Be honest I found I use very little repellent out doors. Only if I see signs of infestation.
I like for natural predators like spiders and praying mantis.
Skip the repellant and you plant will build a Eco system and take care of its self.
Without poison I've seen bull frogs come from the water at night to eat bugs in the garden. One time a bull frog was on a limb on my tomato plant.
