The Coleman Botanical spray features 30% Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus in a robust 4 oz HDPE bottle. This material is chosen for its impact resistance and its ability to store essential oils without the plastic becoming brittle. The formula is specifically designed to provide a layer of protection against both mosquitoes and ticks without damaging synthetic gear like tents or technical leggings.
Specifications show the pump is rated for approximately 400 actuations. Because the botanical formula is thicker than chemical alternatives, the pump may require more effort to reset in colder temperatures (below 50°F). It is most effective when used in warmer conditions where the oil can be easily atomized into a fine mist.
The scent profile is dominated by a strong citronella-like aroma, which is helpful for outdoor use but can be overpowering in enclosed spaces like vehicles or small tents. To maintain the integrity of the seals, ensure the cap is tightened securely after use, as the natural rubber gaskets can compress over long periods if not properly cared for.
For an alternative that targets indoor storage pests, you may find the Colton’s Naturals Cedar Spray to be a useful tool for organizing your home's closets.
