is this deet free? I have a 9 year old and want to make sure they are safe for her use.

Definitely. They don't work so well, depending on the types of mosquitoes in your area. If there is something else to sting, the mosquito will leave you alone. Otherwise, they'll still get you. It's probably a combo of citronella and some other essential oils.

These are made with plant oils such as Citronella and Lemongrass and also Zinc Iron Oxides. A precautionary statement on the package which reads: Not intended for children under 3. In rare case of irritation , discontinue use and wash with soap and water. Our grandchildren ages 7 to 20 use them with no problem. They work great against biting bugs like mosquito and gnats. Hope this helps.

Absolutely DEET free. We have used them on many children with great degree of success.

Biocide lab has a customer service number you can call. I can tell you that our public schools in my community use the product. Never heard of any parents complaining.

Hi Penny, From what I know this stuff is pretty safe. But that this doesn't mean you can handle it carelessly. Use common sense regardless. Wear gloves when spread the inks. Have handy paper towels nearby. As for kids, I wouldn't let kids use this without adult supervision. That's the best advice I can give you.

Yes, I wouldn't use anything that I wouldn't use on my niece's skin though. We use Shea moisture organic soap with frankincense and myrrh. It's healthier than anything like "baby wash" by Johnson and Johnson, and the smell is soothing and calming to the little ones that I've used it on. My niece usually falls asleep in the bath with me, any help you can get when they're fussy right? I also swear by hylands teething tabs, and gentle naturals drops. Hope that was helpful :) Kindest regards.

In response to your question, as this shampoo is sulfate free, I would imagine it is safer than a Johnson&Johnson; product specifically made for babies and children. For a proper answer, I would think the manufacturer needs to answer that question definitively or more research on your part so you can make an educated decision. Fortunately I haven't gotten any in my eyes, so I can't answer that part of the question definitively either, sorry. I do know that Young Living makes a line of kid-oriented products, named KidScents and they offer shampoo, body lotion and bubble bath, in addition to a TenderTush for diaper issues. You may want to look into that. In response to your question, as this shampoo is sulfate free, I would imagine it is safer than a Johnson&Johnson; product specifically made for babies and children.

The ingredients in the Bed Bug Killer is peppermint oil,sodium lauryl sulfate,citric acid,glycerin,oleric acid and water. I'm no chemical expert or a rocket scientist, only thing I can tell you that it worked for me.It had to work because I was watching my granddaughter who at the time was 3 months old and all day long because my daughter went back to work. All honesty I say she got bitten twice while in sleeping in my bed, which is the reason why I was determined to get rid of the bed bugs. She is now two years old and I've been bug free for over nine months if not more. This is what I did.I wash all my bedding in hot soapy water.While the bedding was off I flipped the mattress,sprayed it with the bug killer.I also vacuumed under and around the bed framed.I washed the bed frame with a Borax salution(1/2 cup of Borax to 1 gallon of water). I also use this salution to wash down any wood area in my bedroom.I did this once.but I sprayed everything at least three times a week for a couple of weeks.Sure it was a little work,but it was still cheaper than exterminator.I keep a bottle on hand just for kicks and giggles now. I would highly reccomend this product. Also if it helps,I am very health conscious and think this product is very safe.

Question was asked over a year and a half ago, so I'm sure an answer is no longer needed. Just for info though, 3M Ultrathon contains DEET and it's a strong chemical and I would be wary using it on young children and definitely wouldn't use it on kids a few years or less old. The instructions say don't apply to children's hands and when applying to children use your own hands to apply on them. Obviously, you want to keep your children from ingesting this insecticide. If it was my kids I would definitely try a natural, non-chemical product like lemon eucalyptus oil, cinnamon oil, rosemary oil, lemongrass oil, or peppermint oil. You will have to apply it more often, but I would feel much better using them on my kids. There are also a number of natural insect repellents made especially for kids on the market.

It's reportedly a safer alternative to Deet.I've never tried Deet products but this works excellently!

you shouldn't spray anything over 50% DEET on your skin, it can be bad. you spray this on your clothes, then use a 30% deet on your skin. Travel nurse suggested this brand to me for overseas travel, and said to spray this all over my clothes before going out.

I've worn them several days in a row, and they seem to still last. If you're worried about serious diseases from mosquitos, I would still use some Deet, but these are fine for most outings in the US. Another tip, I've also worn them on my ankles to keep bugs away from my legs.

Yes, they are DEET free, all natural. They use essential oils of Andiroba, Citronella, Rosemary & Thyme. The work great and smell good!

Hmmmm good question no idea. The box is labeled with the ASTM D 4236 how this does not men it is not non toxic rather that it conforms to the art usage codes set forth by the American Standard institute being acceptable for use as an art product. So you my want to research it yourself . I would say it was probably ok to use with 6yo children and older but would not use it where young children would ingest the ink.

I'm not 100% sure but she used it while my three kids were in house...there wasn't a bad odor from it. And noticed immidate change once applied. If not spray and go for a walk and by the time kids come back it should be fine.

Says child friendly on the bottle, so I would think so. If you're still worried use cetaphil cream #1 dermatologist recommended brand for sensetive skin and gentle enough to use on babies.

I still have the card from the manufacturer that came w it. It does not say what it contains. The only warning is says is: choking hazard: product should be used only w adult or therapist supervision. Discard at first sign of wear or damage. Not recommended for children. Under age 4. Earlier it does Dayton gently clean w soap and earn water prior to use and to prevent bacteria build up over time. It is specifically for biting and putting in the mouth, so I believe it would be free of those things. You can probably google the manufacturer (chew stixx) and look further if you are still concerned. I am always worried about the germs and bacteria w this, so I wash it often by hand and I have even put it in the dishwasher in a little basket.
