Simple, Natural Bug Protection for Backyard Season
Happy Tuesday—and finally… the weather is cooperating.
Longer days, warmer evenings, more time outside.
And of course… the bugs are back too.
If you’ve ever been mid-cookout, swatting flies like it’s your new part-time job, you already know:
Outdoor prep always gets forgotten—until it’s too late.
Why You Need an Outdoor Kit (Before You Step Outside)
Most people don’t think about bug protection until:
- Guests are arriving
- Food is on the table
- Kids are already running barefoot through the yard
And suddenly… everyone’s getting eaten alive.
A simple solution?
Keep a small, ready-to-go outdoor kit by your door.
That way, instead of scrambling, you’re prepared.
Today’s Tip: Create a 2-Item Outdoor Kit
Keep it simple.
Your outdoor bag only needs two things:
- Something to keep bugs away from your space
- Something to keep bugs off your skin
Store it by the back door so grabbing it becomes automatic.
How to Keep Bugs Away from Your Patio or Seating Area
For your outdoor space, try using Purification Essential Oil Blend.
It contains citronella, which is commonly used to help deter bugs.
How to Use It:
- Add a few drops to cotton balls
- Place them around patio seating, tables, or outdoor dining areas
- Refresh as needed
Think of it like a citronella candle—but without the heavy, waxy smell.
Bonus tip:
If you get a bite, sting, or irritation, applying a small amount right away can help soothe the area.
