They’re as easy to make as the original bars, and they seem even more effective at keeping bugs away than regular homemade bug spray. Probably because they actually coat the skin with a protective layer. They’re easy to take along and the kids can apply it themselves. What’s the Problem With Bug Spray?

In my experience, I’ve found that success comes from not how you do it but who helps you do it, and a team of experts is the most effective way to get there.…
