PESKY® formulas use a premium blend of carefully selected botanical chemotypes designed for broader outdoor performance.

These plants naturally produce aromatic compounds such as:

🌿 Our Story

PESKY® didn’t begin in a laboratory.

It began in a family kitchen—with a handwritten recipe passed down through generations in Coamo, Puerto Rico.

Originally used during long summer evenings to help deter biting insects, the blend was later refined and reimagined for modern outdoor life.

We improved consistency. Elevated performance. Preserved the foundation.

What started as a family tradition became a mission:

👉 To create thoughtfully formulated, plant-based solutions designed for real outdoor conditions.

Today, PESKY® is carried by outdoor retailers nationwide—while staying true to its roots.

Rooted in tradition. Refined for performance.
