Can I spray my clothes, hat, lawn chair, etc. with this?
Yes you can. A light, misting spray from enough of a distance is great but a direct, concentrated spray, too close to the fabric may cause staining.
Does this work for gnats, ticks, and no see ums?
This product is formulated to be generally repellent to a wide variety of biting insects but is only tested on mosquitoes so our efficacy claims are limited to those.
It this an aerosol or pump bug spray?
This is a manual spray pump and applies as a fine mist. As we do not use emulsifiers, the product naturally separates into water on the bottom and essential oils on top at rest. Shake well before applying.
Does it contain DEET or any other chemical insect repellants?
No. Badger Bug Spray does not contain: DEET, boric acid, skin so soft, permethrin, wondercide, neem, or picaridin.
Do all-natural bug sprays really work?
Yes. All Badger bug repellents have been independently tested and approved to be effective for at least 3 hours. All bug repellents must pass this test before they can be sold in the USA. Testing by ICR, Inc. in March, 2010.

How Did We Get Our Start?
Back in the mid-1990s, our founder Bill Whyte worked as a carpenter. He worked hard, and so did his hands. They would often split and crack in the frigid New England winters. One night, seeking a soothing solution, he mixed up some beeswax and olive oil to create a simple herbal balm. It helped his hands so much, he decided to share it with everyone he knew - and the rest, as they say, is Badger history.

Why does it have a pump top spray?
We don't use any aerosols or chemical propellants, keeping our bug spray as safe and natural as possible.
Why is it called 'Shake & Spray'?
We don't use any chemical emulsifiers so you have to give it a little shake to mix the water and oils before you spray it.
