The only 100% deet free bug repellent on the market is our original formula.Just a few days ago I headed out to hike off a little of my half-birthday cake. As I hit the trail, it took only seconds to realize that my bug bite situation was out of control. I spent more time swiping at mozzie bites than looking at the beautiful scenery during my trip. The whole experience got me thinking there must be a better way to repel those obnoxious bloodsuckers without using the traditional repellent chemicals (DEET). When you are in the wilderness, and there are so many pestering bugs, your initial reaction might be to use that lovely smelling chemical called deet. But unlike what you’ve been told, deet isn’t necessarily the safe choice for everyone. Before you head out to camp or hike this summer, I encourage you to read the rest of this article and strongly consider whether it’s the best bug repellent for you.
Deet Free Bug Repellent
Introduction
Outdoor enthusiasts are always on the hunt for new and improved bug repellents. They want something that will fully protect them while they’re out exploring, but they also want something that is all-natural so it doesn’t have any negative impact on the environment. And, if it could smell nice, that would be great too! The perfect solution? Deet free bug spray! Now you can experience full protection without worrying about harmful chemicals or pesky bugs ruining your trip.
What is DEET?
DEET is the active ingredient in bug spray. It’s a chemical that is safe to use and effective against mosquitos, ticks, and other insects. However, it isn’t safe for everyone. DEET can be toxic in high doses.
Deet Free Bug Repellent
DEET is a chemical compound used in insect repellents and other products. DEET has been registered as a pesticide by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. It is also allowed for use in organic farming by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and may be used on certified organic food crops as an alternative to synthetic pesticides that are considered more harmful to humans, animals and the environment than natural ingredients such as DEET.
However, DEET can cause side effects such as skin irritation, nausea and vomiting if it is applied undiluted to your skin or inhaled directly from the bottle; therefore, it should only be applied to exposed skin sparingly and not ingested orally or through inhalation (inhaling).
This is the takeaway for bug spray.
Deet-free bug repellents are an alternative to DEET and can be found in a variety of forms: sprays, lotions, wipes and other options. They’re created using plant oils or essential oils that have been shown to have some efficacy at repelling insects. The length of time they last varies depending on the product used.
Although there is no scientific consensus regarding how effective deet-free bug spray is at preventing bites, it might be worth a try if your child has allergies or sensitivities to chemicals such as DEET. It’s also important to note that while some people may experience fewer side effects from using natural products compared to synthetic ones like DEET, this doesn’t mean they won’t experience any negative reactions at all.
Conclusion
All in all, DEET is an effective way to get rid of pesky insects. However, it comes at a price. The reduction of the risk of diseases such as Lyme disease and West Nile virus is just not worth the potential health effects that you could experience. Therefore, I would recommend using a product that does not contain DEET if at all possible., especially if you are pregnant or have small children.
For those looking for another alternative, there are plenty! Some of these include lemon eucalyptus oil (which has been found to be even more effective than DEET.), Avon’s Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus Picaridin Insect Repellent or up & up’s Bug Off Insect Repellent Spray with Lemon Eucalyptus Oil – just be sure to read labels carefully first before making any purchases!
