Naturally repel mosquitos, ticks, chiggers, no-see-ums, fleas and more! Herbal infused plus essential oils.Bug Away the Natural Way was created after I developed lyme’s disease from a tick bite and needed a product to repel ticks and mosquitoes safely and effectively. Our bug spray smells lovely and refreshing. We also include some unique ingredients like pure mexican vanilla to help our product repel mosquitoes longer than our competitors (clinical studies have shown vanilla is an effective insect repellent). Being an herbalist, I always sneak herbs into my products when possible, and this product is no exception. I tincture the witch hazel with yarrow and catnip for six weeks to extract the insect repelling properties from the herbs. Yarrow and catnip herbs have been shown to be as effective as Deet, with no harmful side effects. This is not a basic witch hazel and essential oil bug spray, it is infused for WEEKS with strong herbs PLUS organic essential oils.
