Weekly Giveaway: Wish Garden Catnip Oil Bug Spray

Giveaways / Informational

This Week’s Giveaway:

This week’s Weekly Giveaway prize is a bottle of Wish Garden Herbs Catnip Oil Bug Spray.  Back to school time is upon us, which often involves more forced outdoor activities. Depending on where you live, you may still have a few good months of annoying bugs to avoid. Apple orchards and pumpkin patches can be almost unbearable without a good buy spray.

Sure, DEET is really good at repelling bugs.  It actually goes in and inhibits the activity of an important central nervous system enzyme in insects. Unfortunately, if you check the safety specs of it, it does the same thing in mammals too, so be careful when you have your DEET around mammals that you love, like your dog or your horse… you know, ANY OTHER MAMMALS that you can think of that you love.  DEET is also an effective solvent.  So, some of its uses around your house would be if you needed something to dissolve plastics, synthetic fabrics, varnished surfaces or the likes. So, it’s definitely really handy to have around, but I’d seriously reconsider putting it on your body or your children’s bodies.

Catnip contains a substance called nepetalactone, which can be ten times more effective at repelling bugs than DEET and doesn’t smell overbearing like citronella. The only downside of the natural mosquito spray is that you have to reapply a small amount every hour or two to keep it working as effectively. I’d say that’s a small price to pay to keep your mammals safe.

Good luck on this week’s Weekly Giveaway!
