Did you know there are more than 60 different species of mosquitoes in Ohio? I had no idea there were so many, all I know is that they like to attack me and my kids like crazy.
What scares me the most is that there are several types of Ohio mosquitoes that can transmit serious, fatal diseases including encephalitis, dengue, yellow fever, West Nile virus, Zika virus (travel required), and malaria!
Natural ways to avoid mosquito bites include wearing light colored clothing, covering your arms and legs, staying away from standing water, and wearing a naturally derived insect repellent.
The best way to prevent catching one of these diseases from a mosquito is to avoid mosquito bites in the first place is with repellent. I have used and trust DEET-free Bug Band for years now.

Keep Mosquitoes Away with this Natural Product
We love the waterproof BugBand because it works and there is no spray required. Simply wear a BugBand on your wrist or attach to your belt loop or bag to repel mosquitoes and other insects naturally for up to 120 hours.Keep nasty biting insects away this summer while hiking, camping, swimming, fishing, boating, in your backyard, and even in town shopping with BugBand Wristbands. Mosquitoes are everywhere!
They are safe for the entire family and DEET-free. These bands repel mosquitoes, flies, gnats, and no-see-ums and other insects naturally for up to 120 hours! This unique repellent creates a shield around you and your immediate area that will keep nasty biting insects away.
My kids are at camp right now and both are wearing a BugBand. It is better than spraying their bodies, especially since who knows how often they will shower! When they are done using it, they can store it in the plastic “pod” to use again the next day or they can keep it out near their camp site to keep mosquitoes away from them and their cabins.
You can purchase BugBand in olive green, blue, yellow, red, pink, black, orange, purple, glow-in-the-dark and a Family 4-Pack, starting at just $4.95 each on the BugBand website and on Amazon.com.
Heavy Natural Protection Against Mosquitoes, Ticks, Fleas, and more
You may be in an area that is heavily populated with mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, flies, gnats, no-see-ums, and other biting insects, you might want to consider BugBand Insect Repellent in either the spray or wipes. I’ve used both and they work amazingly.
I like to keep the individual towelettes with me in my purse and in my car for unexpected mosquitoes. I don’t always carry my BugBand Wristbands with me but the wipes are so convenient to have with me at all times.
Each packet contains 2 wipes that will protect both my kids, myself, and husband as the cloths are large and contain natural, Deet Free repellent.
You can purchase the towelettes on the BugBand website in a pop up dispenser or individual packets starting at around $4 and on Amazon.com.
