All natural, homemade insect repellent

As a family, we like to get outdoors and enjoy natural environment. But there’s one part of nature that we don’t enjoy — bugs. Whether buzzing in your ear or nibbling at your ankles, bugs can quickly ruin an outdoor activity. There are plenty of bug repellents out there — effective ones at that — but whether spraying yourself or your family down with chemicals isn’t your style, consider that homemade insect repellent bar instead.

You’ll need to gather a few items, some likely from a health food store, but after that, putting the bar together is fairly quick. I’d compose several at once, I think, thereupon store them in handy places like the car, my backpack, the beach

bag, etc. Though I’m convinced a homemade bar won’t repel bugs as well as a chemical spray, the peace of intellect you’ll get from using something natural and non-toxic might be worth a bite or two.
