What kind of bug spray are you using?

The mosquitos and ticks are getting really bad around me and I need to use something on Morgan.  I was thinking of Avon's Skin So Soft but it isn't good for the ticks.  So I found another one on their website, but not sure if it's good for toddlers.

Any suggestions/comments/recommendations for me?

Our daycare (due to Michigan daycare rules) requires that it have Deet in it, so we ended up with Off Family.  We just make sure that she gets a bath at night to wash everything (that, sunscreen, a nice layer of dirt) off.  I'm not sure how much I love it conceptually, but it keeps the mosquitos and ticks off.

I just got some Ava Anderson bug spray. Their stuff is all non-toxic. We haven't used it yet, but i have really liked all the other Ava products I've tried and I feel good about the ingredients.

Recall from 10ish years ago, the (adult) dr said only Deet is repellant for ticks. Did you ask your pedi?

We live in a rural area where they don't spray & we have woods. I always use tree tea oil mixed with water. Usually half to half. Its very effective & child & pet safe. I do reapply about every hour. Bonus is it doesn't stink or make you sticky & the next day your skin is super soft. Plus if you do get a bug bite I use straight TTO & it immediately takes away the itch & heals fast.
