Rooted

Cowboy Don

From the coffee roaster to the open range — our story’s got grit.

​

We’re not some big-city, lab-coat-wearing chemical factory. We’re a small, Michigan-born outfit that believes you can fight bugs without smelling like a science experiment or coating yourself in toxins you can’t pronounce.

​

The legend goes like this… One summer, while swatting skeeters on the porch after a long day roasting coffee, Cowboy Don decided enough was enough. Armed with grit, a stubborn streak, and a good nose for natural remedies, he mixed up a batch of essential oils that not only sent the bugs packing — it smelled downright good doing it.

The result? Bite The Dust — our all-natural, DEET-free mosquito & tick repellent. Strong enough for the trail, safe enough for the family (even the four-legged ones). No junk, no cruelty, no compromise.

​

We make our repellents in small batches with simple, powerful ingredients because that’s the way it should be. And we stand by every bottle like it’s the last bullet in the chamber — tested in real conditions:

• Lakeside fishing trips

• Backwoods hikes

• Backyard BBQs

• Even those notorious Michigan horsefly battlegrounds

 

Our Promise:

• 🌿 100% natural ingredients

• 💀 DEET-free, junk-free, cruelty-free

• 🐾 Pet-friendly formulas available

• 🇺🇸 Made in Michigan

 

Because life’s too short to hide indoors. Saddle up, spray on, and send those bloodsuckers to Boot Hill.
