Recently the EPA has approved several natural products as registered insect repellents. Natural bug repellents use essential oils to battle buggy insects.\u00a0Citronella<\/a>, a pungent grass from Southeast Asia is a common ingredient. Other plant oils – including\u00a0Cedarwood<\/a>,\u00a0Eucalyptus<\/a>,\u00a0Lemon<\/a>\u00a0grass and\u00a0Peppermint<\/a>\u00a0– help provide a wider range of protection.<\/p>\n
