Organic/non-toxic Insect Repellent

Hi Y. C: where I come from we have a lot of this too. unluckily, we get bitten. this is to let you know what we do then. we pinch any 3 herbs or flowering plants, cutting about a tip of the finger sized amount of a leaf that seems juicy Geraniums elc,... grind it to a pulp and apply it to the swollen bump. it goes away in minutes see if you are bitten, it will work for you. experiment with ferns, flowers, etc... this works for babies and up to old age people... best of luck to you.

Anything that includes tea tree oil is natural insect repellant, they hate the stuff! I also get non-toxic everything!!! not just bug repellant but household cleaners, laundry, bath-n-body,etc at wholesale prices. I can give you more info if you're interested.

Whole Foods has some natural insect repellent and sunscreen in one!

There is a company called Gardens Alive that has non-toxic insect repellents. You can order over the internet. Have a great trip!

Couple of natural pointers.

Don't eat bananas, they attract bugs.

Eat citrus - the orange peel is best - zest it and put it in your morning nutrition shake.

I use this body cream as a repelent http://liveitdontdiet.isagenix.com/us/en/uh_handbodycream... it has 5 types of vitamn C. I have been using it for 3 years on me and my kids. My friends use it on babies because it is natural. Not only keeps the bugs off by keeps your skin hydrated in the sun. It is really cool.

Go to Henrys or Mother's Market. They have several to choose from that are natural bug repelents, some actually smell good. :)

I recently picked up some organic, family-friendly mosquito repellent (2 types) at Walmart (it was in Virginia, but I bet they would have it here). We used the one called HOMS Bite Blocker insect repellent Family Safe, Organic, Deet Free and didn't get any bites while camping for three days. It comes in about a 5 inch long tube with a cap and is on a cardboard backing. It sprays on.

Left over coffee is a good home remedi for bugs, corn nmeal for ants.J. L
