Essential OIl Blend: Bug Off
Essential oil insect control blend
Bug Off: Contains cedarwood atlas, rosewood, cinnamon, citronella, lemongrass, bitter orange and orange peel and vanilla. 10ml concentrate.
This blend is designed to be a safe and natural approach to insect control for both horse and rider. Cedarwood is the primary ingredient in our Bug Off. Cedarwood is known to be toxic to fleas, ticks and mosquitos. It is completely non-toxic to horses and humans and has a lovely woodsy aroma. Rosewood has similar properties to cedarwood, with proven insecticidal properties, and cinnamon has been found by researchers to be an effective way to destroy mosquito and tick larva. Citronella, lemongrass, bitter orange and orange peel are very effective against mosquitos, and against lice and some biting flies. Vanilla is known to be effective in its pure form when blended with citronella. Combine with a carrier oil or alcohol such as witch hazel. Essential oils will evaporate at a faster rate than a chemically produced product such as DeetTM, so applications are needed more frequently.
