An insect repellent/insecticide starts with a main composition that is composed of the three primary essential oils of eucalyptus, citronella, and pine. A number of secondary essential oils can be added that provide additional beneficial characteristics, depending upon the application. A safe embedded tick “remove and kill” product includes a basic pH adjuster that is added to the main composition in an amount sufficient to adjust the pH of the main composition to approximately between 6.4 and 7.4, and preferably equal to about 6.5. A repellent spray dilutes the main composition in water to about 1% concentration by volume and a sufficient amount of a basic pH adjuster is added thereto to adjust the pH of the main composition to approximately between 6.4 and 7.4, and preferably equal to about 6.5. Soap includes the main composition combined with a detergent, glycerin, and a sufficient amount of an acidic pH adjuster to adjust the pH of the soap composition to approximately between 6.4 and 7.4, and preferably equal to about 6.8.
