It smells nice and doesn't leave you sticky. I use it as well ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bug-spray-recs#post-2234104 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 12:13:19 +0000 jessibear 2234104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This stuff is made not far from me and everyone around here swears by it. I had it on last night and the Mosquitos were crazy but I didn't get any bites. It smells great and is safe. We love it. <a href="https://www.simplysoothing.net/bug-soother/" rel="nofollow">https://www.simplysoothing.net/bug-soother/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bug-spray-recs#post-2234056 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 10:16:05 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2234056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bubble and bee organic? We don't have a ton of bugs, so I don't know if it works in crazy bug areas, but it has worked well for us and smells good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bug-spray-recs#post-2234054 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 10:14:30 +0000 blackbird 2234054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Applesandbananas: yep. I bought the Non scented. It does have some deet but honestly, the natural ones aren't working for her. I've used that Honest bug spray and she and I still get eaten up. And she's not a baby who's licking the spray off or anything. She's on antibiotics for the infection, though. She gets a bath every evening so I know it's off her </p> <p>I also have some stuff with picaridin for the gnats and that keeps them off me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bug-spray-recs#post-2234052 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 10:08:47 +0000 looch 2234052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Off with picaridin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bug-spray-recs#post-2234035 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 09:42:01 +0000 Truth Bombs 2234035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been happy with the California Baby Bug spray. Not cheap but all natural/safe and still effective. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bug-spray-recs#post-2234034 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 09:41:21 +0000 Applesandbananas 2234034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: just like the family care version? what did she say about the infected bug bites? I used a little breastmilk on his, which aren't infected, but they still look terrible :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bug-spray-recs#post-2234030 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 09:31:42 +0000 blackbird 2234030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man. We just took E to the pediatrician yesterday for infected bug bites. She said to use Skintastic/Off. Sure enough, I bought some and sprayed E and her clothes yesterday before an outdoor picnic, let her run wild and free in the grass, and NO BITES! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bug-spray-recs#post-2233959 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 06:47:41 +0000 Applesandbananas 2233959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been using a babyganics bug spray for our 2 year old but he's still being eaten alive by mosquitos :( any suggestions for a better bug spray? </p>
