Fun in the Summer Sun


Without the Pesky Bugs 

Summer is a wonderful time to be outside with family and friends enjoying nature and lazy summer days. But as much as we love nature we aren't always too fond of the summer bugs that like to snack on humans and pets. Did you know that lavender is a natural bug repellant without all the harsh artificial chemicals and scents? Create a lovely lavender display or decorate your home with sachets to help keep the pesky bugs away naturally during the warm summer months.

Why do insects such as mosquitos and flies run away from Lavender and its essence?

While the aroma of lavender is very appealing to to us as humans the scent is less than appetizing for many insects that seem to come out in droves during the summer months. Remember that a little lavender goes a long way- even small amounts of the strong scent will do the trick.
