Im heading out into the woods today...but already have bites from my excursion 2 days ago. Im going to try some of these Natural ways to keep Keep Insects at Bay: Fortunately, there are highly effective repellents on the market comprised of natural botanical oils and extracts that are every bit as effective as DEET, but with none of the potentially harmful effects. You can also make your own repellent using: Cinnamon leaf oil (one study found it was more effective at killing mosquitoes than DEET) Clear liquid vanilla extract mixed with olive oil Wash with citronella soap, and then put some 100% pure citronella essential oil on your skin. Java Citronella is considered the highest quality citronella on the market Catnip oil (according to one study, this oil is 10 times more effective than DEET)8 Another option is to use the safe solution I have formulated to repel mosquitoes, fleas, chiggers, ticks, and other biting insects. Its a natural insect spray with a combination of citronella, lemongrass oil, peppermint oil, and vanilla, which is a dynamite blend of natural plant extracts. In fact, an independent study showed my bug spray to be more effective than a product containing 100 percent DEET. And its safe for you, your children, and your pets.
