Natural Bug Spray can protect your family when you choose EPA-registered plant-based actives and apply them on schedule.

In this episode of Becoming Natural, we walk through which repellents have real evidence, how to use them safely on kids and adults, and when picaridin may be the wiser choice for tick country. If bite season has you reading every label in the aisle, this conversation is for you — you want protection without dousing your family in harsh chemicals, but the word natural on a bottle does not tell you much on its own.
This episode also explores:
• How oil of lemon eucalyptus with PMD performed in field trials against mosquitoes
• Why most spray failures are application failures, not product failures
• When picaridin or DEET may be the wise choice for travel or tick-heavy woods
• Why registered oil of lemon eucalyptus is not the same as essential oil from the wellness aisle
• CDC and EPA label cautions for children under three
A gentle reminder: this episode is educational and not medical advice — please check with your own provider before making changes, especially during pregnancy or nursing, with children, or if you take medications or manage a health condition.
