Repel pests, stay green

July 20, 2009 | Contests

If there’s one thing I’ve learned through our camping adventures this summer, it’s that nothing will inspire me to ditch my “green” ways quicker than insects that bite. But after that first DEET-filled day, the guilt set in, and I started looking for healthier alternatives that actually work.

Enter EcoSMART. It turns out that you really can have environmentally sensitive insect repellents! Thank goodness. My guilt is soothed, my children remain unbitten, and life is good.

For today’s contest, one lucky Want Not reader is going to receive an EcoSMART value bundle (winner’s choice). This is a great way to introduce yourself to a variety of their products, and free is our very favorite price, right? Right!

Want to win? First go read the contest rules and regulations, then come back here and leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. Eastern (8:59 p.m. Pacific) on Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009 to be entered. The winner will be determined by random number generation and greenness of aura. (Wait. Is a green aura good? Maybe that’s not a great idea….)

Ready? Go!

  10. 10 Jess Says:

    Oh my goodness this would be perfect! I have been wondering what to do about my nine month old and the insects we are sure to encounter in Maine in a few weeks. This would be wonderful!

  11. 11 Rachel Brown Says:

  30. 30 Leslie Says:

    Safe Picnic Value Bundle would be perfect!

  31. 31 Camila Says:

    I don’t know if its plain ignorance or just laziness, but I usually don’t carry or put on bug spray when I am out in the woods or even our backyard. There is something in me that says ‘oh well..” Sure, the red bite marks hurt and look gruesome later, but they’ll leave and it’s all part of the natural process, I figure. Of course, I do take care of my son and DH’s needs and will spray them with FamilyCare from SC Johnson. But, now that we are frequenting our local health food store, we are aware of more choices. Thanks for your suggestions too.

  32. 32 Kari Says:

    The baby girl and I would love this!

  33. 33 Cheryl Gillespie Says:

  38. 38 Dave Says:

    I’m just itching to see who wins this.

  67. 67 chris Says:

    Sounds like a great product! May just have to go buy some if the number generator doesn’t like me this time. (It is a pretty number generator though, I have to say that!)

  68. 68 Kate Says:

    Insects that bite make me cry. I would slather myself in 90% DEET if it would keep the bugs away. But I would be happier and healthier with something green, I know.

  69. 69 carla Says:

    yeah!

  70. 70 Theresa Says:

    Thank you!

  71. 71 Monica Says:

    Pick me!

  90. 90 g~ Says:

    Okay so we just got this new puppy (even though I am…er…*NOT* an animal lover) and we have been spending SO MUCH TIME outside in the humid, mosquito-y Georgia outdoors. I have never picked so many ticks off of myself and my children. Shudder and Gross. I suppose if there is no way we can actually permanently de-bug the entire state of Georgia, I suppose a pet-and-child-friendly bug spray would be almost (okay, not really) as good. So…ahem…consider me entered.

  91. 91 Midj Says:

    We use SSS by Avon here but would love to try an alternative that is green. The mother of one of the children in my childcare is in the Sustainabilty Dept here at our University and I will be passing the link along to her. Thanks!

  92. 92 AmieD Says:

    please make me invisible to the state bird of SC… the Skeeter.

  93. 93 Katie in MA Says:

    Do I get an extra pity vote if I tell you my kitchen is currently invaded by ants and they’re the kind that I have to let live to take the bait back? Either way, I am ALL about the bug spray this week!

  94. 94 Debbie Says:

    My son can’t use DEET because of a medical condition/prescription, so this would be great for him.

    Thanks, Mir!

  95. 95 Michele D Says:

    My children taste oh so good to mosquitos. They have huge welts allll over them. No matter what I do. Sniff.

  96. 96 Katherine Says:

    EcoSMART is my favorite. Thanks!

  97. 97 Lexi G Says:

  101. 101 Katherine Says:

    Being Deet free and bug free would be great!

  102. 102 heidi Says:

    Despite my attempt at being green, we are not stingy with the DEET. Would love to find an alternative.

  103. 103 ADifferentLaura Says:

    I’ve tried natural alternatives that don’t seem to work. I’d love to give this one a chance…

  104. 104 Katie Says:

    This would be awesome for our camping trips!

  105. 105 NTE Says:

    Sounds interesting – I’ll try anything to keep from being a bug’s banquet again.

  106. 106 Anthony Says:

    Sounds great!

  107. 107 Naha Says:

    oh yay..who likes pesky bugs anyway?

  108. 108 Jenn Says:

  122. 122 TinaH Says:

  123. 123 Diane Du Says:

    I would love to try this for my little ones with sensitive skin.

  124. 124 Kati Says:

    Sign me up. My poor son seems to attract skeeters, and ends up with big welts all over his legs.

  125. 125 Joanne Says:

    We are a tree huggong family! Fortunately we have lots of trees here in the Pacific NW! Just in case I win (fingers crossed) I will be out of town from 7/23-8/9!

  126. 126 Anne P Says:

    Oh, this would be awesome. My husband is very picky about bug repellant and has yet to settle on an eco-friendly one that is satisfactory to him.

  127. 127 Holly Says:

    Oh defintitely need this for around the lake and pool!

  128. 128 Heidi Says:

    Very cool. It just has to be better than the useless natural kind I bought. I’d love to try it!

  129. 129 Ellen Says:

  136. 136 Selena Says:

    This would be helpful for around bonfires. Thanks!

  137. 137 Heather Says:

    Thanks for the chance! We’d love to be able to keep the bugs away so that we could be outside more.

  138. 138 Robin Says:

    there is only a few minutes between the appearance of the mosquitos and the attack of the mosquitos areound here, it seems like they wait until my kids are prancing around trying to catch the lightning bugs to start biting them, we really need this!

  139. 139 Tiffany Says:

  140. 140 Jo Says:

    Oh, husband is a mosquito magnet! We’d love to try this out.

  150. 150 Suz Says:

    oooo Count me in. The dog loved it when I sprayed roundup in the yard. He since had about three baths just to make sure we got it all out. I’m all for finding something thats safe for him.

  151. 151 Pat Says:

    I live in Arkansas and have a rice field in my backyard. I do LOVE anything that will keep those pesky mosquitos off of us. You are the BEST Mir!

  155. 155 Candi Says:

    Be gone, bitey bugs!

  156. 156 ks grandma Says:

    According to the map of insect bites on my body, it would appear that I have been a smorgasbord for the buggy world way too often this summer. Would love to try out different options to what is currently obviously (scratch, scratch) not working.

  157. 157 Ann Says:

    I am very excited about trying this product. My sensitve-skinned daughter is alergic to Deet, so often she goes without any protection. We’re just coming into rainy season and then the mosiquitos take over. Thanks for the chance to win!

  158. 158 Sara Says:

    Next to being debt-free, being deet free is something I would enjoy. And probably easier to achieve…

  159. 159 Linda L Says:

    I’m itching to win this one! Thank you

  160. 160 Stacy Says:

    My child has an issue with Deet – and I have an issue with Mosquitos. Please pick us!

    I love green!

  163. 163 Sarah Says:

    Boo for bugs. Hooray for green!

  164. 164 Ruthie Says:

    Green is good.

  165. 165 Antonella Says:

    Oooohhh. I get eaten alive by the nasty critters… still, rather than kill the entire planet, would be nice to just avoid being bitten.

  166. 166 Jen Says:

    I won’t do deet, and I am one big mosquito bite all over. I really hope I win this one!

  167. 167 Sheila Says:

    I’d enter this contest, if I could stop scratching long enough to type…

  168. 168 Julie Says:

    My husband NEEDS this!

  169. 169 Jan Says:

    The bugs LOVE me and I would LOVE to have these products! Thanks, Mir and EcoSMART!

  170. 170 Aimee Says:

    We don’t use DEET so it’s always nice to find good alternatives!

  171. 171 Alicia Says:

    bugs, bugs go away!

  172. 172 blairzoo Says:

  173. 173 Ellen Says:

    out in the great outdoors today and really needed the bug spray.

  174. 174 Laura Says:

    Oh, please! We are being eaten alive this summer!

  175. 175 Jamie Says:

    Please! We have lots of mosquitoes in Texas.

  176. 176 Gretchen Says:

    Green is good.

  177. 177 Kristin Says:

    We live in ’squito land…

  178. 178 Laura Says:

    I’m so tired of mosquitoes around my house I am considering getting a bat box for my house. That is serious my friend.

  179. 179 CuriousParty Says:

    Oh please! Our next door neighbors have “a water pond” (unkempt swamp filled with weeds) AND a baby pool constantly filled with water for their dog to play in. Can we say mosquito heaven? And now the ones on the other side have stolen the baby pool for the dog idea. Soon I won’t be able to go outside.

  180. 180 Andrea Says:

    Oh, pretty please. Mosquitoes love me.

  181. 181 Beth S Says:

    Another contest, yay!

  182. 182 Randi Says:

    I’d really like to try this because we have the mosquitoes that a nuclear bomb couldn’t kill!! I’d love to find something that really works.

  183. 183 Karen Says:

    181 comments already! Honestly, take an afternoon and spend it working and look what I nearly missed!

  184. 184 Jill Says:

    I so need this. Considering the mosquitoes that take over our back yard every summer, and the fact that they dive bomb my kids . . .

    My kids don’t SEEM that sweet, but the mosquitoes sure think so!

  185. 185 Lisa Says:

    How perfect. Here in Maine it has rained and rained and the mosquitoes have multiplied and multiplied some more. Thanks for the chance.

  186. 186 Erin Says:

    Great prize!

  187. 187 Barbara Says:

    Deet-free mosquito repellent sounds good. I’ve read that Deet isn’t all that much better than more natural repellents, so why use it?

  188. 188 Kirsten Says:

    My numerous itchy skeeter bites beg you to pick me!

  189. 189 Christina Says:

    Since we need bug-spray just to go out in the backyard, this would be a heaven-sent!

  190. 190 divrchk Says:

    Awesome. We have some crazy bugs in TN.

  191. 191 Anna Says:

    Thanks for the recommendation! This would be great for our big camping trip next month!

  192. 192 AJP Says:

    This would be excellent!

  193. 193 Heidi Says:

    My dad is convinced that nothing will stop bugs from biting him. I’d love to try this and prove him wrong!

  194. 194 RachelJ Says:

    Always looking for more ways to be environmentally friendly. Thanks for the info!

  195. 195 Dianna Says:

    The backwoods of Western Montana would be a great place to try the bug repellant out, don’t you think?

  196. 196 Leanne Says:

    I <3 green!

  197. 197 Stacy Says:

    We live in a mosquitoe pit, so I am in desperate need of a some repellant…trying to be economical and use up what I have before trying something new, but winning would be a great way to try something new and save money!

  198. 198 Keri Says:

    Holy moly! Popular contest. Who knew so many people detest bugs? Add me to the list!

  199. 199 melinda Says:

    Wonderful. . . I hate putting the standard bug sprays on the kids and Skin-So-Soft just doesn’t work – at least for us. MKW

  200. 200 Lelia Says:

    No DEET? I might miss the toxic fumes, but I could stand to reduce my chemical glow.

  201. 201 Tami Says:

    Love this product line – going camping for 2 weeks – definitely need bug spray. Thank you!

  202. 202 Heidiho Says:

    I have the most bug bite riddled child. This would be great!

  203. 203 June Says:

    Here goes nothing!

  204. 204 Carolyn Says:

    I would like to be picked, please. LOL!

  205. 205 brigita Says:

    Bugs like to eat my toddler’s sweet eyelid meat, giving her huge, itchy shiners! Gah!

  206. 206 Tracey Says:

    I hope I win!

  207. 207 Katie Says:

    Oooh, that sounds good. Maybe I’ll be able to venture outside again before Winter!

  208. 208 Virginia Says:

    Keeping our fingers crossed!

  209. 209 Kim Says:

    My mosquito-allergic toddler would beg for this, if she cared a bit about being covered with red whelps all summer. But I care! GIMME!

  210. 210 KarenNM Says:

    I get bitten by everything – this would be wonderful!

  211. 211 Grace Says:

    My kids are always being bitten by one thing or the other…just never put anything on them, b/c I’m afraid of all the chemicals. I would love to try this out!

  212. 212 Dana Schroeder Says:

    Green is definitely the way to go especially if it keeps the bugs away!
