NEW BUG REPELLING SOLUTION
by Steve McCadams
 

 The season for biting insects is here and so is the perennial question about whether DEET should or should not be an ingredient in your repellent. For Dan Ritter of BugBand Products the answer is certainly not.

“DEET destroys plastic, rubber, nylon and more. DEET will damage your sunglasses, the crystal on your watch, your fishing line, painted surfaces and personally, I wouldn’t trust it on my skin, either,” said Ritter. Ritter said the main insect-repelling ingredient in his BugBand repellent is the natural oil Geraniol which sets up a pleasant-smelling vapor barrier to ward off insects.
