Tell Insects To Bug Off!

Karen E. Klages Chicago Tribune

Here’s something to serve your guests before you escort them to your back yard for a cookout. Give them a dose of Bug Off!, an herbal bug repellent.

Made from a mix of olive and bay oil, eucalyptus, pennyroyal and rosemary, the liquid Bug Off! repels those loathsome party wreckers.

Caution: A little goes a long way.

And it’s not recommended for use by pregnant women - pennyroyal is the problem.

We tested it under the most rigorous bug conditions - the vegetable garden. It worked.

A 2-ounce bottle costs $8 (Item No. 356360) and is available by mail order from Smith & Hawken, P.O. Box 6900, Florence, KY 41022; (800) 776-3336. Add $4.25 for shipping and handling.
