Natural Bug Repellent

I wish I could say I was a natural at repelling bugs! Alas, I have read a lot about what is the best thing to do to keep those bugs (especially mosquitoes!) from biting me and our kids. Unfortunately, the three of us (my two boys and I...my husband is not as sensitive) have a strong reaction to mosquito bites. So, anything we can do to keep them away (that won't harm us more), we try to do.

The bug repellent we have been using for the last two years is made by Repel. It is an all-natural mix of lemon and eucalyptus oils. It works! I never put it on my baby, though! Now that he is one, we will see how he does.

Your body chemistry has a lot to do with what will work for you. Unfortunately, I have not found a lot of choices at mainstream stores. I buy Repel online. Read up and keep those bugs off (I really wanted to say, "bug off!").
