Sometimes you don’t just need natural insecticide for your yard, garden, and home.  You also need it for yourself and your pets. You want to avoid the aggravation and even the disease that can come from bug bites.  You just don’t want to put unnatural chemicals on your body that might cause another kind of harm. 

Luckily, there is a natural insecticide for your every personal insect killing need.  Many people don’t like to use the mosquito repellent with DEET in it.  They fear that it is unsafe for their skin. 

Fortunately, there are all kinds of natural insecticide on the market to replace DEET.  One mosquito repellent has only water, natural oils, and vanillin.  One kind of natural insecticide for mosquitoes is a patch that you wear for 24 hour.  After this time, you will be protected for 36 hours.  One natural insecticide recipe for insect repellent works for fleas, ticks, and chiggers.  It uses lavender, sage, mint, rosemary and wormwood.  You mix these ingredients together and cover them with vinegar of the four thieves.  Let it set for a week and then apply it with a cloth.

People in the US have been using natural insecticide for years.  Some are becoming more concerned about the environment and the safety of the food supply.  Many of these have switched back to natural insecticide.  So, how much is natural insecticide being used around the world? 

Growers in the Philippines have been troubled by the health hazards caused by using synthetic chemical insecticides.  Their producers are becoming ill with chronic health problems.  Their consumers end up with produce that contains chemical residues.  They are interested in natural insecticide.  Thailand is another country whose government and citizens are concerned with the chemical residues on agricultural produce.  Many in Asian countries feel the same way.  Their middle-class is growing.  This gives them more options, one of which is choosing natural insecticide.

Have you decided to go all natural?  All natural diet, all natural pet food, all natural medicines, natural insect control, and all natural gardening have become the wave of the present and future.  Many people think something is new just because it hasn’t been in the spotlight.  But natural alternatives have been around for years.  They just didn’t receive their kudos because of the convenience people prefer from leading busy lives.  Most have found, though, that convenience can be damaging to our environment.

Convenience has hurt our rivers and roadsides because of packaging being tossed away carelessly.  Convenience has hurt our family time because of lost time preparing food, eating at the family dinner table, and gardening together.  Convenience has hurt our ozone layer.  This doesn’t mean convenience is bad; it is what you make it.  If you allow anything to take over your life it can turn into a negative.

Ants can be a nuisance, a threat to those who are allergic to ant bites, and have been known as killers.  It wouldn’t seem possible of such a tiny creature, but their biggest defense seems to be their numbers.  They multiply rapidly, easily, and quickly.  They can take over a yard if left to themselves.  A small child who accidentally falls into a fire ant bed and becomes quickly covered in them will be in misery and pain, sometimes having to be rushed to an emergency room.  A dying animal can be overtaken by them and used as a food source.

Ants eat a wide variety of things.  They’re not nearly as picky as we humans when it comes to their dinner choices.  They don’t even need silverware!  They can carry large weights in comparison to their body sizes.
