Thank you for taking the time to research them and sharing! </p> <p>@looch: I'll look into that! My ILs have woods on their property and apparently they get ticks. Not something I ever thought about until it was mentioned rather nonchalantly "Oh and you might want to check DD for ticks when you get home. We let her wander into the thicker trees." :meh: </p> <p>@Silva: Reconsidering DEET for them now that they're older... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-tried-and-true-bug-spray-2016#post-2544188 Mon, 09 May 2016 08:24:40 +0000 snowjewelz 2544188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a lot of research and these are what I'm getting esp being pregnant this summer! </p> <p>All Terrain<br /> Sawyer (Picaridin)<br /> Natrapel </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-tried-and-true-bug-spray-2016#post-2544145 Mon, 09 May 2016 07:45:30 +0000 looch 2544145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son goes to a camp with trails and there are deer, so lyme is a real concern for us. We use a formula with picaridin and it's worked nicely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-tried-and-true-bug-spray-2016#post-2544032 Sun, 08 May 2016 20:57:28 +0000 Silva 2544032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live in an area with ticks and Lyme disease, so we use DEET. It's actually pretty safe, despite its bad reputation. I usually just use off! I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-tried-and-true-bug-spray-2016#post-2544031 Sun, 08 May 2016 20:51:33 +0000 regberadaisy 2544031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: which wristband do you like? I need to get some soon for the girls and hoping they'll keep them on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-tried-and-true-bug-spray-2016#post-2544024 Sun, 08 May 2016 20:41:26 +0000 MrsSRS 2544024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We like the essential oil wristbands for just playing in the backyard. And plain, old Family OFF for high bug situations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-tried-and-true-bug-spray-2016#post-2544005 Sun, 08 May 2016 19:59:17 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2544005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have tried a ton of natural stuff but right now oth Zika we are just using Deet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-tried-and-true-bug-spray-2016#post-2544002 Sun, 08 May 2016 19:48:43 +0000 avivoca 2544002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm looking at Avon Skin So Soft, but I need to check out what is in store. The Avon is so pricy and it doesn't have the recommended concentration of bug repellant for mosquitos. I'd prefer a more natural spray too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-tried-and-true-bug-spray-2016#post-2544000 Sun, 08 May 2016 19:33:02 +0000 hellobeeboston 2544000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good question! I need a reco too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-tried-and-true-bug-spray-2016#post-2543893 Sun, 08 May 2016 11:21:27 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 2543893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like there's a lot of hit and miss with so many of these bug sprays. And every year they keep coming out with more or new and improved. What are your favorite tried and true big sprays out there? Particularly with mosquitos and kiddos who react strongly/almost allergic reaction to those bites? </p>
