Question:
Besides using bug spray what can i do to prevent bug bites?
Answers:
The case against using household and garden chemical insecticides are the strong chemicals in them. Studies show that some of these chemicals possibly promote cancer and other disorders. The products are still on the market because these findings are still unproven.
Fortunately, nature provides as many remedies as she does insects.
To repeal insects, essential oils can be diffused or put on cotton balls or cedar chips (for use in closets or drawers).
Single oils: Peppermint, lemon, lime, lavender, tea tree, cedarwood, geranium, rosemary, Idaho tansy, rosemary, patchouli, citronella, lemongrass, or thyme.
Dilute 20/80 with carrier oil and apply to exposed skin, as needed.
To be assured of quality, select a therapeutic grade essential oil that is packaged in a dark glass container and has the AFNOR certification on the label.
Hope this helps.
