Bug Spray is an insect repellent that can be applied to the skin and used to discourage pests from landing or crawling on a surface. DEET, the active ingredient in many repellent products, doesn't kill bugs, but rather makes it difficult for them to smell us. Bug spray is available in many different forms, and products may contain between 5 and 99% DEET. There are also DEET-free and other natural solutions made from oil of lemon eucalyptus. Bug Spray plays an integral part in preventing diseases such as West Nile virus, the Zika virus, Malaria, and even Lyme disease.
