BUG SPRAY
Unfortunately, it’s that time of year again...the time for pesky biting bugs. If you check out the shelves of the stores many “natural” bug sprays contain one of two chemicals DEET or Permethrin. Don’t worry, Green Housewives have you covered with our actual All NATURAL Bug Spray. Our bug spray is aerosol and chemical free.
Did you know that DEET was created by the army because there was a Citronella Shortage and they were looking for something as effective as citronella? I didn’t, until we made this spray and I did some research. Did you also know that DEET causes brain cell death? This exposure to DEET causes neurons to die in regions of the brain that control muscle movement, learning, memory, and concentration. Permethrin is another neurotoxin that works in the same way as DEET. Doesn’t really seem like anything I’d want to put on myself, my children or my pets. Good thing there is a safer alternative.....enter GHBC Bug Spray.
Our Bug Spray is a combination of over a dozen essential oils targeted at repelling mosquitoes and ticks. We think it does a pretty darn good job too! We aren’t the only ones that think so either. Our bug spray has been tested in the jungles of Mexico and Peru as well as my own back yard! Some notable oils that we use are citronella, lemongrass, tea tree, lavender and litsea. We have also added tagetes, geranium and rose geranium which are useful with ticks. While GHBC doesn’t last quite as long as the brands with DEET, it is proven effective for several hours. To apply, you need to shake the bottle before each use to make sure to disperse essential oils and spray well over your entire body taking care of eyes, nose and mouth.
Not only, does it work wonders...it smells amazing too! Say goodbye to stinky sprays and itchy bites!
