Bug Soother is Safe for Pets

Ready for a Gnat Free Summer? Use Bug Soother.

Bugs can ruin the best things about summer — pestering you at picnics, biting at baseball games, swarming while you’re swimming. There are days when the mosquitoes, gnats, and “no-see-ums” are enough to make you want to stay inside.

It’s not just us humans who can’t stand these bugs. They pester pets, too. And when it comes to mosquitoes, they’re not just annoying; they’re dangerous. Mosquitoes carry West Nile Virus and heartworm, both of which can be deadly in dogs and cats. The more you can do to keep mosquitoes from biting your pets, the better.

To spare your pets – and your summer fun — from bugs this summer, I’ll let you in on a little secret that outdoorsy-types here in Iowa swear by: Bug Soother. Bug Soother is a truly effective bug repellent that is safe for pets and kids because it’s made from all-natural ingredients.

Bug Soother Gnat Repellent for You and Pets

Safely Protects You, Children and Pets

The active ingredients in Bug Soother are lemongrass, lemon, and vanilla essential oils. That’s it. No harsh chemicals. No DEET. Turns out that the lemon and vanilla smells in Bug Soother mask the scents that attract bugs so they’ll look elsewhere for food. And that’s good news for you and your furry friends.

Bug Soother doesn’t leave behind greasy residue either. It smells good, goes on smooth, and leaves the skin feeling silky, not oily.  Just spray Bug Soother on your exposed skin or give your pet a good once-over and send them on their way.

Bug Soother was originally developed to ward off gnats, but it’s highly effective against mosquitoes and other annoying insects, too. No wonder Bug Soother has become a cult favorite with hunters, fishermen, golfers, and hikers who’ve tried all kinds of bug repellants. Folks swear by this stuff. Bug Soother has become so popular that people buy it by the case!

We’re proud to stock Bug Soother not just because it’s an excellent product that really works, but also because it’s proudly made in the U.S.A. by Simply Soothing, a small, family-owned company in Columbus Junction, Iowa. When the Simply Soothing folks were researching alternatives to DEET-based bug repellants, they focused on natural ingredients and struck upon this magical formula. The rest is history – and so are the bugs this summer if you use Bug Soother!

Here’s to a bug free summer,
