Review on 🐜 Bug Botanist Flying Bug Remedy: Plant Powered Bug Spray- Family & Pet Friendly, Indoor & Outdoor Use - 16oz Bottle by Jim Jarvis

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Instructions for use Does not inspire consumer confidence

Pros: It is said to be safe for children and pets. I love that Bug Botanist uses essential oils instead of harsh chemicals. The dispenser itself looks high quality. It feels good in the hand and the nozzle rotates to block the trigger. The part I'm not sure about: Revain's description says it's "suitable for both indoor and outdoor use". But the instructions on the back (as far as I can tell) only give indoor instructions. The next line in these directions reads "PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE LABEL." The problem is that not only was the label not printed very clearly, mine was riddled with scratches. I can guess most of the unintelligible words, but for some I'm really not sure what's written. In the middle of the label is a warning that "this product may damage certain painted surfaces, wooden floors, furniture and plastics". . So please test it on an inconspicuous area first. To avoid staining, wipe away excess material with a damp cloth dipped in soapy water." I suspect they're just making sure to cover up, but that doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the mind of the consumer. I'm a little confused where this product is safe to use.

Pros
  • Aerosols
Cons
  • Large and bulky
