Our family loves being outdoors and we spent a significant amount of time enjoying our large backyard. Unfortunately with warmer weather we have officially entered mosquito season and we are getting attacked relentlessly any time we are in the yard now. Just last weekend we spent a few hours cutting up some branches from the yard and dragging them over to the fire pit. I must have slapped at my arms and legs dozens of times to keep those pesky mosquitoes off. Sadly I am still paying the consequences a week later as my legs are covered in extremely itchy mosquito bites! I am very cautious of what i choose to put on our skin, I am not going to just spray any old bug spray on my skin or my children’s. Thankfully I have found the perfect product that makes keeping the bugs away safe for the entire family!
The youngest of my three children could spend all day long in the yard with her sidekick Duke. She isn’t just running around the yard, this kid and her dog are digging in the dirt, climbing tree branches, and running through bushes. While protecting our dog is as simple as giving him his heart-worm meds, protecting my toddler isn’t as simple, the last thing I want to do is spray her skin with chemicals! Your skin is the largest organ of your body and since it is porous, it absorbs whatever you put on it… and much of what we place on our skin is absorbed into our bloodstream… yeah it’s pretty scary when you really think about that, am I right?

You are probably asking yourself right now, well what makes this Guardian repellent so effective anyway? Guardian actually contains a citrus-vanilla scent which comes from the essential oil ingredients, this scent is known to repel misquotes and ticks.
Guardian is highly effective against mosquitoes and ticks, but lasts (up to 8 hours for mosquitoes and up to 4 hours for ticks) without the need for frequent reapplication. So no more chasing around the kids every 20 minutes trying to spray them down, hehe! I mean does my two year old really look like she wants to slow down?!
We found Guardian right at our local Kroger (which is selling Guardian at 25% off right now), which was perfect because that is where we get all of our groceries and household supplies anyways!
However, if you are not near a Kroger, Guardian Wilderness and Guardian Backyard 4-hour repellent are available on Amazon.com. Keep your family safe from pesky bugs this summer without the worry of nasty chemicals on their skin!
Hey, great post. My wife is always so mad at those bugs hah. Well, to be honest I’m a bit too, so thanks for sharing it!
