Neem branches When you venture outside, especially in peak mosquito season, choose your insect repellent carefully. While it is important to minimize the risk of being bitten, many commercial products contain dangerous and toxic chemicals such as DEET. The same thing goes for your home garden. While we don't like the competition from those pesky insects that want to munch our herbs and veggies before we have a chance to harvest them, no one wants to spray poisons all over the food we feed to our families. Thankfully there are natural, organic alternatives for the backyard family garden.
Try some of these effective and great smelling herbal insect repellent formulas for yourself and see for yourself what a better choice they can be for your family. See also: Natural treatment for bug bites and rashes
