An environmentally safe, topical pest repellent is described. The repellent action is attributable to a mixture of natural oils of citronella, cedar, and wintergreen. These natural oils, mixed in equal amounts, are combined in a non-toxic base, such as olive oil. The mixture is effective against diverse species, including mosquitoes and ticks.
