What's a good, natural insect spray for babies?
I would go for repellents recommended by NEA and WHO website. http://www.dengue.gov.sg/subject.asp?id=162 http://www.who.int/features/qa/zika/en/ As far as going for natural remedies or formulas, I prefer to buy the sure work methods that has been researched and proven effective. Reading the labels on ingredients will help you to understand the product better and make the wise purchase. Also ensure that the product you are getting can prevent Aedes mozzie bites. I bought Off! Active which contains Deet and the other is Mozz Away Long hours which contain Picaridin. The latter is safe for children. However I will not risk apply either on their skin. Spray the back of their clothes should suffice. Reapply Off! Active every 4 hours while Mozz Away every 6 hours. The long hours Mozz Away will be helpful to schooling children. Understand that redmart still has stock for Off! Active. Guardians, Watsons and Unitys has been replenishing their stock readily but also flew off their shelves speedily. Either give a call to the outlet nearest to you and enquire about their stock before rushing down or enquire when will their stock replenish.
Read moreI learnt back in school during camping trips that lemon grass is a good mosquito (and I'm guessing other bugs) repellent. We used to bruise the lemongrass stalk and dab the juice of the lemongrass on our pillows and blankets. And it worked well all the time. I haven't tried it recently but maybe I would since mosquitoes seem to be and huge issue these days. Also, I know that pandan juice keeps roaches away -- learnt this from a taxi uncle. He has pandan leaves in his taxi for the fragrance and also for keeping bugs out.
