My third winter in Austin, Texas is nearly over. While it is predicted to be near-freezing this weekend, warm temperatures will be coming soon. And with
those welcome warmer temperatures come something less welcome – bugs that bite.
Unfortunately, most commercial bug sprays are not as safe as I would like. I’ve coped the last two summers here by wearing long sleeves and long pants when doing yard work. Since I’ve moved away from New York City, I’ve discovered I like gardening!
This year I may experiment with some of the recipes for homemade bug sprays on the Wellness Mama site. One of the recipes takes about three weeks to prepare, so now is the time to get started!
