Buggins® Natural Insect Repellent is a pleasant-smelling spray that repels annoying black flies, deer flies, stable flies, no-see-ums and BITING GNATS! Suitable for both adults and children, this plant-based liquid has a unique aroma consisting of refreshing peppermint, garden roses and creamy vanilla. The soft, powdery vanilla notes are blended with four natural essential oils having insect repellent properties. This water-based formula contains no DEET or alcohol, and does not need to be washed off when going indoors. It is not sticky or greasy. When there are just a few bugs and the power of DEET is not required, Buggins® provides relief from annoying insects. If you're just sitting around the patio / BBQ for an hour or so and don't want to put on oily "bug spray," this stuff is simply fantastic! Most of the time, a few biting bugs are only a nuisance and Buggins® is ideal for these situations. When mosquitoes and ticks become more than pests, or they might carry disease, use our DEET-based BuggSpray Insect Repellents. See product label for ingredients, precautions and directions for use.
