natural repellent
Chemical-free pest discourager
A natural repellent is a substance derived from plants, minerals, or other non-synthetic sources that deters insects, animals, or pests.
Citronella, peppermint oil, and garlic are common natural repellents.
The term often appears in marketing to distinguish products from chemical alternatives: I prefer natural repellents to DEET-based sprays.
