Most unwanted pests.
One specific ingredient called limonene has studies backing it's effectiveness as a natural repellent.

Here is part of an EPA paper:
Limonene
This fact sheet summarizes the information in the RED document for
reregistration case 3083, limonene.
Limonene is a naturally occurring chemical which is used in many
food products, soaps and perfumes for its lemon-like flavor and odor.
Limonene also is a registered active ingredient in 15 pesticide products used as insecticides, insect repellents, and dog and cat repellents.
Pesticide products containing limonene are used for flea and tick
control
on pets, as an insecticide spray, an outdoor dog and cat repellent, a
fly repellent tablecloth, a mosquito larvicide, and an insect repellent
for use on humans. Formulations include ready-to-use solutions,
emulsifiable concentrates, granulars and impregnated material.
Limonene
is applied by hand as needed, both indoors and outdoors. Use practice
limitations include a label prohibition against use on weanling kittens
and a caution against use of undiluted product.

| P.S. Will this always work?
No
But is it an inexpensive, and safer option than many of the topical insecticides?
Yes
Along that vein, I am also suggesting that you give your dog or cat natural ingredients that can potentially prevent disease in the first place.
Such as Probiotics, Colostrum, Antioxidants, Glucosamine, MSM
These are all in my supplements.
