Insect Repellent - F.A.Q.?

Are they safe?
Yes. It is safe and pesticide free, making sure that no unwanted chemicals touch your skin. Using only EPA exempt ingredients allows us to give the safest experience to your insect repelling needs.

Comparison to DEET products?
DEET is a contact repellent which repels only when the insect has landed on the wearer increasing the risk of the wearer being bitten by the insect. Geraniol, an essential oil used in Fasst, has a relatively high vapor pressure and gives off a dilute vapor into the air stream which acts as an area repellent. This helps repel insects before they land. The tendency of Geraniol to evaporate makes it work as the active ingredient in wristbands, plastic beads, and other Fasst repellent products. It also helps to improve the efficacy of liquid spray Geraniol Fasst repellents.

Why should I use Fasst Repellents?
Because of its effectiveness.According to laboratory and field studies by the University of Florida in Gainesville, Geraniol is not only more effective than 6.75-percent DEET, musk oil and 10-percent citronella, it repels a much broader range of insects. Geraniol, the active ingredient in Fasst insect repellent, has been proven effective in repelling a wide variety of insects, including mosquitoes, house flies, stable flies, horn flies, cockroaches, fire ants, fleas, gnats, dog ticks, lone star ticks, and no-see-ums.

What is Geraniol?
Geraniol is an ingredient that is extracted from geranium oil through a highly unique refining process. It stems from Geraniums flowers, that have been used in ancient years as the only real way for insect control. Through this refining process and addition of different ingredients, it produces the most effective and natural insect repelling product on the market.

Can I use it on my pets?
It can be used on all pets, dogs, birds reptiles etc. It is safe for them as its safe for you. That makes it reassuring that your pet and pal can be protected like you, allowing it the freedom to run and play without the bugs biting away.
