Nontoxic insect repellent - people say it works

Here's what people are saying about Crocodile!

Crocodile.

We had lunch outdoors in Pt. Reyes station . . . great for us, perfect for flies and yellowjackets.

I went back to the car, got the Croc, opened the jar and put it on the table, with rubbing just a little around the edge of the table near us. Put a little in the lid and and set that out also.

The flies and yellowjackets would buzz by every now and then and leave us just as quickly to go settle on the other tables and continuously buzz the other diners.

I love Crocodile!

Anyway, indoors or out Croc hits the spot.

Just wanted to let you know I purchased your product on a whim. I was desperate to find a product that was kid-friendly and worked for my 18-month old son, who, of course, swells up in huge welts from either mosquitoes or black flies. I bought your product half-expecting it not to work. I applied it to him at a my nephew's ball game (where the bugs are awful) and low and behold the only bite he got was on his foot between his sandal strap!

Thank you so much for taking the time to develop a product that is all natural and safe for children to wear. I am amazed and thankful for how well it works and will be a life-long crocodile user.

Sincerely,

"This past August, 2001, I took a trip to Peru, South America, and brought along a couple of Croc Bites. I am glad that I did! While touring through the Amazon Jungle, the bugs were intense. We were advised to wear long sleeved shirts and long pants to counter the many types of insects that were quite active. Due to the extreme heat, I found the protective clothing to be a struggle while hiking. Instead, I decided to try the Crocodile product to ward off the insects. It worked! Others in my group left the jungle with huge welts covering their bodies. I was barely affected! The Crocodile product does not have the heavy smell of most bug repellents and thus made it encouraging to apply and reapply. The container was small and light to carry which also made reapplication easy while hiking.

Crocodile is a great product. The tour guides from the Amazon camp became curious about the product and asked if I would leave the remainder with them. They weren't used to seeing visitors to the jungle virtually unaffected by the insects! Crocodile worked!"

"Last fall, while hiking in the Lincoln/Woodstock area, my son and I did our usual pilgrimage to Lahouts. A sales clerk recommended your product. We scoffed at the name, but purchased it on a lark. Now, I am glad we did.

This summer I've been hiking in the Catskills, NY. Blackflies and no-see-ums abound there. Your salve works miracles. Never before have those nasty pests kept such a distance from my face. It's great. They hover about a foot away, and never even dive bomb. What a treat; what a relief!

Thank you so much for the work you have done developing this product. The odor is most welcome when applying it, and it washes off so easily; not to mention that it's not toxic like deet. This bug deterent of yours is the best. I am so convinced as to the effectiveness of your product that this letter precedes an order for two more 1.5 oz jars (I need to get through the summer and fall with the remainder of the flies and mosquitoes).

Thanks again for developing this insect repellent. I'll be a lifelong customer." - D. C., Rocky Hill, CT

Just wanted to report back to you on our use of your product on our son. He is 9 months old, with sensitive/dry skin and he experienced no reaction whatsoever. As a matter of fact, I was truly amazed at how well it worked. I'm sure you can understand my skepticism, as with any new product. We went up to Somerset Reservoir, which was absolutely loaded with black flies. We had our son bundled up with only his face exposed. Before we set out, I applied some of your product to his cheeks, forehead, nose & chin. I watched him very closely as the bugs were flying all around his face, but not biting him! We were out for nearly 2 hours and he was bit once, between the eyes, probably where I hadn't applied any bug discouragent. I reapplied at that point, including the spot I had missed, and he wasn't bothered again.

I will recommend your product to others. It's nice to have a product on the market that isn't harmful to children. Thanks so much for making it!

"What a pleasure to see a new product on the market that beats back mosquitos without all of those chemicals. Crocodile! bug discouragent (I'd say repellent) does a great job keeping mosquitos and black flies at bay. A few minutes after rubbing Crocodile on my skin, the mosquitos seem to just wander off in search of something else to bite. I even like the smell of Crocodile! better than those big name brands. I also appreciate a company that not only sells an effective product, but has gone the extra step to make it from organic ingredients. Thanks Dancing Roots. Keep up the good work." - D. M., Guilford, VT

"I'm an avid hiker. After being cooped-up all winter, there's nothing I enjoy more than to hit the trail in the spring. However, being in the woods during bug season can be more of a hassle than it's worth---unless you bring insect repellant. In the past I've used deet, but after ruining the plastic lenses on my glasses, I decided it's not for me. Last year I tried Crocodile! and found it does a better job of keeping the little pests away than deet. I like the fact that it's all natural---and it even smells decent." - JJ, Keene, NH

"I just wanted to let you know I'll be needing more bug repellent and candles for the upcoming season. We will be going to the deep woods of Maine soon and I don't want to go without your great product. Last summer we used the candles while sitting out on the deck and I can't tell you how effective they were!! We weren't pestered by any bugs. The bug repellent was great while we were busy on the boat and hiking. Thanks for a great product!!"- Marguerite A. MacLean

"Living in rural New Hampshire year round has its share of ups & downs, though less downs than before, thanks to Crocodile.

After feeling like a smorgasbord for every irritating flying creature, (black flies and mosquitos; especially) it was with great relief to be able to try Crocodile. The results were instant. Insects were repelled rapidly and stayed away, all without the use of any toxic, semi toxic, or artificial ingredients.

There are words that describe Crocodile that have been used before for many other products. Like, splendid,--remarkable,--the best-- but besides these, a word stands out to me like no other, a word that tells it like it is about Crocodile. To say one good thing about the best bug repellent creme on the market today-- I proclaim Crocodile---the most repulsive product I've ever used. It Works!" - Thanks, W.D

"I just love the natural odor. It's so easy to put on and it works great!" -TAS, Keene, NH

"I keep Crocodile with my flyfishing equipment and use it whenever blackflies and mosquitoes await me on the Ashuelot River." - FSD, Keene, NH

There's nothing else like it!

Crocodile! is unique because it's an all-natural, organically grown, herbal-based insect repellent. It does not contain any DEET, a controversial bug repellent used by most major brands. It is non-aerosol, non-greasy, and has a pleasant odor. Crocodile is even backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
