Question

Is there anything NATURAL that I can use as a bug reppelent?

Answer 1

Yes, cedar or citronella. Citronella is what's in those yellow candles you burn outdoors to keep insects away. You can also eat a lot of garlic- it repels mosquitos (any everyone else...)

Answer 2

i heard dryer fabric softners

Answer 3

yes , you can wash in nutri-clean from nutrimetics. This product neutralizes odour on contact and there are no chemicals, or detergents in it.

It is made from the yucca plant, papaya extracts and cocoanut oil.  very safe.

Answer 4

you can take Brewers yeast

for people you can start by taking 1000 mg twice a day

and you can go up to 1500 mg three times a day.

pets can take this as well

depending on their size

our 10 lb dog took 500 mg once daily.

this will also help to keep fleas away

this changes the way you smell (humans can not pick up the difference) but bugs can.

they still may fly around you but they will not bite

for some people they still may have SOME problems

there are also some plants that will help to keep bugs away

basil

lavender

there are some essential oils that help.

make sure that you get 100% essential oils

lavender

basil

Cinnamon

citronella

tea tree.

you can either mix them with a carrier oil and apply them to yourself or place some of them in a diffuser with water

to keep you yard /house free of bugs.

also you want to watch what products you are using

most shampoos and body creams and perfumes attract them.

you can make your own

soaps and shampoos

that will not attract bugs.

they do not have to smell bad
