Natural Insect Repellents

No matter where you go in the world, one thing that you’ll find everywhere is insects. Especially in India, being a tropical country, insects are more in number than people and so it becomes super important to protect yourself from these pesky pests that are not just irritating but also cause a lot of diseases and spread viruses. In our day to day lives, we tend to use a lot of products to get rid of germs and insects and all these cleaning products are laden with harmful chemicals. These products might get rid of insects temporarily but prove to be terrible for humans and pets in the long run, causing various issues like allergies, asthma and other various diseases, especially since they are used daily. 

Switching to organic products such as natural room fresheners, and herbal cleaning products is a great alternative. When you clean your house using natural materials, you not only safeguard your belongings but also your health in the process. Natural cleaning products do not include any chemicals, do not have any long-term detrimental effects on your health, and are also affordable. They are just as effective when it comes to really getting rid of all the bacteria and germs in your home, but fortunately, they do not have all of the terrible side effects that chemical cleaning products have. Even though these products are made of herbal ingredients, they don’t spread a foul odor and when used along with natural essential oils, they smell even more pleasant and fresh. Here is a list of effective and natural insect repellents that you can use in and around your house for a cleaner and safer environment.

  • Herbal Mosquito Repellent

One of the most common ways of getting rid of mosquitoes is to spray a few shots of a chemical laden spray in the room and leave it for 10-15 minutes.

Get rid of all these issues with a herbal mosquito repellent which has to be sprayed 1-2 times a day for 5 days and is more effective at getting rid of the mosquitos in the long run.

  • Herbal Lizard Repellent

Lizards are not only terrifying to look at but they are one of those insects that are difficult to ward off.

You might try using Lizard Spray, which is an all-natural repellent that contains ingredients including lemongrass, cedarwood, and neem tree oil. It is harmless to use around children, pets, and other members of your household since it is non-toxic. This is sprayed on, and it is extremely easy to use.

This bed bug spray is very effective, since it eliminates bed bugs in all of their life stages, from eggs to nymphs to adults.
