Finding a good bug repellent is an unfortunate necessity in a number of regions of the United States of America. With the advent of the widespread dispersion of the West Nile Virus, there is now yet another reason why you dont want a mosquito bite. The main problem with most bug repellents is that they are chocked full of potentially harmful chemicals.

This can become a case of the cure being worse than the disease. However, there are some innovative companies out there that are producing bug repellents that dont use harmful chemicals. These eco-friendly bug sprays rely instead on oils that are naturally repellent to insects. There are a variety of plants whose particular oils have evolved to function as natural bug deterrents. The plants employ their bug repellent nature in order to keep bugs from munching on them.

Buzz Away is the brand name of one of the top natural bug repellents on the market. It has been given great reviews by everyone from the National Parenting Award Committee to the Good Housekeeping Institute. Everyone who is looking for a healthy alternative to the toxic chemicals of commercial repellents seems to agree that Buzz Away fulfills this promise.

A Potent Natural Cocktail
The secret to natural bug repellents is of course which natural oils they choose to employ. Buzz Away uses a combination of citronella, cedarwood, eucalyptus, lemongrass and peppermint. A pleasant side effect of this particular combination is that it smells good and has none of that all too familiar chemical smell that most bug repellents have.
