One of the downfalls of Summer are the bugs and even worse the bug repellent. So I was thrilled to discover these insect repellent bracelets to eliminate the need for smelly, potentially harmful sprays. The bracelets are sold in a pack of 12 with the colors shown using natural citronella, lemongrass and geraniol essential oils providing 300 hours of protection from bugs. Each bracelet is individually wrapped to easily bring on the go.
