Yachticon Spider Repellent is the latest, further developed solution for spider-free zones - both indoors and outdoors. As the successor to the tried and tested Yachticon Anti Spider Spray (which is of course still available), this product is now free of dispensing restrictions and impresses with its innovative plant-based formula.

Active ingredient complex of geraniol and pyrethrum extract: The main ingredient geraniol is a natural monoterpene alcohol (C₁₀H₁₈O), which is obtained from essential oils such as palmarosa, citronella, geranium and lemongrass. Geraniol is known as a fragrance in cosmetics and perfumery and has a biocidal effect as a repellent against numerous insect species. The repellent effect is based on the intense but pleasant odour, which deters insects and arachnids without killing them directly. Studies show a very high repellency, for example 97 % effectiveness against mosquitoes indoors and 75 % outdoors.

Geraniol is supplemented by a high-quality extract from the flowers of Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium, known as pyrethrum. This natural insecticide contains six active components (pyrethrins I & II, cinerins I & II, jasmolines I & II) and is biodegradable. While pyrethrum has a repellent effect at low doses, it can act as a contact insecticide at higher concentrations. Contact with treated surfaces encourages insects to avoid them and increase their movement. The effect is based on the blocking of voltage-dependent sodium channels in the nerve cells of the target organisms, which can lead to permanent depolarisation and ultimately to death - in this product, however, the focus is deliberately on the repellent effect.

Versatile and safe to use: Yachticon Spider Repellent has been developed for a wide range of applications. It is suitable for boats, motorhomes, caravans, tents, house facades, terraces, cellars, garages, garden furniture and living rooms. The product can be used on many surfaces such as plastic, metal, textiles, wood or stone materials. The formula is gentle on materials and leaves no stains or permanent residues. The characteristic odour quickly evaporates for humans, but continues to act as a deterrent for arachnids and insects.

Biodegradable and environmentally friendly: Both main active ingredients - geraniol and pyrethrum - are proven to be biodegradable and leave no long-lasting residues in the environment. This makes the product ideal for use in sensitive areas and for environmentally conscious users. The active ingredients decompose quickly in nature through exposure to light.

Technical background information: In addition to its repellent effect, geraniol also has antimicrobial properties and is used in industry as a natural additive. Pyrethrum, extracted from the open, ripe flowers of the chrysanthemum, contains a unique combination of pyrethrins that are recognised worldwide as natural insect repellents. Together, these active ingredients offer a broad spectrum of efficacy against spiders, ticks, mosquitoes, ants, fleas and other crawling or flying insects. Even if there are no explicit studies on the effectiveness against "real" spiders, application practice shows clear protection and a significant reduction in spider colonisation in treated areas.

Conclusion: Yachticon Spider Repellent is the ideal solution for anyone looking for an effective, natural and sustainable alternative to conventional biocidal products. It is easy to use, the effect is long-lasting, the environment is protected - and the product is freely available without restrictions.
