Banish the Bites

Summer’s in full swing and for many kids that means day camp, trips to the beach, barbeques, and…bug bits?! Ouch! Avoid the discomfort and annoyance of bites from mosquitoes, gnats and other bugs this summer with new Bug Bandit, $13.95, an all natural, pesticide-free, DEET-free bug repellant spray from the makers of Fairy Tales Hair Care. Thanks to a blend of lemon eucalyptus and soybean oil, the spray is as effective as DEET in repelling bugs- without the use of harsh chemicals. (The formula is infused with natural oils to keep skin soft and moisturized, too.) Bug Bandit is also available in a handy travel size bottle perfect for back packs and beach bags, $3.49, and is safe for kids ages 3 and up. Available at www.fairytaleshaircare.com
