The unique formula is produced and distributed by Mexitan Products, who also produce and distribute a popular brand of all natural sun care products, in response to their desire to stop mosquitoes without spraying chemicals on playgrounds and family backyards.
Instead of spraying huge areas of land and backyards with chemical substances, now there is a natural formula that can be applied to the skin. It’s a choice between combating nature with chemical sprays vs. protecting the body with natural ingredients. “This way the environment, people and pets aren’t being subjected to these chemical substances.”
The CDC states the following on their Web site: "The AAP (The American Academy of Pediatrics) and other experts suggest using repellent with low concentrations of DEET on infants over two months old. Other guidelines suggest using repellents containing DEET only after children are two years of age." This recommendation has left parents of young children looking for an effective alternative.

Though based on the use of natural oils, the formula is non greasy and does not stain clothes.
In perhaps the most startling development, in an independent lab test of Skedattle vs. a product containing 100% Deet, Skedattle proved more effective. According to the lab results, unprotected subjects received an average of 16 bites per hour. Subjects using products containing Deet received an average of 2.78 bites per hour, while the Skedattle test subjects received less than one bite per hour, (approximately 1/5 of one bite per hour). The test, conducted by BassFan Lab, (operated by BassFan LLC) involved three successive test periods over 72 hours.
Word of the product has spread fast, due in part to parental concerns about the use of chemical sprays on their children. There’
