Sirona Nutrition Essential Oil Bug Shield

Citronella oil is primarily known as a natural insect repellent, particularly effective against mosquitoes. Citronella oil's strong scent masks the scent of humans and animals, which can attract insects. It can be diffused into the air or applied topically to the skin (diluted with a carrier oil) to repel mosquitoes and other pests. Eucalyptus has a strong scent that impedes many insects' sense of smell which makes it difficult for them to locate their target and drives them away from the area. This is especially helpful when it comes to mosquitoes. Lavender oil can be used as a natural bug repellent, particularly for mosquitoes and other flying insects. It's known for its ability to repel insects and also has soothing properties that can calm the skin. Rosemary oil is used for bugs due to its repellent and insecticidal properties, which are attributed to its unique chemical composition. It disrupts insect physiological processes, causing disorientation and preventing infestations. Rosemary oil can repel mosquitoes, ants, spider mites, and other insects. Rosemary oil contains compounds that can disrupt insect cell structure and permeability, leading to dehydration and death. Cedarwood oil is used for bugs due to its insect-repellent and insecticidal properties, particularly its effect on arthropods like ticks, ants, and other insects. The oil's effectiveness is attributed to cedrol, a biologically active ingredient that disrupts insect pheromones, interferes with breathing, and can even help dissolve their exoskeletons. Geranium oil, particularly the geraniol and citronellol compounds, acts as a natural repellent, making insects less likely to land or bite. Lemongrass oil is used for bugs because it contains compounds like citral and geranyl acetate, which act as natural repellents. These compounds are not appealing to insects, and some, like lemongrass oil, can even be fatal to them. The oil's strong, citrusy scent is also disliked by many insects, further contributing to its effectiveness as a bug repellent.
