Is there anything better than a picnic in the grass on a warm summer day, or relaxing on the porch, enjoying the breeze on a balmy evening? We don't think so either and that's why we get irritated when our simple summer pleasures are spoiled by the appearance of pesky biting bugs. Since there is just nothing pleasant about most chemically laden bug sprays, from the ingredients to the icky odors, we were delighted to discover a line from Plantlife, called Pest-Off.

Pest-Off is a 100% natural, chemical free repellent, made with your comfort and health in mind. The first layer of natural prevention against the most troublesome pest attacks is the Deet-free Herbal Soap. Free of chemicals or synthetic ingredients it is safe for any age. For best results, follow with the Pest-Off Body Oil, a blend of pure plant and essential oils known for their insect repelling properties. These proven natural ingredients provide a layer of protection on the skin, leaving you soft and fresh smelling.

You can turn your favorite body lotion into an insect repellent by adding a few drops of the Pest-Off Essential Oil. This perfect blend of 100% pure essential oils, known for their insect repellent properties, has a fresh, citrus aroma to ward off pests. You can also use it in a diffuser!

If you forget to protect yourself and are now plagued with itchy, irritated, insect bitten skin, don't fret! Plantlife has created a special, ultra-soothing Repair Balm to control bite symptoms and promote healing that is safe for all ages.
