Bug spray was broken.
We live where it matters most.

Ranger Ready was invented in Norwalk, Connecticut — a few miles south of the epicenter of America’s Lyme disease epidemic. Around here, ticks aren’t an abstract risk. They’re in the yard, on the dog, on the kids after soccer practice.

Founder Chris L. Fuentes saw the problem up close: vector-borne diseases were climbing year after year, while the repellents on the shelf hadn’t changed since the 1950s. DEET worked, but it smelled terrible, felt greasy, and melted the gear it touched — so people simply didn’t wear it. The best repellent in the world is useless in a drawer.

So he built the next-generation, better-ingredient brand: Picaridin 20% for skin, Permethrin 0.5% for clothing — protection people actually enjoy wearing, made in the USA with family-owned manufacturers, in fully recyclable packaging.

The mission hasn’t changed: stem the alarming rise of vector-borne disease in the United States by getting safe, effective repellent onto the people who need it — properly, and often.
