Q: Is it safe for animals?

submitted by Rae - 3 months ago
  • A: Strong concentrations of lemon eucalyptus oil can be harmful to dogs, and eucalyptus is extremely toxic for cats in every form especially when aspirated.

  • A: We recommend using our Lemon Eucalyptus Oil Spray as protection that is only applied to your skin, gear, or clothing. We have not tested this product for safety or efficacy in regards to applying to a dog or any other animal.

Q: Is this safe for children to use? What ages?

submitted by Jaz - 1 year ago
  • A: Misleading answer from Murphy’s Natural Team. Their label may not show an age restriction, but lemon eucalyptus and para-methane-diol are not recommended for children under the age of 3 per the American Academy of Pediatrics.

    submitted byFriendlyPharmacists - 1 year ago
  • A: This product does not have an age restriction. Please read and follow all instructions on the label. Take careful note that we recommend an adult apply the product.

We offer long-lasting protection: our spray is proven to repel mosquitoes for up to six hours, deer ticks for up to four hours, and lone star and brown dog ticks for more than eight hours.

Avoid Mosquitos and Ticks Naturally with Murphy's

5 out of 5 stars

Mom Life Best Life - 10 days ago, Verified purchaser
Living in an area where mosquitos and ticks are a constant concern, I was looking for a natural solution that actually works—and Murphy’s Lemon Eucalyptus Bug Spray delivers. The scent is fresh and citrusy without being overpowering, and it doesn’t have that harsh chemical smell common in other repellents. I’ve used it on myself and my kids during hikes, camping trips, and evenings in the backyard, and it has kept us bite-free every time. I also appreciate that it’s DEET-free and safe for our skin. The spray applies evenly, dries quickly, and doesn’t leave a sticky residue. A must-have for outdoor activities! We took this on our camping trip for Girl Scouts and it was a big hit! The natural scent is amazing! Pros: Effective against mosquitos and ticks Pleasant, natural scent Non-greasy and quick-drying DEET-free and safe for kids Cons: Would love a travel-size version for my purse

I smell to me wasn’t bad at all. But do spray in open air. Don’t breathe it in. I’m going to assume it works. But when I don’t use it I get attacked. Reason for only 3 stars the spray apparatus. It leaks all over your hand. Then you can’t tilt it at all to get all areas of your body. Wash hands right away because if you touch your face it feels numbing and the taste is horrible.

I used this under long sleeves and pants with another (chemical) bug spray on the clothes themselves, but none of it stopped the mosquitoes in northern Wisconsin from biting through my sleeves on a 10 mile trail run. I also got two tick bites
1 reply from Murphy's Team team - 28 days ago
Thank you so much for letting us know about your experience. We are sorry to hear you received 2 tick bites. One suggestion we have for product usage is if you are doing a physically active activity over the duration of a couple hours to reapply sooner than you would in a stationary situation. Sweating can cause the spray to loose contact with your skin and allow for some pesky bites. The best thing to do is reapply every hour or so just to be safe rather than sorry during those high activity times. We also recommend spraying it on top of clothing as well. If you would like us to send you a 2oz spray to take with you on the trail please just reach out to info@murphysnaturals.com and we will get you taken care of! Keep Enjoying Life Outdoors!

Best natural insect repellent I’ve found. Works against gnats and chiggers, too. My husband doesn’t use it. He’s had half a dozen ticks the last two seasons. We hike together. I’ve had none. Smells great too.

Amazing! I discovered this product in a sub-tropical environment with really nasty, tiny, mosquitos, and the most obnoxious no-see-ums. Murphy’s worked for me in stopping the bug attacks cold, and actually soothed my existing irritated bites.

The smell can be a little strong/unpleasant, but this seemed to keep the mosquitoes away from me. I had been outside without the stuff a day before without anything on and got 4 bites in less than 10 minutes. I put this on the next time I went out and had no bites.
