As the same with everything else, we can't just run out to any old store and by OFF! or whatever conventional bug spray they have sitting on the shelf. I thought I read that Julia recommended the Badger Anti-Bug Shake and Spray, but mommy brain makes reading and UNDERSTANDING words a 12 day process. Translate: I can't read. Well, we had put this $11:99 beauty in the Whole Foods cart.
INGREDIENTS (all organic) soybean oil, castor oil, citronella, cedar, lemongrass, rosemary, geranium, peppermint, water, and wintergreen.
It's actually pretty good. The baby was getting eaten up after our morning walks, but they stopped eating her. Parent win. Unfortunately, because the mosquitoes keep getting in the house, Sean has to wear bug spray in our office. He has a major reaction to the bits, and he gets ping pong ball-sized welts on his body.
Yaaaay! I'm so glad that stuff worked out for you. Mosquitos are just starting to get bad around here, so we're probably going to be living with the smell of citronella for the next several months.
