If there's one major advantage winter's freeze has over the summer months, it's the absence of biting insects. Beyond the simple annoyance factor, the risk of contracting an insect-borne disease like Lyme or West Nile working our way through the pest control aisle in search of the best product to banish bugs.
Common bug repellents include sprays, candles, smokers, and electronic zappers. Those with chemical sensitivities are finding more natural and alternative products now coming to market.

My hopes and expectations were high. Green Goo came highly recommended, I have heard many great reviews of the Green Goo Natural line and wanted to give the Bug Spray a try. I ordered online and waited a few weeks for it to arrive. I took my coffee and Green Goo Natural Bug...

I don't normally get mosquito bites, but I decided to use this when going to the cottage. It smells bad and does not work. I have never gotten so many mosquito bites in my life. Do not waste your money. Use something natural instead, like peppermint oil.

I bought a shirt at the steep price of $80.00plus tax. The first day I wore it a mosquito landed on my hand. The mosquito needs to land on the shirt and the chemical kills them. It doesn’t repel them though so you still need to apply deet to the places not protected by the...

Living in the south we basically have to have some kind of bug repellent on demand. I picked up this kind a few months ago, with it being family usage, I thought it would work perfect with the three younger kids, husband and myself. Don't get me wrong, it worked, when we kept...

I read the instructions numerous times thinking I'm doing something wrong because the whole family just kept getting bitten over and over. It was crazy. I tend to get bites a bit more for some reason but this was like having nothing on at all. I should have just thrown my money...

I love this to use on my kids. I buy the ingredients from my Homeopathic doctor and make it at home. It is natural and contains no DEET and it works great. The nice thing because it is natural, if the kids want to lie on the couch or bed I don't cringe knowing I will have...

I had some ants coming into my house through the front porch and although this product is for ant hills I thought that the little attachment would fit into the hole that the ants were going into. It only took one spray and by the next day I didn’t see any more ants inside so I...

I bought this product, used it once, and set it aside. When I picked it up again, I found that it was stuck to my floor tiles. Not only was it stuck to the tiles, the bottom of the can had actually eaten a circle in the tiles. There is quite an indentation on the tiles. If...

I used this last weekend before I went outside to pull weeds all afternoon--a job that usually attracts many flying insect fans, just dying to get a bite out of me. I expected the same thing to happen, and I had some trepidation about skipping my usual bug spray to test this...

I was chewed up by mosquitoes and hoped for some relief but that never came. I liked the old After Bite, the one with a very strong smell but effective. The new one does nothing and the itching drives me crazy no matter how much cream I apply.

This is a great product. I love the smells of cinnamon, lemon and cedarwood. We went up into northern Ontario during black fly season. I sprayed it on the exposed places, which it seemed to do a pretty good job (and a really great job for my friend who also used it). I still got...

I would buy this again. The product is a bit on the expensive side but is easy to apply and works well. I use it on ny kids primarily to protect against mosquitos and they do not get bitten when its applied.

The first time I used this product was when I went camping and its formula is way too strong, as soon as I applied it I felt something in my throat and immediately after I go very sick, nausea, stomachache and headache. I don't know why did I have that reaction to it but it last...

For me, these worked well to reduce the number of bites that I could have gotten in the summer and in high mosquito areas in the tropics for nearly a 24 hour period. (Smaller than average sized person) It was simple to apply and did not require any maintenance once it was on...

I've been using a lot of different oils of lately and honestly I had heard of frankincense but was unaware that it was an oil. I have read that this was great for stress and anxiety which I have a lot of. -I put a few drops of this oil in my aromatherapy diffuser and used it...

I was really rooting for this product to solve all my bug bitten needs but sadly it fell short. The scent isn’t overwhelming but the bugs seem to enjoy it instead of being repelled.
