TICK SAFETY INSIDER
Why People Are Spraying This on Themselves Before They Step Outside
I tried everything to keep ticks off me — the yard company, the green-bottle spray from the drugstore, even a homemade recipe off a blog. I was still pulling ticks off my legs every other day.
Then someone told me I'd been spraying the wrong stuff on me and my family. Here's why nothing else comes close.
1. Ticks Actually Hate It
Put a tick anywhere near a surface treated with PineGuard and it does one thing: turns around and gets away from it.
The plant oils — citrus, peppermint, lemon, and garlic — hit the receptors a tick uses to find you. To a tick, treated skin and clothing simply don't read as a host. They climb on looking for a meal and find a "keep out" sign instead.
2. Most "Natural" Sprays Were Never Required to Work
Two kinds of bug spray sit side by side on the shelf. One is EPA-registered — the company had to prove it repels ticks before they could say so. The other is "25(b) exempt," a loophole where no one makes them prove anything.
The popular natural brands fall in the loophole. "Natural" on the label doesn't mean it works. It means no one made them prove it.
3. Plant-Based AND EPA-Registered
Four plant ingredients: citrus oil, peppermint oil, lemon extract, and garlic. No DEET. No picaridin. No permethrin.
And it's EPA-registered for ticks — the same standard DEET has to meet. It's the rare spray that's both natural and actually proven.
4. Safe on Your Skin AND Your Clothes
DEET and synthetics melt shoes, gear, even watch straps — so you can't put them where ticks actually climb on.
PineGuard is safe on fabric. You spray it right on the boarding zone — shoes, socks, pant cuffs — and on your skin too. That's the whole point.
5. Lasts All Day on One Spray
The homemade recipes and candle-scented naturals wore off in about an hour. You'd reapply and still get bit.
PineGuard lasts about 8 hours. Spray once in the morning and go — one application covers a hike, a yard day, or a full round of golf.

The most common thing they tell us? "I sat barefoot on my own deck for the first time all summer."
7. No Ticks, Or You Don't Pay
Spray it the way the bottle says — shoes, socks, ankles, cuffs. If you still find a tick on yourself in your first month, email them for a full refund.
They pay return shipping. You keep the free field guide. You're out nothing.
8. Costs Less Than One Round of Lyme Treatment
A course of Lyme treatment can run into the thousands — plus months of fatigue and joint pain people say they never fully shake.
A bottle of PineGuard is $27.99. One is something you recover from. The other is something you prevent.
9. Smells Like Citrus, Not a Chemical Plant
DEET smells like DEET. The naturals that wore off in an hour also smelled like a scented candle.
PineGuard is light citrus and peppermint — fresh, gone in a few minutes, and it doesn't stain your clothes.
10. Only at trypineguard.com — and Stock Runs Low
Not at Walmart. Not on Amazon. The real PineGuard is only at trypineguard.com. If you've seen a lookalike, it isn't the same EPA-registered formula.
Last year they sold out before peak tick season. If you can still see this page, it's in stock now — it won't stay that way long.
