Bugz OFF! is an ALL NATURAL, ORGANIC, DEET-FREE product
formulated using a power blend of pure botanicals in a base of organic aloe vera juice and natural witch hazel. Our sprays and lotions have been all over the world - literally - and proven to be effective against mosquitoes, flies, fleas, chiggers, spiders and other insects.
NEW & IMPROVED FORMULA
Our spray and lotion now have a pleasant lemon fragrance due to the natural essential oil blend. The aloe vera and witch hazel base also adds soothing properties for any inflamed, irritated or sunburned skin. There are no synthetic fragrances in this product. The essential oils used in this product have decades of history showing additional beneficial properties, as well as being uplifting with their pleasant lemon fragrance. We've also added a few new oils that WebMD has highly recommended as being more effective (and safer) than DEET.
PROVEN EFFECTIVE BY FIELD-TESTING
This is the ONE that really truly works on all those annoying critters. During field-testing, Bugz OFF! even kept the chiggers off when nothing else would! No DEET formula using only natural ingredients and a proprietary blend of pure essential oils all well known and proven for their ability to deter bugs. Proven to work against mosquitoes - even in Minnesota - as well as flies & fleas.
NOT JUST FOR YOUR SKIN!
Bugz OFF! can be used throughout the house in corners and around the baseboards to discourage any critters or pests that might be tempted to inhabit your home - it works! Also very good for keeping those flies & fleas away from your dog. Our dog, Abby, has always had red and bleeding ears every summer from the flies. We used all sorts of different treatments and none worked for very long. Abby's ears I'm proud to say are not even touched by flies or fleas and she stays outdoors a large part of the summer. We have a special pet formulation that deters insects away from dogs, horses, show cattle, sheep and pigs!
We don't recommend use on cats because essential oils cannot be metabolized by cats.
WE CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT
Wingsets, as a company, and each of us individually are very concerned and vigilant about our impact on our environment. In our 8 years of business, we’ve not had to reorder shipping peanuts because we save and recycle all those we receive in the shipments we receive. You may receive a box that looks a little battered, but it’s still usable and we recycle those as well. You will notice that we use PET (recycle #1) bottles for our products. We struggled over whether to use glass, but the additional shipping charges plus the additional risk of damage in shipment makes this not the better choice. We’ve, as usual, done our research on this and have recently been sampling newer products as they are developed. We’ve recently looked at antimicrobial bottles and labels for instance. We’re not sure yet if we want to change to that, but we continue to be proactive about our choices.
PRECAUTIONS & USAGE
As always when trying something new please test your sensitivity by putting a small drop on the inside of your arm. Essential oils are powerful miracles of nature and although very beneficial can cause reactions in some people.
Once a small amount has been used and no reaction is present, you may spray your skin ensuring you get full coverage. If using lotion be sure to rub on exposed areas of your skin. You may also want to wash your palms after applying the lotion.
Do not get in eyes. Do not apply on face or hands of small children. Do not spray directly on or near face. Instead, spray in palm of hand and spread on face and neck. Do not use on children less than 3 years of age. DO NOT USE ON CATS PLEASE!

Please note the following concerning EPA registration numbers as our product contains exempt ingredients: Registered or Exempt Pesticides: Under FIFRA, any product making a pesticidal claim must be registered with EPA, in order to review products for reasons of human health and environmental safety. An exception to this rule exists for products based on certain active ingredients (the “25b list,” named for that section of FIFRA), which are considered minimum risk products. These products will not have an EPA registration number, and usually have a statement to the effect that “the manufacturer represents that this product qualifies for exemption from FIFRA.” For exempt pesticides, all inert ingredients must be on EPA List 4A, and must be disclosed on the label. Many exempt products, but not all, meet the requirements of the USDA National Organic Program.
