I posted this on my facebook page, and there seemed to be a lot of interest so I thought I'd do a quick post to spread the word here. I recently saw a poll on Mothering.com about natural bug repellents (you can see their results here), and Badger Anti-Bug Shake and Spray was the winner. After purchasing many "misses" in the natural bug repellent department, I decided to give it one last shot. Fourth of July weekend we were all covered in bites, and when I step outside on our porch I can literally see the mosquitoes swarming in the air. I'd had it, and figured I'd try once more.I'm pleased to report that I was not disappointed! I am shocked, actually, at how well it worked! We first tried it one day when we had a picnic right next to a creek and all went swimming. Despite the swimming, all three of us made it out without a single new bite. Then I thought I'd really put it to the test weeding in the garden at dusk on a hot, humid day. I was seeing mosquitoes EVERYWHERE! Admittedly, I sprayed myself with quite a bit, but in the end I still came inside feeling all itchy. I swore that I had to have been covered head to toe in new bites. I showered that itchy feeling away and waited...and waited. By the next day - no new bites! Not a single one!
They also make a balm that comes well recommended as well, which I'm considering getting to keep in my purse for those impromptu moments you find yourself out and going for a hike or whatever. I'm so excited to have found this product, and I hope that it will prove just as effective for you in warding off pesky bugs!
We just purchased our third tube of the balm. Love it. I let my daughter put it on herself and we all like the smell. I just found your blog and am really enjoying it!
