Repellent Reviews

“To quote The Monkees, I’m a believer.  I’ve used the five barn farm spray in the deep woods.  I’ve used it when working in the garden.  I’ve used it on the beach.  And most importantly I’ve used it on the boat.  All with much success.  Greenhead fly season has just begun on the Cape so I put it to the test when I was out sailing this week.  They were dive bombing the boat and maybe 2 landed but didn’t stick around.  Hurray!  So I wanted to let you know I’ll be ordering several bottles — one for the car, one by the door to the gardens, one for the boat— so I’ll always have a bottle close at hand.  Also I’ve just arrived in Charleston. Much to my surprise I have discovered it's bug city down here so I’ll be ordering several bottles for here too.”

"FIVE BARN FARM WAS PERFECT FOR MY FAMILY THIS SUMMER. WE USED IT ON THE GOLF COURSE, AT THE POOL, AND IN LOCAL PARKS. IT SMELLS GREAT, AND KEPT THE TICKS AND INSECTS FAR AWAY!"

KRISTIN s. (MOM IN PHILADELPHIA, PA)

"I use it all the time, especially when I travel and go on vacation. It keeps the insects and ticks away from me which is such a relief."

Magda, Brooklyn, NY

"This stuff works."

"It is the only insect repellent I am able to use. I like the smell of it and it has no nasty chemicals. And it works."

Patricia Fox, Yoga teacher, Bass Harbor, Maine.

"I've been using the stuff with great success, plus I like the smell. Ticks and Insects will hate you for it, but cats will adore you."

Charles Rasmussen, Mount Desert (tick) Island, Maine.

"This stuff really works. Gnats, mosquitoes, biting flies AND apparently ticks really don't like it. Dabbing a little bit on the pulse points makes it like walking around in a virtual screened-porch even when the bugs are fierce. And it's made out of the essential oil of catnip mixed with olive oil. Two ingredients total. Has a lovely minty smell."

Anne Flournoy, Easton, NY

"My wife and I have found Five Barn Farm Repellent to be highly effective against not only mosquitoes but also against irritating gnats. We use it liberally without fear of toxins or allergic reaction and find its aroma pleasantly reminiscent of herbal tea. We give it as gifts to visitors at our Northern Michigan home and recommend it to anyone who prefers a natural form of protection against insects."

RJC, Northern Michigan Tree Farmer

"My sister in-Law had it when we Went camping and offered it to me as an alternative to Cutters Spray. I used it and did not get bit at all by mosquitoes! I was amazed that it really worked. I absolutely love it!!"

Diane Medick, Clifton, Park, NY

"I have reordered the insect repellant (three vials). We used up two vials, and they were the best repellant we have ever used. In the past, we tried ultrasonic wrist bands, lemon-scented spray, etc., and none of them worked as well as the catnip oil. My wife as well as I like the catnip. the appliCator is also good and makes each vial last longer. The vial is small, and people might think it is expensive, but it turned out to be cost-effective. i typically spend 10 hours each day on weekends outside in the garden."

Iwao Teraoka, Rye, New York

"An application of Five Barn Farm catnip oil (insect and tick repellent) around my horse's eyes keeps the flies away and is safe to use. It really works, lasts for a long time and keeps him happy and fly free on trail rides. I take the roller out of the top of the bottle and apply the oil with my fingertip. He seems to enjoy the process!"

Kitty Highstein, Salem, New York

This tick and insect repellent is incredibly effective and simple to use, along with being made with all-natural ingredients. This is the only natural repellent I have found that truly works! I even use it on the dogs. This summer I used it before hiking, doing yard work or sitting outside at dusk. I also found it effective for gnats, flies and mosquitoes.

I have been using this product to keep the mosquitoes and flies away when I do my gardening. Works Great! and it does not lose its effectiveness over months and even years. Thanks!

Susan, Cranford, NJ

Thanks Mark…I re-watched your video and it reminded me that I do also rub it on my skin…and around where my clothes meet skin!  We live in a forested area in the Pocono’s and lots of ticks!    so far…no ticks have landed on us thanks to your wonderful product!  I’m going to promote to my friends up here!
