Article by Jutta Dewell<\/p>\n

Most people use conventional insect repellants that really work, but what is in that stuff that they are
\nspraying on their body and in their face and on their kids, too? Most of them contain a potentially
\ndangerous chemical insect repellant\/insecticide named DEET.<\/p>\n

The Environmental Protection Agency says it is safe, but suggests that you should wash it off your skin
\nwhen you return indoors, avoid breathing it in and not spray it directly on your face. So, it\u2019s not
\ncompletely harmless and some people do have adverse reactions to it.<\/p>\n

There are safer alternatives that do work.<\/p>\n

One of our best selling products is Cedarcide\u2019s TickShield\u00a9 Tactical, a cedar oil based non-toxic
\nbackwoods repellant for people and pets. This is not only a repellant, but also a contact killer for ticks,
\nfleas, chiggers, gnats, no-see-ums, mosquitoes, bed bugs, lice, wasps, horseflies and a lot of other non-
\nbeneficial insects. It is 100% organic and contains 20% cedar oil and 80% hydrated silica, a form of silicon
\ndioxide (sand). It is EWG (Environmental Working Group) verified with a very low level (score 1) of
\noverall hazard (https:\/\/www.ewg.org\/skindeep\/ingredient\/719552\/HYDRATED_SILICA\/).<\/p>\n

Cedar oil seems to be the most powerful natural repellent. It was even used by the Egyptians in the
\nmummification process!<\/p>\n
