BUGG OFF!

May 12 2017 – Delikate Rayne

Survive the upcoming spring and summer months bug bite-free. Insects can be such a pain, mosquitos, ants, you get the picture. As a vegan is it ok to squash these little buggers? Some say yes some say no, it's hard to know what's what? So we decided to put together some vegan friendly insect repellents that hopefully can help keep the pestsaway all together thanks to these home made remedies. Essential oils are a great alternative to chemical filled insect repellents. Creating your own natural mosquito or bug spray with oils is less expensive than buying brand name products and you have full control over the ingredients. Let these simple recipes made of natural and vegan essential oils be your protecta!
