We can fight nature with nature, because we use the power of nature.™
Look around! Nature offers plenty of natural defenses from insects. Why not use these organic elements in a sensible and effective way?
We developed the Swamp Fighter™ Bug Repellent formula by combining powerful essential oils and plant extracts to create an all-natural insect repellent. Mosquitoes and other pests have complex methods of detecting hosts. Different types of insects react to different stimuli. Most mosquitoes are active at dawn and dusk but there are many insects that seek hosts during the day. You can avoid being bitten by making sure to use a natural repellent. The key is to mix essential natural oils that the insects find distasteful or confusing. The oils we use form a well-balanced potent mix that creates a safe and efficient natural bug repellent.
We chose to combine these powerful natural plant extracts and essential oils because we believe that this formulation will be very effective in repelling a wide variety of insects and bugs and different types of mosquitoes.
The Blend! Our Swamp Fighter™ Bug Repellent formula uses a unique and powerful combination of natural plant-based extracts and essential oils to offer you highly effective protection from flies, mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, and other flying biting insects!
When used independently, each of these oils and extracts can lose its potency quickly. By mixing these oils and plant extracts, we extend the duration of the repellent. More importantly, you have to build the right balance of scents to repel a wider range of insects.

Rosemary oil is extracted from the fragrant, woody Rosemary plant (Rosmarinus Officinalis also known as Rosmarinus Coronarium) of the Labiatae family that grows throughout much of the world.
Rosemary oil, when used in conjunction with other oils, will form an effective and safe insect repellent.
Rosemary is known for repelling mosquitoes, ticks and other pests, too.
Tea tree oil is extracted from the narrow leaved tea-tree (Melaleuca Alternifolia of the Myrtaceae family). Tea tree oil is a powerful insect repellent that works well when mixed and diluted with other essential oils.
Tea tree oil has been known to repel mosquitoes, ants, and many other insects that bite. It also soothes insect bites and stings and helps in the removal of ticks.
Orange oil is an essential oil produced by cells inside the rind of an orange fruit. In contrast to most essential oils, it is extracted as a byproduct of orange juice. The oil and the smell of the orange will keep the mosquitoes away. Orange oil is also known to repel gnats. These are the tiny flies that buzz around your head when you are trying to enjoy the great outdoors.
Eucalyptus oil is extracted from the eucalyptus tree. There are various types of eucalyptus trees but only a few are suitable for eucalyptus extraction. The oil is extracted from the fresh or partially dried leaves and from the young twigs.
Eucalyptus oil has been used throughout history as an insect repellent. It is a terrific repellent for ticks, black flies, mosquitoes and mites. Eucalyptus oils can also be used to keep fleas and ticks away from your pets.
For your pets: Using Eucalyptus in a pet shampoo will not only provide a great natural coat fragrance, but it will also function as an insect deterrent.
We have found that Shiny Paw®, a superb all-natural dog and cat shampoo, does an amazing job in keeping fleas and ticks away from your four legged friends. Place some Shiny Paw® shampoo on a cloth underneath the cushions of your pet's bed for extra protection against fleas and mosquitoes, and it will hide odors as well.
True citronella oil is derived from a tall grass called the Citronella, which is native to Java and Sri Lanka. Citronella oil is extracted from the fresh or dried citronella grass through the steam distillation method.
Citronella oil's bug repellency has also been verified by many studies. It is very efficient against mosquitoes, black flies and biting flies
Our pine oil is extracted from Pine (Scotch pine) twigs and buds of the Pinaceae family and is also known as Scots and forest pine.
This naturally-occurring compound prepared from pine oil deters mosquito and sand flies from biting and repels ticks and other arthropods.
Scientists have discovered that the naturally occurring compound from pine oil deters the biting of mosquitoes more effectively than the widely used synthetic chemical repellent DEET. This compound also repelled two kinds of ticks as effectively as DEET.
