Natural Aromatic Bug Repellent

The Skeeter Skidaddler is a Safe and Natural Bug Repellent

— July 30, 2015 — Eco
Allen Pollock created an all-natural bug repellent called Skeeter Skidaddler. This repellent uses a combination of natural oils and repellents to dismiss insects.

While many sprays and repellents use toxins and chemicals, this natural bug repellent is specifically designed for sensitive skin. The Skeeter Skidaddler is completely safe for those who are highly allergic to bug bites. In addition, the aromatic spray provides a pleasant scent that appeals to human senses, not bugs.

The base for this aromatic spray is sunflower oil, cedar, clove and cinnamon. These oils repel insects while providing a safe alternative spray for those with sensitive skin and allergies. This product is created in Maine, and 85 percent of the ingredients are locally purchased through US retailers. The product also uses a high pressure spray top, which produces an even mist-like distribution of repellent.
