Salt Lake City Residents Advised on Natural Mosquito and Tick Repellent
US · Published May 19, 2026
Consumer Reports has recommended Repel Lemon Eucalyptus Insect Repellent as a top-performing, non-DEET alternative for protecting against mosquitoes and ticks.
The product scored 90% in Consumer Reports' lab tests, outperforming some DEET-based repellents.
It offers up to six hours of protection and is made from plant-based ingredients, including lemon and eucalyptus oils.

Why It's Important?

The use of Repel Lemon Eucalyptus Insect Repellent can help reduce the risk of mosquito- and tick-borne diseases, such as West Nile virus and Lyme disease, without the potential health and environmental concerns associated with DEET. However, individuals with sensitivities to strong scents should exercise caution, as some users reported irritation. The product's ability to protect surfaces from damage also makes it a practical choice for outdoor activities where contact with clothing and gear is common.
