Description:

EMIT APOSTLE (BOTANICAL) INSECT REPELLENT

EMIT APOSTLE INSECT REPELLENT are made with sustainably harvested oil of lemon eucalyptus and a recommended natural plant-based repellent against mosquitoes, flies, and sandflies.

The active ingredient comes from the oil of the Eucalyptus citriodora tree (also known as lemon-scented gum). It is enhanced through a simple conversion process that accelerates nature’s maturation of the citriodora leaf.

Known to regulatory authorities as Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus and Eucalyptus citriodora oil, hydrated, cyclized (EC Oil (H/C)). The Eucalyptus citriodora oil is enriched into Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus (OLE) by converting the naturally occurring citronellal (not to be confused with the far less effective citronella) into p-methane-3,8-diol (PMD). Importantly, other naturally occurring constituents unaffected by the main conversion process work synergistically to provide greater repellency than those found with synthetically derived PMD.

Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus (OLE) is scientifically proven to be as effective as leading synthetic products, and far superior to alternative natural repellents.

The efficacy has been tested in a leading entomology laboratory and obtained a unique level of accreditation for long-lasting repellency (more than 6 hours) for a plant-based repellent.

Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus (OLE) has been cited as safe for children, and pregnant and breastfeeding women when used according to its label and instructions.

HOW DOES IT WORK

“Chase Away” Bat Repellent Spray is an animal behaviour modification tool and works in 2 ways;
(1) Surfactant (Foam solution) - bats do not like the smell of cleaning agents and will avoid it.
(2) Peppermint, Cinnamon oil - Natural essential oil irritates animals’ olfactory sensors. When bats contact with the sprayed area through their nose, eyes, or paws, it triggers a hot stinging reaction and causes the release of tears and mucus which bats learn not to come into contact with the sprayed area again.

​

DIRECTION FOR USE

Shake Well Before Use.
Application on Body

• Hold 15cm to 20cm from skin and spray in a slow sweeping motion.

• Spread evenly on exposed skin.

• Spray on clothing to prevent bites through clothing. Do not spray into the air.
   

Application on Face and Neck

• Spray on palm of hand.

• Spread evenly on palm.

• Pat around face and neck, avoiding eye and mouth areas. Do not spray or apply directly onto eyes and mouth.

Application on Children (Application should be done by an adult.)
** Children have thinner skin than adults. Their epidermis is thinner and under-keratinized, compared with adults.

• Spray on the palm of adult's hand.

• Spread evenly on the palm.

• Pat around an exposed part of the skin and check for skin irritation after 5 minutes. Continue to apply if no irritation occurs. Stop and wash off if irritation occurs.

• Use only enough repellent to cover exposed skin in a thin, even layer.

• Only apply insect repellents on the outside of your child's clothing and on exposed skin—not under clothing.
