Botanical name Nepeta cataria / Organic/ Flowering tops/Canada
Catnip Essential Oil is widely used in bug repellent blends, as it can help deter mosquitos, bees, flies, fleas, and ticks.
There are currently only two farms in Canada producing high quality catnip oil with 80-90% nepatalactone. A very nice golden colored oil direct from the farm and best of all the oil has no pesticide residues! Researchers report that nepetalactone, the essential oil in catnip that gives the plant its characteristic odor, is about ten times more effective at repelling mosquitoes than DEET — the compound used in most commercial insect repellents.
