Hey there! You wouldn't believe how effective essential oils are at keeping insects away and soothing skin after a bug bite or sting. So much better than Benadryl, and it won't leave you tired like Benadryl either…not to mention the risky side effects associated with Benadryl. There's a better way, and we'll jump into that today.

Have you heard about using essential oils to repel pests in your garden? I'm always out in my garden, and it's no surprise to me that essential oils work wonders against pests—similar to how certain flowers and herbs naturally keep them at bay. A lot of gardeners rely on this trick!

And what about houseplants? You can diffuse specific oils with a cordless diffuser (like doTERRA's Roam or the Pilot) on your picnic table to keep bugs away while you enjoy your meal outdoors.

Did you know you can use essential oils to protect your pets from pests too?

We love camping, but I can't stand the smell and feel of store-bought insect repellents—plus, all those warnings about toxicity! Natural repellents I've tried just didn't cut it.

Having these essential oils on hand has been a game-changer for me in situations like this. Now I'm excited to share this discovery with you!

Top natural solutions for bugs + pests

For all things bugs:

Alright, let's dive into the essential staple you've gotta have: Terrashield. This stuff is like bug spray's cool cousin.

And the best part? No stressing about it if the kiddos accidentally taste-test it (which, let's face it, happens more often than we'd like).

Plus, it smells surprisingly good!

Forget the full-body slathering—just a few strategic swipes on the neck, wrists, and ankles usually does the trick.

You can grab it in a handy spray bottle, all ready to go, or snag the pure blend and get creative with your own DIY mix. A little dab here and there, and you're good to go.

But wait, there's more! Here are a few other oils you'll want in your corner:

In the garden:

Why add essential oils to your organic garden? Well, let me break it down for you in a more exciting way!

First off, essential oils are like nature's superheroes—they're carefully extracted from plants to preserve all the good stuff that helps keep your garden thriving.

Forget about those synthetic chemicals! Essential oils offer a clean, green alternative to synthetic pesticides and herbicides, so you can keep your soil happy and healthy.

And here's the kicker: they're safe! No need to worry about harmful chemicals harming your plants or the environment. Just a little goes a long way, unlike those other heavy-duty products.

Now, the magic touch with essential oils and garden pests? They don't play the villain by killing insects; they simply shoo them away! Mix up your own spray by adding 5-10 drops of essential oils to a 16oz spray bottle filled with water. Then spray away on your plants or any bug hangouts.

Who knew gardening could be so aromatic and effective at the same time? Time to give those bugs the boot, the natural way!
