what are the other ingredients that make up 70% of this product?

According to the Repel website for this product, the 305-62 yellow link reveals the safety data sheet. This lists ingredients including 30 percent by weight as citriodiol (the lemon eucalyptus component) and 45 percent ethanol. The other 25 percent ingredients are either "proprietary or non-hazardous." So it could be 25 percent water, or 25 percent some unique and proprietary chemical we have no clue about. The safety data sheet does note that it does not contain ingredients known to the state of California to cause birth defects.

What are the reasons this product cannot be used on pets?

Like many natural plant oils, lemon eucalyptus is an irritant. Always look for the Materials Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for any product before you buy. In this case, find it by googling "repel 94109 msds" and you'll get the sheet (MSDS-305-62-July10.pdf). Basically, this will cause injury to the eyes or if swallowed.

Can you use this repellent in Africa where you have mosquitos carrying malaria?? Susan

For Africa where malaria, Zika, etc., are present, the CDC's website says you can use DEET **OR** several other products including those with lemon eucalyptus oil if you follow directions properly. Specifically, "Products containing the following active ingredients typically provide reasonably long-lasting protection: DEET (chemical name: N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide or N,N-diethyl-3-methyl-benzamide). Products containing DEET include, but are not limited to, Off!, Cutter, Sawyer, and Ultrathon. Picaridin (KBR 3023 Bayrepel and icaridin outside the US; chemical name: 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperidinecarboxylic acid 1-methylpropyl ester). Products containing picaridin include, but are not limited to, Cutter Advanced, Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus, and Autan (outside the US). Oil of lemon eucalyptus (OLE) or PMD (chemical name: para-menthane-3,8-diol), the synthesized version of OLE. Products containing OLE and PMD include, but are not limited to, Repel and Off ! Botanicals. This recommendation refers to EPA-registered products containing the active ingredient OLE (or PMD). “Pure” oil of lemon eucalyptus (essential oil not formulated as a repellent) is not recommended; it has not undergone similar, validated testing for safety and efficacy and is not registered with EPA as an insect repellent. IR3535 (chemical name: 3-N-butyl-N-acetyl-aminopropionic acid, ethyl ester). Products containing IR3535 include, but are not limited to, Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus Expedition and SkinSmart. 2-undecanone (chemical name: methyl nonyl ketone). The product BioUD contains 2-undecanone. EPA characterizes the active ingredients DEET and picaridin as “conventional repellents” and OLE, PMD, IR3535, and 2-undecanone as “biopesticide repellents,” which are either derived from or are synthetic versions of natural materials."

Does this repel ticks

I'm about to buy some because Consumer Reports, which actually tests and rates products, says YES. It's one of the top-rated products for effectiveness against both mosquitoes and ticks.http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/insect-repellent/buying-guide(I LOVE CR because of info like this. Between Amazon reviews (lots of user input) and Consumer Reports (systematic unbiased testing) I feel well-informed when I buy things and very rarely disappointed in purchases. (No, CR isn't paying me, I'm just a longtime subscriber.)
