All natural bug spray

Posted by admin on July 27, 2009

It’s that time of year, where we’re spending more time outside enjoying the weather. While we’re enjoying the outdoors, the bugs are enjoying us! I was on a trip to WI and PA recently, and wish I had taken this All-Natural Bug Spray with me, then I’d not have been mosquito’s lunch and dinner!

If you’re like a lot of people, you use a bug spray that contains DEET. DEET is an active ingredient in a large percentage of insect repellents that repel biting insects like mosquitoes, ticks and gnats. DEET has some side effects, especially in people with sensitive skin, children, babies, animals/pets-dizziness, vomiting, liver/kidney damage and other.

DEET has been found in underground water sources, and can be harmful to household pets. Tests/studies are still being done on the effects to wildlife, trees, flowers.

So, rather than using a DEET insect repellent, use an all natural one.

This all natural, DEET-free alternative to chemical based insect repellents will provide hours of bug free fun.

Uses: After shaking, spray on exposed skin always avoiding the eyes and mouth. Re-apply after swimming or exercising. This product will not kill insects but it will prevent them from biting you.

According to CDC evaluation of scientific literature, both lemon and eucalyptus oils provide long-lasting and effective protection against disease-carrying insects such as mosquitoes and tics.
