Review on ๐Ÿœ Bug Botanist Flying Bug Remedy: Plant Powered Bug Spray- Family & Pet Friendly, Indoor & Outdoor Use - 16oz Bottle by Linda Diaz

Revainrating 2 out of 5

A good alternative to traditional flying bug sprays

Buried deep in a sea of mouse prints written on the back, Bug Nerd claims this herbal insect repellent kills flies and mosquitoes. I like it. Because where I live, flies and mosquitoes are a problem. I also love that Bug Bontanist's formula is based on essential oils, mainly geraniol. It seems to be a trend these days and I think it's a good trend. Here are a few more notes: SAFETY: Since the main active ingredient is an essential oil called geraniol, it is safe to use around children and pets. It feels better when you spray it around. However, be sure to use eye protection when spraying. EASY TO USE: This insect repellent spray comes in a handy plastic bottle with a spray pump that sprays well. I have used it on a deck rail and will try it on a sliding door screen as well. INSTRUCTIONS: The instructions are a bit confusing. On the one hand they say you can't spray the solution in the air, and on the other hand they say you have to be careful when spraying it on surfaces. Well, it's not like flies and mosquitoes hover 30 cm in front of you, waiting to be sprayed. COMPARISON: Bug Bontanist Bug Repellent Spray is similar to Zevo Instant Action Spray in that the main ingredient is geraniol. But the Bug Bontanist version comes in an aerosol can, while the Zevo version comes in an aerosol can. Also, Bug Bontanist Spray is for flies and mosquitoes while Zevo is for flies, mosquitoes and fruit flies. CONCLUSION: Bug Bontanist Spray works well and comes in a handy spray bottle. Plus, the herbal ingredients make it a great alternative to regular bug sprays.
