DEET free bug spray

This is exciting! I met the ladies of Green Cauldron years ago at the Sauerkraut Festival and loved the aromatherapy products I purchased. I decided it was time to try their natural insect repellent, "Bugger Off!".


I'll admit, I was very skeptical about this one. I am a mosquito magnet and didn't want to waste money on something that didn't work.

Over the past week, I put it to the test:
  • outside in my garden
  • outside at dusk playing tennis
  • outside, walking in a garden, by a river
  • outside at dusk, pulling weeds in my yard, before a thunderstorm
I'm happy to report that IT WORKS*! I'm so relieved and not itchy! Highly recommended for when you are out working in your garden.

*For it to be most effective make sure you re-apply every hour.

Side note: I will continue to wear an insect repellent with DEET for times when I'll be outside in the wild for an extended period of time (camping, long hikes, etc). Overall, I am trying to reduce the amount of chemicals being absorbed through my skin (DEET & others).

Would it work at dusk, playing cornhole with a cold beverage in my hand?
Just wondering.


Enjoyed your posts.

Jnoel-
I'll have to give that a test drive - I'll report back and let you know if under those very specific conditions if it still works. :)

I'm thinking you should start a blog too.
Some blog names for you off the top of my head...
"The Daily Jets", "I wish I was Jetsi's blog" or "I put a pig head on my friend's balcony and denied it for years" - jut a few ideas to get your started.
