Most natural sprays use 1% geraniol. Trailside uses 3%, dosed to the level peer-reviewed research validates. The difference between a spray that smells nice and one that actually repels the tick.
Plant-derived actives only. No DEET, no synthetics.
Formulated for kids 6 months and older.
Built around peer-reviewed Lone Star tick data.
It's called Alpha-Gal Syndrome. The Lone Star tick spreads it. There's no cure, no antidote, and the tick is pushing further north every year. Trailside is built around the threat.

My sister-in-law has Alpha-Gal from a tick bite three summers ago. Watching her read every restaurant menu changed how I think about tick season. Tried two natural sprays before this and both felt thin. The 3% concentration is why I picked Trailside up. Smells like cedar and rosemary, not chemicals. My kids actually let me put it on them.
We live in central PA. The tick boom is real and the deer in our yard don't help. My two boys are 4 and 7 and outside every dry day. I refused to put DEET on them but I also wasn't going to gamble on a 1% spray that smells nice and does nothing. Three weeks in, no ticks pulled off anyone. Reapplying every couple hours feels manageable.
I'm in eastern NC and the Lone Star tick freaks me out. Started reading about Alpha-Gal Syndrome and got serious about prevention. Used Wondercide for a year but never trusted the dose. Got Trailside because of the geraniol concentration and the research backing. It's the only one I trust to actually work. Still get to eat steak on weekends.
Used Wondercide for our family for two summers. Liked the company, liked the smell. But when I read about the CDC study testing natural sprays at 1%, that was the wake-up. Trailside has triple the active ingredient. Three weekends camping in Virginia with my husband and son and we haven't pulled a single tick. Same plant-based, way better dose.
Bought a bottle before a backpacking trip in northern Michigan. Did its job on ticks but also kept mosquitoes off, which I wasn't expecting. The smell is honestly nice, cedar with a hint of mint. Didn't melt my watch face like DEET does. One bottle has lasted three weekends out so far.
