Bugs are annoying. I'm not talking all bugs, but the ones that bite us, our pets, and our favored plants.
What we hate worse.. is Chemicals! Smelly, sticky, toxic, not-good-for-anything chemicals. Nobody likes wearing big spray, or the smell of insecticides. They can be expensive, and sometimes just don't work.
This is part of a series of organic bug controls.
There is no such things as 100% bug control.
Repelling bugs is the first step toward a happier, less Bad Bug-ier existence. The best way to do that is Biodiversity! So when you are planting your garden, add in some of these other plants to help deter the average garden pest. Sadly I have yet to find anything that deters children except things with thorns.
