Keep Bugs Away with Non-Toxic Bug Sprays

If you're looking for an alternative to chemical ridden conventional bug sprays, look no further. Here are 4 stellar options for keeping the bugs away without dousing yourself in pesticides such as DEET.

• Burt's Bees Herbal Insect Repellent. Uses rosemary, lemongrass, citronella, and other oils that bugs hate. Safe for children and pets, too.

• Badger Balm. These tins and sticks of Anti-Bug formulas use citronella, rosemary, cedar, and geranium to ward off bugs.

• Bite Blocker. Available in herbal wipes or lotion, Bite Blocker combines coconut, soybean, and geranium oils.

• Catnip. Look for products that contain catnip. Catnip is 10 times more effective than DEET.
