Natural Bug Repellents

Green Bug Repellents

It’s warming up, the bugs are here,
Send them buzzing away in fear,
Use repellents made the eco-friendly way,
Insects don’t like green blood anyways!
Buzz Off…Naturally!

As the weather warms up, nature’s dinner bell starts to ring and pesky insects everywhere
begin to lick their chops. Spoil their human feast by using eco-friendly insect repellents
that meet a few important guidelines.

* Stay away from products that contain the chemical DEET, which can cause headaches and severe long-term health problems.

* Use repellents that contain natural plant-derived oils such as citronella, tea tree, neem, jojoba, pennyroyal, noni, soybean, thyme, lavender, or lemon eucalyptus.

* You can even make your own green insect repellent. In a spray bottle, mix 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/3-cup witch hazel, and 5 drops of citronella, Eucalyptus oil, or any of the other essential plant oils. Shake vigorously and store in the refrigerator.

* Many eco-friendly repellents are available nationwide. Some examples include Second Skin Naturals, California Baby, Badger Balm, and Repel Lemon Eucalyptus.
