Moms: Top Deet-Free Bug Sprays That Work To Keep Kids Bite-Free

Check out this list of DEET-free bug sprays that will help keep your kids bite-free all summer long.

Now that the warmer weather is here so are the bugs that come with it!

Nothing can put a damper on fun summer excursion or day outside than a nasty bug bite so it's important to have a bug spray that not only works but is safe for your kids.
