Bugs that bite. Can’t stand them. I’m pretty sure they reside at the very top of the food chain.

When DEET (being a four letter word and all) is a non option for a baby, where do you turn? Citronella? Crap. Doesn’t really work well, and you need to reapply every 30 mins or so. And personally I dislike the odour of fake lemon.
Reading from the much informative pages of Ecoholic (by Adria Vasil) she recommends trying either Bite Blocker, or Repel Lemon Eucalyptus.
After a little research I think I’ve settled on trying Bite Blocker. Seeing as Repel falls under the same megacorp that produces THIS.
Looks like I’ll need to buy online since I haven’t had any luck at the local green stores (they all seem to carry Druide Citronella, boring) and while I’m at it throw in a pet sprayer. If anyone wants to go for half on that big bottle let me know. Our pup got eaten pretty badly up north yesterday.
