family protected for hours, so the fun doesn't have to end. - REFRESHING SCENT: This DEET-free personal repellent leaves you with a cool, refreshing scent so you don't have to put up with the usual bug spray smell. - REPELS: Create a barrier against mosquitoes, including those that may transmit the Zika, West Nile, Dengue and Chikungunya viruses. - NOT GREASY OR STICKY: Formulated with oil of lemon eucalyptus to provide protection without leaving your skin feeling sticky or greasy. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004N59OFU | | Best Sellers Rank | #43,453 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #522 in Insect & Pest Repellent Sprays | | Brand | Repel | | Brand Name | Repel | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 44,415 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00011423941092 | | Included Components | Unit^Instruction Guide | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Outdoor | | Item Form | Aerosol | | Item Nype Name | Repel Lemon Eucalyptus Natural Insect Repellent, 4-Ounce Pump Spray | | Item Volume | 4 fluid ounces | | Item Weight | 4.64 ounces | | Manufacturer | United Industries | | Manufacturer Part Number | 94109 | | Material Feature | Deet free and made from the oil of eucalyptus | | Material Features | Deet free and made from the oil of eucalyptus | | Model Number | HG-94109E | | Number of Items | 1 | | Scent | Lemon | | Scent Name | Lemon | | Size | 1 Pack | | Target Species | Mosquito | | UPC | 011423941092 066510486192 | | Unit Count | 4 Fluid Ounces | | Warranty Description | Manufacturer's satisfaction guarantee | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Repel - **Item Form:** Aerosol - **Item Volume:** 4 fluid ounces - **Material Feature:** Deet free and made from the oil of eucalyptus - **Scent:** Lemon ## Images ![Repel Plant-Based Lemon Eucalyptus Insect Repellent 4 Ounces, Repels Mosquitoes Up To 6 Hours, Oil,Spray - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7120RKwd4xL.jpg) ![Repel Plant-Based Lemon Eucalyptus Insect Repellent 4 Ounces, Repels Mosquitoes Up To 6 Hours, Oil,Spray - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81EfrvVOpjL.jpg) ![Repel Plant-Based Lemon Eucalyptus Insect Repellent 4 Ounces, Repels Mosquitoes Up To 6 Hours, Oil,Spray - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91-y4nRRpVL.jpg) ![Repel Plant-Based Lemon Eucalyptus Insect Repellent 4 Ounces, Repels Mosquitoes Up To 6 Hours, Oil,Spray - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71rrBa19WML.jpg) ![Repel Plant-Based Lemon Eucalyptus Insect Repellent 4 Ounces, Repels Mosquitoes Up To 6 Hours, Oil,Spray - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81XmQZni8fL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: what are the other ingredients that make up 70% of this product?** A: According to the Repel website for this product, the 305-62 yellow link reveals the safety data sheet. This lists ingredients including 30 percent by weight as citriodiol (the lemon eucalyptus component) and 45 percent ethanol. The other 25 percent ingredients are either "proprietary or non-hazardous." So it could be 25 percent water, or 25 percent some unique and proprietary chemical we have no clue about. The safety data sheet does note that it does not contain ingredients known to the state of California to cause birth defects. **Q: What are the reasons this product cannot be used on pets?** A: Like many natural plant oils, lemon eucalyptus is an irritant. Always look for the Materials Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for any product before you buy. In this case, find it by googling "repel 94109 msds" and you'll get the sheet (MSDS-305-62-July10.pdf). Basically, this will cause injury to the eyes or if swallowed. **Q: Can you use this repellent in Africa where you have mosquitos carrying malaria?? Susan** A: For Africa where malaria, Zika, etc., are present, the CDC's website says you can use DEET **OR** several other products including those with lemon eucalyptus oil if you follow directions properly. Specifically, "Products containing the following active ingredients typically provide reasonably long-lasting protection: DEET (chemical name: N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide or N,N-diethyl-3-methyl-benzamide). Products containing DEET include, but are not limited to, Off!, Cutter, Sawyer, and Ultrathon. Picaridin (KBR 3023 Bayrepel and icaridin outside the US; chemical name: 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperidinecarboxylic acid 1-methylpropyl ester). Products containing picaridin include, but are not limited to, Cutter Advanced, Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus, and Autan (outside the US). Oil of lemon eucalyptus (OLE) or PMD (chemical name: para-menthane-3,8-diol), the synthesized version of OLE. Products containing OLE and PMD include, but are not limited to, Repel and Off ! Botanicals. This recommendation refers to EPA-registered products containing the active ingredient OLE (or PMD). “Pure” oil of lemon eucalyptus (essential oil not formulated as a repellent) is not recommended; it has not undergone similar, validated testing for safety and efficacy and is not registered with EPA as an insect repellent. IR3535 (chemical name: 3-N-butyl-N-acetyl-aminopropionic acid, ethyl ester). Products containing IR3535 include, but are not limited to, Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus Expedition and SkinSmart. 2-undecanone (chemical name: methyl nonyl ketone). The product BioUD contains 2-undecanone. EPA characterizes the active ingredients DEET and picaridin as “conventional repellents” and OLE, PMD, IR3535, and 2-undecanone as “biopesticide repellents,” which are either derived from or are synthetic versions of natural materials." From: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/yellowbook/2018/the-pre-travel-consultation/protection-against-mosquitoes-ticks-other-arthropods **Q: Does this repel ticks** A: I'm about to buy some because Consumer Reports, which actually tests and rates products, says YES. It's one of the top-rated products for effectiveness against both mosquitoes and ticks.http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/insect-repellent/buying-guide(I LOVE CR because of info like this. Between Amazon reviews (lots of user input) and Consumer Reports (systematic unbiased testing) I feel well-informed when I buy things and very rarely disappointed in purchases. (No, CR isn't paying me, I'm just a longtime subscriber.) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This swamp dweller says: Throw away your DEET products and use this instead *by M***A on November 10, 2014* Update 11/10/2014: Executive summary or tl;dr: When applied correctly, this works as well as DEET on mosquitoes.

The only downside is that the smell is super strong, which can be a bit overwhelming. Overall, very effective and reliable, just not my favorite scent. ## Frequently Bought Together - Repel Plant-Based Lemon Eucalyptus Insect Repellent 4 Ounces, Repels Mosquitoes Up To 6 Hours, Oil,Spray - Sawyer Products SP564 Premium Insect Repellent with 20% Picaridin, Lotion, 4-Ounce - Cliganic 10 Pack Mosquito Repellent Bracelets, DEET-Free Bands, Individually Wrapped (Packaging May Vary) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/766774-repel-plant-based-lemon-eucalyptus-insect-repellent-4-ounces-repels](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/766774-repel-plant-based-lemon-eucalyptus-insect-repellent-4-ounces-repels) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-08-03*
